L IMITED WARRANTY
Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products
to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and
service, for the applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day
limited warranty from the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller.
SMC may, at its own discretion, repair 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

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 is listed on
the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older technologies become
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.

D ESCRIPTION OF H ARDWARE
SMC’s TigerSwitch™ Gigabit Extender Module provides a Gigabit
fiber port that can be used for a high-speed backbone or server
connection.
The SMC6724L2GSSC contains one 1000BASE-SX multimode fiber
port that can be connected to a site up to 550 m (1805 ft) away.
The SMC6724L2GLSC contains one 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber
port that can be connected to a site up to 5 km (16,404 ft) away.
Gigabit Port LEDs
The switch’s front panel provides LEDs that indicate the presence
of modules installed in the rear-panel slots. Port status LEDs are
also provided on the front of the switch for “at-a-glance” network
monitoring. The following table details the indicator functions
provided by the module.

I NSTALLING THE M ODULE
CAUTION: The SMC6724L2GSSC and SMC6724L2GLSC modules
are designed for the SMC6724L2 and SMC6724L3. These modules
may only be installed in these switches. Do not try to install them
in any other TigerSwitch units.
Contact your distributor for advice on newly released switches that
may be designed for use with this module.
The TigerSwitch 10/100 Extender Module is field installable. Just
follow the instructions below.
Equipment Checklist
After unpacking the Gigabit Extender Module, check the contents
of the box to be sure you have received the following items:
• One SMC6724L2GSSC or SMC6724LGLSC Gigabit Extender
Module
• SMC Warranty Registration Card
•ThisUserGuide

Handling the Modules
CAUTION: The modules can easily be damaged by electrostatic
discharge.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following guidelines:
• Do not remove the module from its packaging until you are
ready to install it.
•
Do not touch any of the module’s pins, connectors or components .
• Hold the module only by its edges or front panel.
• Wear an anti-static wristband connected to a suitable earth
ground whenever handling the module.
• Store or transport this module only in appropriate anti-static
packaging.
Instructions
CAUTION: The switch must be powered off before installing or
replacing any module.
1. Power off the switch: Disconnect the AC power cord from
the switch. If a redundant power unit (RPU) is present,
disconnect its DC cable connection to the switch.
2. Remove network cables: If you are replacing a module,
remove the cable attached to the port on the module.
3. Loosen the screws on the installed module or slot
faceplate: Using your fingers or a flathead screwdriver, turn
the screws securing the module (or faceplate on the slot) in a
counter-clockwise direction until they are free of the chassis.
Be sure not to completely remove the screws from the module
or faceplate.

4. Remove the installed module or faceplate: Firmly pull on
the screws until the module is free of the switch. Carefully
slide the module straight out of the slot.
Keep the original faceplate for future use. If you should
remove the module, replace the faceplate to prevent dust and
debris from entering the unit and to maintain proper air flow.
5. Insert the new module into the switch: Holding the new
module with the text on the front panel upright, carefully slide
the module into the lower slot on the rear panel, and press
gently until it snaps into place. Be sure the new module’s front
panel is flush with the switch panel.

6. Secure the new module: Secure the new module in place by
screwing the attached screws clockwise into the switch’s
chassis. Tighten them enough to secure the module, but not so
tight as to prevent them from being unscrewed by hand.
7. Connect the network cable: Connect fiber cable to the port
on the newly installed module. See “Cable Specifications” on
page 9 in this guide for further information.
8. Power on the switch: Reconnect the previously removed
power sources to the switch. Check the switch's front-panel
LED indicators to ensure that the module is operating correctly.
Refer to the table of LEDs on page 1 for a description of the
LED indications. If the module does not respond, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 7.
More details concerning connection options and network
applications can be found in the TigerSwitch 10/100 User Guide.
Information on the module’s configuration options can be found in
the Management Guide that is included with the base unit.

T ROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience any problems with the module, check the
following items before contacting SMC Technical Support:
•Ensure that the switch with the Gigabit Extender Module is
powered up.
•Ensure that the device attached to the module is powered up
and operating correctly.
•Ensure that the module is properly seated in the slot.
•Verify that the attached device is configured to match the
communication mode used by the module (1 Gbps and full
duplex).
•Check the connectors on both ends of the cable to be sure they
are properly engaged. When attaching fiber cable to an SC-type
port, be sure the plug clicks into place to ensure that it is
properly seated.
•If you are using fiber optic cable with an ST-type connector (in
conjunction with the SC-ST Converter*), try switching the TX
and RX connectors.
•Be sure the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable
plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball
moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber
optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted
through the cable.
*
You may use an SC-ST Converter (SMC Part Number:
99-012034-091) to attach fiber cable with an ST-type
connector to the SC-type port on the Gigabit Extender Module.
