Introduction
SMCGS501/SMCGS801 is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch,
with 5/8 ports capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay),
which means the switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on
the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks
into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth
demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100/1000Mbps
auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10/100Mbps to 1000Mbps
network. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers
a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every attached client without
bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI/ MDI-X function.
Each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub without crossover RJ-
45 cable.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the
network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex
mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without
causing collisions as well as double the network bandwidth. Moreover, Pre-IEEE
802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet is supported to save power consumption
The switch is plug and play without any software to configure and also fully
compliant with all kinds of network protocols.
Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in this package：
1. One 5/8–Port Gigabit Ethernet switch
2. One external power adapter
3. Four rubber feet
4. User’s Manual
5. Warranty Card
6. Quick Install Guide

LEDs Definition
The switch contains one power LED for the device, Link/Act LED for each port
that shows the activities and information of the ports.
Please refer to the following table for LEDs definition:
LED Status Operation
Steady Green The switch is powered on
Power Off The switch is powered off
Steady Green Valid port connection
Blinking Green Valid port connection and there is data
transmitting/ receiving
Link/ ACT
Off Port disconnected

Station Connection
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one RJ-45 connector
into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the station’s
network adapter. Power on the switch and then system is ready.
Switches Connection
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to connect another
switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the ports support auto MDI / MDI-X
function, using a straight cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
For cable selection, refer to the following table：
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10Mbps Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100Mbps Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
1000Mbps Category 5e, 6 UTP/STP 100 meters
[Note] To make this switch perform well, we strongly recommend below installation
environment:
1. SMCGS501/SMCGS801 is placed with appropriate ventilation environment. A
minimum 25mm space around the unit is recommended.
2. SMCGS501/SMCGS801 and the relevant components are away from sources of
electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
3. SMCGS501/SMCGS801 is away from environments beyond recommend
moisture.
