Overview

| Introduction

POE FEATURES

The SMCGS1601P can provide up to 30 W atts of power to attached devices, such
as VoIP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, etc, all over
existing Cat. 5 cables. The switch can deliver up to 30 Watts on 8 ports, or 15.4
Watts on 16 ports. This eliminates the need for individual power sources for
devices in the network, saving on costs for power cables and avoiding power
outlet availability issues.

IEEE 802.1P QOS

The SMCGS1601P switch supports 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service,
which is an implementation of the IEEE 802.1p standard. With the 802.1p QoS
function, network traffic that requires high priority, such as VoIP (Voice-over
Internet Protocol), web browsing applications or video conferencing, can be
forwarded before other traffic. The switch has separate hardware queues for
each physical port, when packets are received with an 802.1p priority tag, they
are sent to the appropriate output queue.

The illustration below shows how 802.1p priority queuing is implemented on the
switches.

Figure 1: Mapping QoS on the Switch

Tag untag 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Priority Level

Weight Value 1 2 4 8

TC0 TC1 TC2 TC3

There are four priority levels labeled TC0, TC1, TC2 and TC3. The untagged
packets and the eight IEEE 802.1p priority tags (defined by the standard) are
mapped to the four priority queues on the switch. TC3 has the hi ghest pr iority of
the four priority queues while TC0 has the lowest priority. The untagged packets
and eight priority tags, specified in IEEE 802.1p, are mapped to the switch’s
priority tags as follows:

◆ Untagged packets, and packets with priority tag 1 and 2 are assigned to the

switch’s TC0 level queue.

◆ Packets with priority tag 0 and 3 are assigned to the switch’s TC1 level

queue.

◆ Packets with priority tag 4 and 5 are assigned to the switch’s TC2 level

queue.

C

HAPTER

| Introduction

Overview

◆ Packets with priority tag 6 and 7 are assigned to the switch’s TC3 level

queue.

The SMCGS1601P switch uses W eighted R obin Ro und (WRR) for scheduli ng. The
WRR queue-scheduling algorithm schedules all the queues in turn with every
queue assured a certain service time. For both WFQ and WR R mode, the defaul t
weight values of TC0, TC1, TC2 and TC3 are 1:2:4:8.

| Hardware Description

RJ-45 PORTS

The switch contains 16 1000BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All ports 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.

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission
mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10/100/1000 Mbps) is selected
automatically.

Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the
switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

REAR PANEL

The rear panel of the switch features a power socket.

:

If you intend to connect the switch to ground through the PE
(Protective Earth) wire of the AC power cord, make sure the PE wire in
the electrical outlet is well grounded in advance.

POWERING ON

The SMCGS1601P switch is powered by connecting to an AC power supply using
a power cord. When powering on the switch, it automatically initializes and the
LED indicators respond as follows:

1. All of the LED indicators flash momentarily for one second, which repres ents

a resetting of the system.

CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES

This switch is designed to be connected to 10, or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs
and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs.

CABLING GUIDELINES

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to
connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections,
and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.

CONNECTING TO PCS, SERVERS, HUBS AND SWITCHES

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45

connector.

2. Attach the other end of the cable segment to an available port on the

switch.

Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in
length.

3. As each connection is made, the relevant port LED (on the switch)

corresponding to each port will turn on green to indicate that the conne ction
is valid.

Enterprises, museums, campuses, hospitals, and banks can install
IP cameras without any location limits - no need for an electrician
to install AC sockets.

PoE Splitter

A PoE splitter splits the PoE 48 VDC from the Ethernet cable into a
5/12V DC power output. It frees device deployment from the
restrictions of power outlet location, which eliminates the costs for
additional AC wiring and reduces installation time.

A TROUBLESHOOTING

DIAGNOSING SWITCH INDICATORS

THE POWER LED IS OFF

◆ Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the switch and power source

properly.

◆ Make sure the power source is ON.

THE LINK/ACT LED IS OFF WHEN A DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE
C

ORRESPONDING PORT

◆ Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and

the device.

◆ Make sure the connected device is turned on and working properly.

◆ The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet).

◆ Check the port on the attached device and cable connections for possible

defects. Replace the defective cable if necessary.

POWER AND COOLING PROBLEMS

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you
may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power
supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose
power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still
cannot isolate the problem, the internal power supply may be defective.

INSTALLATION

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network
cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the
other components are functioning properly.
