The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering

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:

either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries either a 30-day limited
warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever is longer. SMC is not responsible
for any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory data of

replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to returning
any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product returned to SMC
without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly marked on the outside

web interface. With 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, Spanning Tree, IGMP, 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
To make use of the management features of your Tiger Switch, you must
first configure it with an IP address that is compatible with the network it
is being installed in. For simplicity, this should be done before you
permanently install the switch in the network.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Place your Tiger 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 Tiger Switch. Connect power to the switch and verify that you
have a link by checking the front-panel LEDs. (See the Hardware
Description on page 2 for more information on the LEDs.)
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 IP 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 ) you can skip directly to step 4.
Otherwise, you must set your PC’s IP address manually. If you are
unfamiliar with this process, see “Changing a PC’s IP Address” on
page 7.
4. 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
Tiger Switch. If you do not see the login page, please check your IP
address and repeat step 3.
5. Enter the default password "smcadmin" and click on the Login
button.
