I NTRODUCTION
The EZ Switch 10/100/1000, SMCGS16-Smart and SMCGS24-Smart, are
high performance web managed smart switches for delivering
performance and control to your network. They provide 16/24
full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network
performance and boost throughput using Smart features configured on the
web interface. With 32/48 Gigabits of throughput bandwidth, these
switches provide the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands on
your network.
Features and Benefits
• User friendly web management interface
• Supports Qos, VLANs and Trunk configuration
• Store-and-forward switching ensures error-free transmission
• Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being dropped
under heavy loading
• Plug-and-play—Optional configuration using web interface
• “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status monitoring
• Desktop or rack installation

I NITIAL C ONFIGURATION
2
I NITIAL C ONFIGURATION
To make use of the management features of your SMC Smart Switch you
must first give it an IP address. For simplicity, this should be done before
you permanently install the switch in the network.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Place your Smart Switch close to the PC that you will use to configure
it. It will help if you can see the front panel of the switch while
working on your PC.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel
of your Smart Switch, start your PC (if it is not already running),
connect power to the switch and, when your PC has finished its
start-up sequence, verify that you have a link by checking the LEDs on
the front-panel of the switch (see the Hardware Description for more
information).
3. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. If your PC has a different address from the
switch but is on the same subnet (i.e. the PC and switch both have
addresses that start 192.168.2.x but are different thereafter) you can
skip directly to step 4. Otherwise you will have to set your PC’s IP
address manually. If you are unfamiliar with this process, please refer
to the “Changing PC’s IP Address” on page 7.
4. After changing your PC's IP address, open your web browser and
enter the address http://192.168.2.10. If your PC is properly
configured, you will see the login page of your Smart Switch. If you do
not see the login page, please check your settings and repeat step 3.
5. Enter the password (the default is “smcadmin”) and click on the Login
button.

6. Click on the SYSTEM menu-choice then click on LAN Settings when
it appears. On the LAN Settings page, enter the IP address, Subnet
Mask and Gateway IP Address for the switch then click on the APPLY
button.
No other configuration changes are required at this stage but it is
recommended that you change the administrator’s password before
logging out. To change the password click on the SYSTEM¬ Password
menu-choice and fill in all the fields on the Password Settings page before
clicking on the APPLY button. (see “Setting the Switch’s IP Address” on
page 16 for more information)

C ONFIGURING THE S WITCH

C ONFIGURING THE S WITCH
Using the Web Interface
This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser
you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network
activity. The web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network
using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, or Mozilla
Firefox 1.0 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first
performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. (Default: 192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0/0.0.0.0)
(See “Initial Configuration” on page 2.)
2. Set a new password using the web interface. (Default: “smcadmin”).
Access to the web interface is controlled by the password.
(See “Configuring the Logon Password” on page 15.)
Note: If, at any point, you cannot remember the switch's IP address,
you can restore the original settings by following the procedure
described in the "Troubleshooting" section.
