NTRODUCTION
The EZ Switch™ 10/100 SMC-EZ1016DT and SMC-EZ1024DT are
16/24-port Fast Ethernet switches. The 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 communication mode
for each connection. Auto-sensing is used to select the optimal
transmission speed for each connection. With store-and-forward
switching and flow control, maximum data integrity is always
maintained, even under heavy loading. Easy installation and
reliability make this plug-and-play switch an ideal choice for smooth
Fast Ethernet integration.
Green Saving Switches
The Green Saving technologies are intelligent, innovative algorithms
that detect link status and distance to best save power while
maintaining performance and stability.
l
Power saving by Auto-Detection of the number of active
ports
:
The SMC-EZ1016DT/SMC-EZ1024DT switches will auto-detect
the link status and automatically cut off power at a given port
during periods of idle (when a port is unconnected or a PC is
turned off). After it detects an incoming signal, it wakes up from
power saving mode and operates in normal mode.
l
Power saving by Cable length Auto-Detection
:
The SMC-EZ1016DT/SMC-EZ1024DT switches can actively
detect the presence of a shorter cable and determines the
appropriate power level based on cable length so there’ll be
less power consumption when the link distance is shorter.
