TigerStack II 10/100 hubs are available in four different models. Each has either 12 or 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports plus two front-panel slots for slide-in modules: - SMC5912DS—12-port Base Hub preconfigured with Internal Switch Module - SMC5924DS—24-port Base Hub preconfigured with Internal Switch Module - SMC5912—12-port Expansion Hub - SMC5924—24-port Expansion Hub Figure 1-1. Front and Rear Panels of the SMC5924DS, and SMC5924 1-2 ABOUT THE HUBS The DS model Base Hubs are preconfigured with an Internal Switch Module, and the Network Management Module can be added as an option. Expansion Hubs come without any preconfigured modules and can accept a variety of optional Extender Modules. The Extender Modules provide a switched link connection to the hub stack using either one 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX port, one 100BASE-FX port, or one 10BASE2 BNC or AUI connector. The 100BASE-FX Extender Modules are available with SC or ST connectors. The Base Hubs can be used in a standalone configuration to provide connectivity between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps devices. You can build a stack with just one Base Hub and up to five Expansion Hubs to form a logical hub with up to 144 ports (see Figure 1-2 below). Each port can be connected to either a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps device. Ports automatically sense the speed of an attached device and channel data to the appropriate 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps segment. The Internal Switch Module in the Base Hub supports communication between the two segments for all hubs in the stack. Figure 1-2. Stacking Base Hubs and Expansion Hubs 1-3 ABOUT THE HUBS The hubs contain a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. Also, if the Base Hub contains a Network Management Module, the entire stack can be managed in-band via SNMP, RMON (groups 1, 2, 3 and 9), or a Web browser, as well as remotely via Telnet or SLIP. This module also has a serial port for out-of-band management. The hubs also provide a measure of fault tolerance. If two Network Management Modules are installed in the stack, only the module highest in the stack will be active; the Management Module in the lower hub is placed in standby mode. The standby Management Module will automatically take over if the active module fails. In addition, the hub’s stack connections support an auto-bypass feature. If any hub in a stack is powered off, data still passes through the stack connections to all other hubs, so operation of the rest of the stack remains uninterrupted. There’s also support for a Redundant Power Unit to ensure continuous operation in the event of a power failure. Note: Do not install more than two Network Management Modules in a stack. 1-4 ABOUT THE HUBS How to Use this Guide Please read Chapters 1 through 4 when installing the TigerStack II 10/100 hubs. If you have added a Network Management Module to one of the hubs as an option, also read the Advanced Reference Guide (included with this module) to learn how to manage your network. Twisted-Pair Ports The RJ-45 ports are located on the front panel of each hub. Ports 1 through 11 on the 12-port models and 1 through 23 on the 24-port models are labeled with an “x” to indicate that they have a built-in crossover. Workstations and servers can be connected to these ports with straight-through cable. The last port on each hub, port 12 or 24, is switch-selectable. There is an associated switch that is used to enable and disable the crossover, so these ports can always be connected to another hub or switch with straight-through cable. Figure 1-3. Twisted-Pair Ports 1-5 ABOUT THE HUBS Status LEDs The hub status LEDs are shown below and described in the following table. Figure 1-4. Port and Hub Status LEDs Port and Hub Status LEDs 1-6 LED Condition Status Power On Hub is receiving power. Switch On An intalled module's internal switch function is active. Off A module with an internal switch function is not installed or is inactive. Activity Flashing Traffic exists on the segment. Collision Flashing Two or more devices attempted to transmit data at the same time. Link/ Partition Green Port has established a valid 100 Mbps connection. Yellow Port has established a valid 10 Mbps connection. Flashing Port partitioned due to an abnormal network condition. ABOUT THE HUBS Internal Switch Module Figure 1-5. Internal Switch Module Located in the top expansion slot of the DS hub models, the Internal Switch Module interconnects the 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments and employs a buffered store-and-forward architecture to prevent bad packets from being propagated throughout the network. It also features a non-blocking design that allows simultaneous wire-speed transport in both directions at consistently low latency. A MAC address table that can hold 4K entries is provided for learning, filtering and forwarding. Addresses are automatically learned and maintained in the address table to enable the switch to perform filtering and forwarding at line-rate speeds. When a packet is encountered containing a destination address that does not appear in the table, the packet is broadcast to both segments. If more than one Internal Switch Module or Extender Switch Module is in a stack, only the internal switch function (interconnecting the 10 and 100 Mbps segments) that is in the module highest in the stack will be active; the internal switch function in all other modules is disabled automatically. Note that if the active internal switch function should fail, the stack needs to be reset for another module’s internal switch function to become active. 