1 INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The SMCGS1601 and SMCGS2401switches provide you with a highperformance, low-cost, ease-of-use, seamless, and standard upgrade that
boosts your old network to 1000 Mbps. Increase the speed of your network
server and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality. Power users in the
home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment, can now move
large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, multimedia,
and other large files across the network almost instantly.
The SMCGS1601 and SMCGS2401switches feature a non-blocking switching
architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum
throughput. The switches are compatible with all 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps
Ethernet devices because they are standard-based. The switches protect your
existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward
migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.
The SMCGS1601 and SMCGS2401switches are plug-and-play devices; no
configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminates
the need for crossover cables. Each port can be used as an end-node or uplink
port, and any port can be simply plugged into a server, hub, router, or switch,
using straight-through or crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs, which display link
status and activity, allow you to quickly detect and correct problems on the
network.
FEATURES
◆ Complies with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab standards.
◆ 16/24 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing RJ-45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/
MDIX.
◆ All ports support full/half-duplex transfer mode for 10/100 Mbps and full-
duplex transfer mode for 1000 Mbps.
