Compliances and Safety Warnings

FCC - Class A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for RJ-45 connections - Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. For fiber optic connections, you may use 50/125 or 62.5/ 125 micron multimode fiber or 9/125 micron single-mode fiber.

Industry Canada - Class A

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe A prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par le ministère des Communications.

SMC8126L2 specifications

The SMC8126L2 is a robust Layer 2 managed switch developed by SMC Networks, designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments. This switch is part of the SMC's lineup of network solutions, emphasizing reliability, efficiency, and advanced functionalities suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises.

One of the standout features of the SMC8126L2 is its support for 26 ports, which allow multiple devices to connect seamlessly. This includes 24 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) and 2 gigabit uplink ports. This configuration enables flexible network designs and enhances the bandwidth availability for devices that require faster data transmission.

The SMC8126L2 is equipped with various Layer 2 switching capabilities, including port-based Virtual LAN (VLAN) support, allowing businesses to segment their networks for better security and performance. This capability ensures that sensitive data remains isolated and reduces broadcast traffic across the entire network. The switch also supports 802.1Q tagging for VLAN configuration, facilitating the management of multiple VLANs simultaneously.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another significant aspect of the SMC8126L2. It employs intelligent traffic management features, prioritizing critical applications such as VoIP and video conferencing. This ensures that time-sensitive data packets are transmitted efficiently, minimizing latency and improving overall user experience. The switch supports multiple QoS mechanisms, such as 802.1p priority tagging and port-based scheduling, thus accommodating varied networking needs.

Security features are paramount in the SMC8126L2, with network access control through Port Security and MAC address filtering. This prevents unauthorized access and enhances the security posture of the network. Additionally, the switch supports IGMP Snooping, which conserves bandwidth by ensuring that multicast traffic is only sent to ports that require it.

Another remarkable aspect of the SMC8126L2 is its management capabilities. The switch can be managed through various methods, including web-based interfaces, command-line interfaces (CLI), and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This flexibility allows network administrators to monitor performance, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues effectively.

In summary, the SMC8126L2 brings a suite of advanced features and technologies that cater to the evolving requirements of networking. With its extensive port options, VLAN support, QoS capabilities, robust security measures, and versatile management interfaces, the SMC8126L2 stands out as a reliable choice for organizations looking to enhance their networking infrastructure. Its performance and reliability make it well-suited for addressing the challenges of modern network environments while ensuring efficient data flow and security.