1-7 ABOUT THE HUBS Optional Network Management Module Figure 1-6. Network Management Module As an option, a Network Management Module can be inserted into the bottom slot of any hub model to manage the entire stack. It offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON and a web-based interface. The management features are described in the Advanced Reference Guide included in the Network Management Module package. This module also includes an RS-232 port for out-of-band management and a Master LED which is described below. Master LED ON Module is in active mode. OFF Module is in standby mode (inactive). A stack can support two Network Management Modules. The module highest in a stack is active and the other module is placed in standby mode. The standby module automatically takes over if the active module fails. Note: Do not install more than two Network Management Modules in a stack. 1-8 ABOUT THE HUBS Optional Extender Modules Figure 1-7. Optional Extender Modules There are seven Extender Modules to choose from. Each provides a switched link from the stack’s 100 Mbps segment that can be used to extend the size and reach of the stack. The Extender Switch Modules also include the internal switch function to interconnect the 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments. 1-9 ABOUT THE HUBS - SMC5900T—one external 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port, choice of crossover or daisy-chain connection - SMC5900FSC—one external 100BASE-FX port with SC connectors - SMC5900FST—one external 100BASE-FX port with ST connectors - SMC5900T/SW—one external 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port, choice of crossover or daisy-chain connection; plus internal switch function - SMC5900FSC/SW—one external 100BASE-FX port with SC connectors; plus internal switch function - SMC5900FST/SW—one external 100BASE-FX port with ST connectors; plus internal switch function - SMC5900BA/SW—one external switch-selectable BNC or AUI port; plus internal switch function The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port may be connected to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device, such as a hub, workstation, server or another switch. The port supports Auto-Negotiation, so the optimum data rate and operating mode—10 or 100 Mbps and half or full duplex—is selected automatically. However, if the other device does not support Auto-Negotiation, the data rate and operating mode can be forced to 100 Mbps full duplex via the 100Full/Auto toggle switch on the front of the module. Note that if an attached device does not support Auto-Negotiation and operates at 10 Mbps full duplex, then you can only configure the module’s port to the correct settings using the Network Management Module. The 100BASE-FX port can be connected to a remote site with up to 2 km (1.24 mi.) of fiber cable in full-duplex mode or up to 412 m (1,351.4 ft.) in half-duplex mode. The operating mode can be set manually using the Full/Half toggle switch on the front of the module. Note that this module operates only at 100 Mbps. 1-10 ABOUT THE HUBS The BNC and AUI ports allow connection to legacy 10 Mbps network segments. The BNC port connects to 10BASE2 thin coax. The AUI port can be connected to 10BASE5 thick coax or 10 Mbps fiber via an appropriate transceiver. The active port is selected by the toggle switch on the front of the module. Extender Module LEDs LEDs Condition Status Full/Half On Port is set at full duplex. Collision Flashing Two or more devices attempted to transmit data at the same time. Activity Flashing Port is transmitting or receiving data. The rate of flashing is proportional to the amount of network traffic. Link On A valid link has been established on this port. 100M On Port is operating at 100Mbps (10BASE-T /100BASE-TX module only). 1-11 ABOUT THE HUBS Stacking Connectors The stacking connectors are located on the rear panel of each hub. Figure 1-8. Stacking Connectors One connector is labeled “Out” and the other, “In.” A Stacking Cable is shipped with each hub. 1-12 ABOUT THE HUBS Optional Redundant Power Unit (RPU) An RPU can supply power to the switch in the event of a failure of the internal power supply. Contact your reseller for advice regarding the appropriate SMC RPU for your specific application. Power Supply Receptacles There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of each hub. The standard power receptacle is for the AC power cord. The 14-pin receptacle labeled “DC Input” is for the optional Redundant Power Unit (RPU). Figure 1-9.

