2.5 Mounting The EKI-2548I supports two mounting methods: DIN-rail & Wall mountings. 2.5.1 Wall Mounting EKI-2548I can be wall-mounted by using the included mounting kit. Then, hang on the EKI-2548I to the nails on the wall. First, use the screws included in the package to combine the EKI-2548I and metal mounting kit. And then you can install the device firmly via the components, please see Figure 2.5 as below. Figure 2.
2.5.2 DIN-rail Mounting You can also mount EKI-2548I on a standard DIN-rail by following the steps below. The DIN-rail kit is screwed on the industrial switch when out of factory. If the DIN-rail kit is not screwed on the industrial switch, please screw the DIN-rail kit on the switch first. First, hang the EKI-2548I to the DIN-rail with angle of inclination. See the figure below. Figure 2.
Then, hook the device over the DIN rail and let it drop down straight to slide over the rail smoothly. Figure 2.
2.6 Wiring Power and P-Fail Contacts The EKI-2548I supports dual +12 ~ 48 VDC and 24 VAC power inputs, and P-Fail relay output. Terminal Block Front View for P-Fail Alarm Contacts 24Vdc, 1A Resistance P-Fail Alarm Application Example Figure 2.6-1 Pin Assignments of the Terminal Block You can connect an alarm indicator, buzzer or other signaling equipment through the relay output.
2.7 X-Ring Application The industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network system recover from network connection failure within 300ms or less and make the network system more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid STP (RSTP) algorithm but its recovery time is less than STP/RSTP. The figure below is a sample of X-Ring application. Note The Ethernet switches with firmware version before v3.
2.8 Coupling Ring Application As the illustration shown below, users can use the X-Ring groups to form a coupling ring for redundant backup. It can ensure the transmissions between X-Ring groups not to fail. The following figure is a sample of coupling ring application. Note The Ethernet switches with firmware version before v3.0 use the X-Ring function that has the limitations as follows. However, the ones with firmware version after v3.
2.9 Dual Homing Application The Dual Homing function is to prevent the connection loss between the particular X-Ring group and the upper level/core switch. Assign one port, and only one, to be the Dual Homing port that is the backup port in each single X-Ring group. The Dual Homing function only works when the X-Ring function is active. Note The Ethernet switches with firmware version before v3.0 use the X-Ring function that has the limitations as follows. However, the ones with firmware version after v3.

The port can be set to Disable or Enable mode. When disabled, it will not receive or transmit any packet. • Negotiation: Auto and Force. Being set to Auto, the speed and duplex mode are negotiated automatically.
Port Mirroring The Port mirroring is a method to monitor traffic in switched networks. Traffic through ports can be monitored by one specific port. That is, traffic goes in or out monitored ports will be duplicated into the mirroring port. • Port Mirroring Mode: Set mirroring mode -- Disable, TX Only, and Both. The default value is “Disable”. • Analysis Port: Select one port to be the mirroring port to see all monitored port traffic. Users can connect the mirroring port to LAN analyzer or Netxray.
Rate Control Here you can set up every port’s packet limitation type and bandwidth rate. • Limit Packet Type: Select the packet type you want to filter. The packet types have 4 options for selecting: All, Broadcast/Multicast/Unknown Unicast, Broadcast/Multicast, and Broadcast only. The four packet type options are for ingress frames limitation. The egress rate only supports ‘All’ type.
3.1.3 Protocol The user can configure the layer 2 protocol setting via this interface. VLAN configuration A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the others of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN on the switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored.
Figure 3.1-22 Port-based Mode--Add • Enter Group Name and VLAN ID. Having selected the port numbers, click Add to add the ports to the right field to group these members into a VLAN group or remove any of them listed in the right field from the VLAN. • And then, click Apply to have the settings take effect. • You will see the VLAN displays. Figure 3.1-23 Port-based Edit/Delete • Select the VLAN group name and click Delete to delete the VLAN.

802.1Q VLAN Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers. You can create a Tag-based VLAN, and enable/disable the GVRP protocol. Up to 256 VLAN groups are provided for configuring. With 802.
Add Add an 802.1Q-based VLAN group. • Group Name: Specify the group name for the VLAN. • VLAN ID: Please enter the VLAN ID in the range of 2 to 4094. • Select ports and click the Add button to add them to the right field. • Click Next . • Click the pull-down menu to select Tag/Untag for each VLAN member. Setting the port to Tag means that the outgoing frames are tagged with VLAN ID. While setting the port to Untag means that the outgoing frames are not tagged with VLAN ID.

Rapid Spanning Tree The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. The system also supports STP and the system will auto-detect the connected device that is running STP or RSTP protocol. RSTP - System Configuration • The user can view spanning tree information of the Root Bridge. • The user can modify RSTP state. After modification, click Apply button.
RSTP - Port Configuration Here you can configure the path cost and priority of each port. • Select the port in the port column field. • Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified port. Enter a number between 1 and 200,000,000. • Priority: Decide which port should be blocked by priority in LAN. Enter a number between 0 and 240 (the port of the highest value will be blocked). The value of priority must be the multiple of 16.
SNMP Configuration Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.
• Click Add . • To remove the community string, select the community string listed in the current managers field and click Remove .
QoS Configuration Here you can configure Qos policy and priority setting, port priority setting, COS and TOS setting. QoS Policy • Qos Policy: Select the QoS policy rule. ¾ Use an 8,4,2,1 weighted fair queuing scheme: The switch will follow 8:4:2:1 rate to process priority queue from High to lowest queue.
Figure 3.
IGMP Configuration The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP have three fundamental types of message shown as follows: Table 3.
X-Ring X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same. In the X-Ring topology, each switch should be enabled with the X-Ring function and two ports of each switch should be configured as the member ports in the ring.
Note To enable the X-Ring function, users must disable the RSTP first. The X-Ring function and RSTP function cannot both be activated on a single switch. Remember to click the Save button of the Save Configuration page, otherwise the new configuration will lose when switch powers off.
3.1.4 Configuration Backup This interface allows users to back up the current configuration on the switch to the TFTP server.
