Your SMC Smart switch should be regarded as a managed switch, optimized 
for simpler and smaller network configurations. It provides sophisticated, 
user-configurable features well beyond the capability of an unmanaged switch.
Your Smart switch supports security (VLANs), port aggregation (Trunking),
detailed diagnostics (Statistics and Port Mirroring) and bandwidth control (QoS,
Rate Limiting and Broadcast Storm Control). These features are described in
detail in the User Guide.

1. Power LED

When this green LED is on, the switch is powered-up.

2. Link/Act and 1000/100M LEDs

The Link/Act LED and 1000/100M LEDs are arranged in pairs; one on top 
of the other with a number separating them. The two LEDs are associated  
with the Ethernet port indicated by the number (see 3 below). The 
greenLink/Act LED turns on when there is an connection to the corresponding
Ethernet port and flashes to indicate that data is being sent or 
received over the connection. The 1000/100M LED indicates the speed 
of the connection: The LED turns green to indicate 1000Mbps, orange to 
indicate 100Mbps and turns off to indicate 10Mbps.

3. Ethernet Ports

There will be either 16 or 24 ports depending on the model of 
SMC Smart Switch you have purchased. These ports can be connected to       
PCs, network printers, wireless access points, gateways or similar devices. 
Note the number written on the front panel, next to each port. These numbers
are used throughout the Web management interface to refer to specific 
Ethernet ports. The numbers are also used to associate the front-panel 
Link/Act and 1000/100M LEDs to the appropriate Ethernet port.

e: a few seconds after the power cord is connected to the switch, 

all the LEDs will flash once. This is perfectly normal.

On the rear of your Smart switch you will find the socket for the supplied 
power cord.

When locating your switch, please ensure that:

The ambient temperature and humidity are within the specified ranges.

There is sufficient space at the sides to allow sufficient airflow. A minimum

of two inches (5cm) is recommended.

The Cat 5, twisted-pair cables that you use to connect network devices 

should be routed away from power lines and other sources of electrical 
interference e.g. radio transmitters.

A properly grounded power outlet is used.

A surge filter/suppressor is used to protect the switch from high-voltage 

spikes.

When connecting network devices to your Smart Switch, use a Cat 5 or Cat 5e
cable of 328ft (100m) or less.

After unpacking the SMCGS16/24-Smart, please check the contents of the

The following are required:

To attach a device (e.g. a PC) to your Smart switch, the device must  

have a working Ethernet port. Your Smart switch can communicate at 10,  
100 or 1000 Mbps.

To connect devices to your Smart switch at the maximum data rate you  

will need to use Cat 5 or 5e Ethernet cable; one cable for each device.

A PC with a CD-ROM drive is required to read the User Guide.