The Internal Switch Module, included in the Base Hubs, interconnects the two segments to form a single LAN with an aggregate bandwidth of 110 Mbps. Note that for the Base Hub models, a Network Management Module can be added at a later date. Figure 2-1. Hub in a Standalone Configuration 2-2 NETWORK PLANNING Stacking the Hubs Up to six hubs may be stacked, as shown below, to create a logical hub with up to 144 ports. The stack requires only one Base Hub (or Expansion hub with an optional Extender Switch Module installed) and may include two optional Network Management Modules. Figure 2-2. Stack of Six Hubs Supporting 144 Ports 2-3 NETWORK PLANNING Extending the Stack Since the TigerStack II 10/100 is a Class II hub, it may be cascaded to a single Fast Ethernet hub or to a dual-speed hub. It may also be cascaded to multiple Ethernet hubs as long as the SMC 5-4-3 Rule is observed (see “Connectivity Rules” at the end of this chapter). Figure 2-3. Extending a Stack to Other Hubs 2-4 NETWORK PLANNING Adding Extender Modules to the stack increases both the reach and bandwidth of the network. In Figure 2-4, the same two stacks are joined by a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Extender Module, instead of being cascaded via front-panel ports, increasing the aggregate bandwidth. A second 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Extender Module is used to provide a dedicated 200 Mbps connection to a server in full-duplex mode. Figure 2-4. Using 10/100 Extender Modules 2-5 NETWORK PLANNING The 100BASE-FX Extender Module is used for long distance connections, as shown below. Figure 2-5.

Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. u The site should: • be able to maintain its temperature within 0° to 50° C and its humidity within 0% to 90%, non-condensing • provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow • be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices • allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible u u 3-2 Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios, transmitters, etc. Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 8 feet (2.44 m) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. INSTALLING THE STACK Equipment Checklist After unpacking the TigerStack II 10/100 products, check the contents of each box against the included packing list to be sure you’ve received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all the necessary equipment. Hub Packing List u u u u u u u TigerStack II 10/100 hub Four adhesive feet Bracket Mounting Kit containing two brackets and four screws for attaching the brackets to the hub Stacking Cable Power Cord—either US, Continental Europe or UK This User Guide SMC Warranty Registration Card—be sure to complete and return to SMC Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment If you plan to rack-mount the hubs, be sure to have the following equipment available: u u Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these are not included A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on type of screws used) 3-3 INSTALLING THE STACK Mounting A TigerStack II 10/100 unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Before mounting the devices, be sure to install any optional modules, as follows. Installing Optional Hub Modules: If you have purchased Network Management Modules and/or slide-in 100BASE-FX or -TX Extender Modules, install the modules now, as needed, following the instructions included with each package. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the TigerStack II 10/100 devices, pay particular attention to the following factors: u u u u 3-4 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 unit. 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. INSTALLING THE STACK To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Figure 3-1. Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 3-2. Installing the Hub in a Rack 3-5 INSTALLING THE STACK 3. If installing a single hub only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple hubs, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. 5. If also installing RPUs, mount them in the rack below the other devices. Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first hub. Figure 3-3. Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. 3. If installing a single hub only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple hubs, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order. 5. If also installing RPUs, place them close to the stack. 3-6 INSTALLING THE STACK Stacking A stack may have as many as six hubs. Note: Be sure to have one stacking cable for each device you plan to stack. A stacking cable is included with each hub. Caution: DO-NOT stack SMC’s 10 Mbps TigerStack hubs with SMC’s TigerStack II 10/100 hubs. If you attempt to do so, the hubs will be damaged. To stack the devices: 1. Locate the SCSI connectors labeled “IN” and “OUT” on the rear of each device (see Figure 3-4). 2. Attach one end of the stacking cable to the SCSI connector labeled “OUT” on the top device, and the other end to the connector labeled “IN” on the next lower device. 3. Repeat this step until all the devices have been connected. 4. Turn to the next section, “Connecting to a Power Source.” Figure 3-4. Stacking the Hubs 3-7 INSTALLING THE STACK Connecting to a Power Source Note: It is recommended that the hubs be stacked before being connected to a power source. However, a device can be added to the top or bottom of a stack that is on and operating without first powering down the stack. Be sure to stack the new device before connecting it to a power source. To connect each device to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located at the back of the device. Figure 3-5. Power Receptacle 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country. 3. Check the front-panel LEDs as each device is powered on. On the hub, the following LEDs should light: u u Power LED—green Switch LED (if a Switch Module is installed)—green On one Network Management Module, the following LED should light: u 3-8 Master LED—green INSTALLING THE STACK 4. If you have purchased Redundant Power Units, connect them to the other devices and to an AC power source now, following the instructions included with the package. 3-9 INSTALLING THE STACK 3-10 CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-2 Twisted-Pair Devices . