DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE The EZ Switch™ 10/100, SMC6405TX, is a 5-port Fast Ethernet switch. Its 5 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports deliver dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to each attached LAN segment—all with conventional cabling and adapters. Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed and communication mode for each connection. With store-and-forward switching and flow control, maximum data integrity is always maintained, even under heavy loading.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE • Light weight, compact construction with versatile switch stand for installation on a desktop or wall. 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 Switch Status LEDs 2 LEDs Condition Status Power Green Switch is receiving power. Link/Activity Yellow Indicates a valid 10BASE-T connection between the port and the attached device.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE Side Panel Connectors EZ Switch 10/100 SMC6405TX Front Panel Switch Stand Side-Panel RJ-45 Ports The side-panel ports are dual-speed RJ-45 ports that support auto-configuration for MDI or MDI-X cable connection. PCs , switches or hubs can be connected to these ports with straight-through cable. Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) are selected automatically.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH INSTALLING THE SWITCH With its versatile switch stand, the EZ Switch 10/100 SMC6405TX can be securely mounted on a desktop or shelf, in either an upright or flat position, or on a wall.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Selecting a Site Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when choosing a location: • Select a suitable location for the switch: • 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.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Instructions 1. Positioning the Switch: For wall mounting, attach the switch stand to the wall with two small screws, and then slide the switch’s rear-panel track onto the stand. To stand the switch upright, slide the base of the switch onto the stand. To lay the switch flat, slide the switch’s rear-panel track onto the stand. 2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the socket on the switch’s side panel, and the other end into an appropriate electrical outlet.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Sample Application A typical application for the EZ Switch 10/100 is illustrated below: Notebook PC EZ Switch 10/100 SMC6405TX Desktop PC Ethernet Hub or Switch Scanner Printer 7
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Symptom Power LED does not light after power on. Probable Causes Power outlet or power cord may be defective. Possible Solutions • Check for loose connections. • Check the power outlet by using it for another device. • Replace the power cord. 2. Symptom Link LED does not light after connection is made. Probable Causes Switch port, network card or cable may be defective. Possible Solutions 8 • Check that the switch and attached device are both powered on.

Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires.
CABLES The figure below illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments With standard straight-through 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cable, pins 1 and 2 are used for transmitting data, and pins 3 and 6 for receiving data. The “+” and “-” signs in the table below are used to represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
