or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally equivalent
product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or replace any
product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering
new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration
can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC web site.
Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime warranty
covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of time during
which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be “Active” while it

obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its product line with one
that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete product is discontinued
and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued products with their
respective dates of discontinuance can be found at:
http://www.smc.com/smc/pages_html/support.html.

A BOUT THE EZ S WITCH 10/100
The EZ Switch™ 10/100 SMC-EZ1024DT is a 24-port Fast Ethernet
switch. 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.
Features and Benefits
◆Auto-negotiation of half or full duplex, and auto-sensing of
transmission speed, on all ports
◆Auto configuration for MDI/MDI-X cable connection allows
connections to servers, workstations, hubs or switches to be made
with straight-through cabling
◆ANSI/IEEE 802.3u compliance ensures compatibility with
standards-based hubs, switches and cards from any vendor
◆Store-and-forward switching ensures error-free transmission
◆Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being
dropped under heavy loading

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.
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the
following factors:
•Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly
may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the
rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating
temperature range.
•Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of
a rack-mounted switch.
•Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack
assembly is not overloaded.
•Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly
grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the mains.
Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference
such as radios and transmitters.

I NSTALLING THE S WITCH
6
Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 2.44 meters
(8 feet) of the switch and is powered from an independent circuit
breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.
Instructions
1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach the
four adhesive feet to the bottom of the switch. For rack-mounting,
attach the mounting brackets on both sides of the switch with the
screws provided, and install the switch in the rack.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power cable into the power
receptacle at the back of the switch, and the other end into an
appropriate electrical outlet. Check the Power LED to be sure power is
on.
Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting
or disconnecting any UTP cables, as these actions will not
disrupt the operation of other devices attached to the switch.
3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the switch
with a straight-through twisted-pair cable segment, maximum
100 meters (328 feet). Use Category 3, 4, or 5 cable for 10 Mbps
connections, and Category 5 cable for all 100 Mbps connections. The
EZ Switch 10/100 will support up to 24 PCs. See the the “Cable
Specifications” and “Connectivity Guidelines” sections of this guide
for further information.
Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, the
data rate will be sensed automatically and communication
mode will default to half duplex.
4. Cascading Switches and Other Network Devices: All the
ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration for
cable connections. This allows you to use straight-through cable to
connect to other switches or hubs from any port on the switch. No
crossover cables or other device settings are needed. See the “Cable
Specifications” and “Connectivity Guidelines” sections of this guide
for further information.
