repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally
equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or
replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering
new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration
can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC web
site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime
warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of
time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be
“Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older
technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its
product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued
products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at:
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products may be

replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to returning
any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product returned to SMC
without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly marked on the outside
of the package will be returned to customer at customer’s expense. For warranty claims within

party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable for RJ-45 connections—Category 3 or greater
for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or greater for 100 Mbps connections and Category 5, 5e
or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. Use 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable,
or 9/125 micron single-mode cable, for SFP transceiver connections.
Warn ings: 1. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent elec-
trostatic discharge when handling this equipment.
2. When connecting this switch to a power outlet, connect the field ground lead
on the tri-pole power plug to a valid earth ground line to prevent electrical
hazards.

Power Cord Safety
Please read the following safety information carefully before installing the switch:
WA RN IN G: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
• The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply with international
safety standards.
• Do not connect the unit to an A.C. outlet (power supply) without an earth (ground)
connection.
• The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must have a
configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320 appliance inlet.
• The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can only remove power
from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet.
• This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions according to
IEC 60950. The conditions are only maintained if the equipment to which it is connected also
operates under SELV conditions.
France and Peru only
This unit cannot be powered from IT† supplies. If your supplies are of IT type, this unit must be
powered by 230 V (2P+T) via an isolation transformer ratio 1:1, with the secondary connection point
labelled Neutral, connected directly to earth (ground).
†
Impédance à la terre
When using a fiber optic port, never look at the transmit laser while
it is powered on. Also, never look directly at the fiber TX port and
fiber cable ends when they are powered on.
Ne regardez jamais le laser tant qu’il est sous tension. Ne regardez
jamais directement le port TX (Transmission) à fibres optiques et les
embouts de câbles à fibres optiques tant qu’ils sont sous tension.
Niemals ein Übertragungslaser betrachten, während dieses
eingeschaltet ist. Niemals direkt auf den Faser-TX-Anschluß und auf
die Faserkabelenden schauen, während diese eingeschaltet sind.

Overview
The SMC6726AL2 is a Fast Ethernet switch with 24 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX ports and two 1000BASE-T ports that operate in
combination with two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver
slots
*
(see Figure 1-1, Ports 25-26). The switch also includes an
SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and
out-of-band access for managing the switch.
This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2
switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your
network traffic. It brings order to poorly performing networks by
segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.3Q
compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast
switching and CoS services.
* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports 25-26.

Switch Architecture
The SMC6726AL2 switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching
fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets
at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability
on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data
integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be
received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded.
This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
Network Management Options
This SMC6726AL2 switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for
“at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a
management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch
using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To
manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the RS-232
console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a
network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or
SNMP-based network management software.
For a detailed description of the advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.

Description of Hardware
RJ-45 Ports
The SMC6726AL2 contains 24 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and two 10/
100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports that are shared with two SFP slots. All of
the RJ-45 ports can operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex.
The Gigabit ports can also operate at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. The RJ-45
ports all support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to
other switches or hubs. (See “10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments”
on page B-2.)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100 or
1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of
these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode
of that port can be configured manually.
Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch
can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
SFP Slots
The SMC6726AL2 contains two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceiver slots that are shared with 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports 25-26. If an
SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot, the associated
RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be
configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.
Port and System Status LEDs
The SMC6726AL2 includes a display panel for key system and port
indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The
LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown on
the next page and described in the following tables.
