The EZ Switch 10/100/1000, SMC8505T and SMC8508T, are
high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switches designed for delivering
Gigabit connectivity to the desktop. They provide 5/8 full-duplex
1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network performance
and boost throughput for high-bandwidth applications. With 10/16
Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, these switches provide the quickest
solution to meeting the growing demands on your network’s limited
resources.
Features and Benefits
• Auto-negotiation supported on all ports.
• Automatic MDI/MDI-X operation.
I
NTRODUCTION
• IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3u, and 802.3 compliance ensures compatibility
with standards-based hubs, switches and cards from any vendor.
• Store-and-forward switching ensures error-free transmission.
• Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being
dropped under heavy loading.
• Plug-and-play—nothing to configure.
• “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status monitoring.
• Desktop or rack installation.

Front Panel RJ-45 Ports
These EZ Switch 10/100 models feature 5/8 1000BASE-T ports with RJ-45
connectors located on the front panel of the switch. Because all ports
support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight- through
cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to
other switches or hubs.
Front Panel LEDs
The front panel of the switch provides status LEDs for “at-a-glance”
system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the
various indicators.
Port and System Status LEDs
LED Condition Status
Power On The switch is receiving power.
Off The switch is not receiving power.
Ports
Link/Act On The port has established a valid network
connection.
Off The port has not established a network
connection.
Flashing Traffic is passing through the port.
1000M On Indicates the port is operating at 1000 Mbps.
Off Indicates the port is not operating at
1000 Mbps.
10/100M On Indicates the port is operating at 100 Mbps.
Off Indicates the port is operating at 10 Mbps.