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-2 Cabling Guidelines . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-2 Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-3 Wiring Closet Connections . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-4 100BASE-FX Devices . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-5 10BASE2 and AUI Connections . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-6 4-1 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerStack II 10/100 hubs may be connected to 10 and 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switches and routers. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100BASE-TX connections, Category 5 cable is required; for 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 cable can be used. Cabling Guidelines Every twisted-pair connection must have a wiring crossover to transmit and receive data. For convenience, this crossover is built into all ports that are labeled with an “x”—these are fixed crossover ports. Since network cards do not have a built-in wiring crossover, PCs can be connected to these ports with straight-through cable. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX hubs and switches, on the other hand, may have either crossover or straight-through ports. For this reason, ports 12 or 24 on the TigerStack II 10/100 hubs are not labeled with an “x”—these are switch-selectable crossover ports. The associated Crossover switches (see Figure 4-1) are used to enable and disable the wiring crossover on these ports. This way, hubs and switches can always be connected to the TigerStack hubs with straight-through cable. Alternatively, you can connect from any crossover port on a TigerStack hub to a straight-through port on another device. You may also connect to crossover ports at both ends if you use a crossover cable. See the following table and Appendix B for further information. 4-2 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Crossover/Straight-Through Wiring Requirements If the port on the hub is... Crossover (x) Crossover (x) Straight-through (=) Straight-through (=) And the port on the other device is... Crossover Straight-through Crossover Straight-through Then use...cable Crossover Straight-through Straight-through Crossover Figure 4-1. Crossover Switch on the 24-Port Hub Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. Figure 4-2. Making Twisted-Pair Connections 4-3 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 2. If the device is a network card and the TigerStack II 10/100 is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet (see “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page). Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the hub. 3. If the device is a hub or switch, attach the other end to the appropriate port on the hub (port 12 or 24). Wiring Closet Connections Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows. 1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the hub, and the other end to the patch panel. 2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet. 3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting. 4-4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Figure 4-3. Wiring Closet Connections 100BASE-FX Devices If a slide-in 100BASE-FX module is present, its fiber port may be used for backbone and longer distance connections. Each 100BASE-FX device requires 62.5/125 or 50/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC or ST connector at both ends. For ST fiber ports, be sure to connect the Tx (Rx) connector on the slide-in module to the Rx (Tx) connector on the other device. For SC fiber ports, connect one end of the cable to the SC connector on the slide-in module and the other end to the SC connector on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached to the two devices in only one manner. 4-5 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 10BASE2 and AUI Connections If the slide-in BNC/AUI Extender Switch Module is present, then there are options for connecting to legacy 10 Mbps segments. The toggle switch on the module’s front panel selects either the BNC or AUI port. The BNC connector provides a connection to 10BASE2 thin coax. Attach the BNC T-connector to the BNC port, then connect one side of the T-connector to a length of thin coax cable. The other side of the T-connector should be connected to another length of thin coax or a 50-ohm BNC terminator. A thin coax segment can be up to 185 meters (607 feet) in length and support up to 30 devices. Devices must be a minimum of 0.5 meters (2 feet) apart and the segment must be terminated at both ends by a 50-ohm BNC terminator. The AUI port can support connections to 10BASE5 thick coax, 10 Mbps fiber, or other 10 Mbps media via an appropriate transceiver. Attach one end of a drop cable, maximum length 50 meters (165 feet), to the AUI port and the other end to the transceiver. 4-6 APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting LED Indicators . . . . . . . . . . .

A-3 A-1 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting LED Indicators Troubleshooting Chart A-2 Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Check the connections between the hub, the power cord and the wall outlet. • Check the power outlet by using it for another device. • If the hub is installed in a rack, check the connections to the punch-down block and patch panel. • Contact SMC Tech Support. Power LED is Red • Internal or redundant power supply has failed or is disconnected. Link/Activity LED is Off • Check that the hub and attached device are both powered on. • Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices. • Verify that Category 5 cable is used for 100 Mbps connections and that the length of any cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). • Check the network card and cable connections for defects. • Replace the defective card or cable if necessary. TROUBLESHOOTING Power and Cooling Problems If the Power LED does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet or power cord as explained in the troubleshooting chart. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the side of the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact your SMC dealer or reseller for assistance.

Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation (See “Twisted-Pair Cabling Guidelines” in Chapter 4 for an explanation.) Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins. Figure B-1.
