Warnings and Cautionary Messages

Warnings (in German)

Warning: This product does not contain any serviceable user

parts.

Warning: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried

out by qualified personnel only.

Warning: When connecting this device 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.

Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber

optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the
requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are

inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you
should never look directly at a transmit port when it is
powered on.

Caution: Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable

measures to prevent electrostatic discharge when
handling this equipment.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector in the RJ-45 port.

This may damage this device. Les raccordeurs ne sont
pas utilisé pour le système téléphonique!

Caution: Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors

that conform to FCC standards.

Achtung: Dieses Produkt enthält keine Teile, die eine Wartung

vom Benutzer benötigen.

INTRODUCTION

This manual describes how to install and use SMC’s EZ
Switch 10/100 FS5 and FS8. It features 5 or 8 10/100
Mpbs Auto Negotiating switch ports, and provides the

flexibility solution for your networking requirements. The
EZ Switch 10/100 can be used to connect with PCs,
servers, hubs, bridges, other switches and routers. It can

also act as a bridge between 10Mbps and 100Mbps
networks segments.

This EZ Switch supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps dedicated
bandwidth on each port. The Switch is built with plug &

play, auto-negotiation on all ports, store-and-forward
transmission scheme, IEEE802.3x flow control and back
pressure operation for easy installation and smooth

transition from legacy 10Mbps to 100Mbps Ethernet
networks. All ports support MDI/MDI-X to reduce the
possibility of cabling problems.

Description of Hardware

The EZ Switch 10/100, SMCFS5, and SMCFS8, are 5/
8-port Fast Ethernet switch featuring 5/8 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX auto-negotiation ports. These switches

provide an ideal bridge between 10Mbps and 100 Mbps
Ethernet networks.

Features and Benefits

• IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u compliance ensures
compatibility with standards-based hubs, switches and

cards from any vendor

• 5/8 dual-speed 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation ports

• Plug-and-play—nothing to configure

• Auto MDI/MDI-X on all ports—Allow easy cabling.

• “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status
monitoring

• Jabber lock-up function automatically stops
transmission of abnormal frames to prevent network

disruption

• Desktop installation—No internal fan is required.

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 LEDs:

Rear Panel

These EZ Switch 10/100 models feature 5/8 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors located on the
rear panel of the Switch. Each port contains a built-in

wiring crossover (MDI-X) that allows for the use of
straight-through twisted-pair cable for connections to
devices without built-in crossover ports (i.e., workstations,

printers, etc.).
The DC power connector is also located on the rear panel

of the switch.

INSTALLING

THE SWITCH

The EZ Switch 10/100 can be placed on a desktop or shelf
and stacked with other devices using the provided 4 rubber

foot pads.

Package Checklist

The EZ Switch 10/100 package includes:

• EZ Switch 10/100 SMCFS5 or SMCFS8

• Appropriate DC power adapter

• Four rubber feet

• SMC Warranty Registration Card

• This User Guide

Please register this product and upgrade the product
warranty at www.smc.com.

Selecting a Site

Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when
choosing a location:

• It should be accessible for installing, cabling and
maintaining the switch.

• The temperature and humidity should be within the
ranges listed in the specifications.

• The status LEDs should be clearly visible.

• There should be adequate space (approximately two
inches) on all sides for proper air flow.

• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away
from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and

EZ Switch 10/100

5

other sources of electrical interference such as radios,
transmitters, etc.

• Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is
located near to the switch.

Instructions

1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf

mounting, attach the four adhesive foot pads to the
bottom of the switch.

2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter

into the socket on the switch’s rear panel, and the
other end into an appropriate electrical outlet. Check

the Power LED to be sure power is on.

Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before

connecting or disconnecting any UTP cables, as
these actions will not disrupt the operation of
other devices attached to the switch.

3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port

on the switch using a straight-through twisted-pair
cable segment, maximum 100 meters (328 ft.). The EZ

Switch 10/100 will support up to 5 or 8 Connections.

4. Cascading Switch and Other Network Devices:

Prepare straight-through Category 5 twisted-pair cable
with RJ-45 plugs. Make sure the cable does not exceed

100 meters (328 ft). Connect one end of the cable to
the switch’s port, and connect the other end of the
cable to an MDI/MDI-X RJ-45 port on the other

device.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Symptom

Power LED does not light after powering on the
switch.

Probable Causes

Power outlet or power cord may be defective.

Possible Solutions

• Check for loose connections.

• Check the power outlet by using it with another

device.

• Replace the power cord.

2. Symptom Link

LED does not light after a connection is made.

Probable Causes

Switch port, network card or cable may be defective.

Possible Solutions

• Check that the Switch and attached device are

both powered on.

• Be sure the network cable is connected to both

devices.

• Verify that Category 5 cable is used for 100 Mbps

connections and that the length of any cable does
not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

• Check the network card and cable connections

for defects.

• Replace the defective card or cable if necessary.
