C HAPT ER 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.1 Overview This User’s Guide covers the following models: ES1100-8P, ES1100-16, ES1100-16P, ES1100-24, ES1100-24E, and ES1100-24G. The Switch can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch Figure 1 Front Panel ES1100-8P ES1100-16 ES1100-16P ES1100-24 ES1100-24E ES1100-24G The Switch has a built-in algorithm that automatically assigns priority to received packets. 1.2 Features The following are the essential features of the Switch. • Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards. • Conforms to IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3z standards (only ES1100-24G). • ES1100-8P and ES1100-16P support IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch • Auto-sensing crossover for all RJ-45 ports. • Supports N-Way protocol for speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (Half/Full) autodetection. • Supports store-and-forward switching. • Supports automatic address learning. • Full wire speed forwarding rate. • 802.1p CoS support. • Link-on cable length power saving and link-down power saving. • Supports IEEE 802.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch The following figure depicts a typical segment bridge application of the Switch in an enterprise environment. The two networks (RD and Sales), the standalone server and the computers can all communicate with each other and share all network resources. Figure 3 Bridging Example 1.4 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) The PoE function is available for ES1100-8P and ES1100-16P only. ES1100-8P and ES1100-16P has FE PoE ports and supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).
C HAPT ER 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.1 Rear Panel The three-pronged power receptacle is located on the rear panel of the Switch. Refer to the power supply requirements on the panel.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.1.1 Rear Panel Power Connection Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the Switch and the other end to the appropriate power source. For ES1100-8P, ES1100-16, ES1100-16P and ES1100-24E, use the POWER ON/OFF switch to have the Switch power on or off. 2.2 Front Panel The front panel of the Switch includes the auto-negotiating 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX RJ-45 ports and the LEDs.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.2.3 Front Panel Connections You can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet cables for RJ-45 ports. The following table describes the types of network cable used for the different connection speeds. Table 2 Network Cable Types SPEED NETWORK CABLE TYPE 10 Mbps Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP 100 Mbps Category 5 UTP/STP 1000 Mbps Category 5e UTP/STP You can use either crossover or straight-through cables for all the ports.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection Figure 7 LEDs for ES1100-8P/16P ES1100-8P ES1100-16P The following table describes the LEDs. Table 4 LED Descriptions for ES1100-8P/16P LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION PWR Green On The Switch is on and receiving power. Off The Switch is not receiving power. LINK/ACT PoE Green Green On The port is connected to an Ethernet network at 10M or 100M speed. Off The port is not connected to an Ethernet network.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection Table 5 LED Descriptions for ES1100-24G (continued) LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION LINK/ACT (Gigabit Ethernet) Green On 1000: The 1000Base-T Ethernet port is connected to an Ethernet network at 1000M speed. LINK/ACT (Mini-GBIC) 100: The 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port is connected to an Ethernet network at 10M or 100M speed. Green Blinking The port is receiving or transmitting data. Off The port is not connected to an Ethernet network.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection See Table 7 on page 14 for how far apart to place the screws. Table 7 Distance between the centers of the holes for wall mounting 1 MODEL DISTANCE ES1100-8P and ES1100-16P 198 mm ES1100-16 150 mm ES1100-24E 210 mm Screw the two screws provided with your Switch into the wall (see the figure in step 2). Use screws with 6 mm ~ 8 mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection • Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver. • Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver. Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit. Precautions • Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains. • Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.3.3 Mounting the Switch on a Rack 1 Position a mounting bracket (that is already attached to the Switch) on one side of the rack, lining up the two screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the rack. Figure 11 Mounting the Switch on a Rack (ES1100-8P/16/16P/24E) Figure 12 Mounting the Switch on a Rack (ES1100-24/24G) 16 2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M5 flat head screws through the mounting bracket holes into the rack.
C HAPT ER 3 Troubleshooting This section describes common problems you may encounter with the Switch and possible solutions. Troubleshoot the Switch using the LEDs to detect problems. The PWR LED on the front panel does not light up. • Check the connections from your Switch to the power source. Make sure you are using the supplied power cord and that you are using an appropriate power source. Refer to the product specifications.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 3.1 Improper Network Cabling and Topology Improper network cabling or topology setup is a common cause of poor network performance or even network failure. Figure 13 Troubleshooting Improper Network Cabling and Topology PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION Faulty cables Using faulty network cables may affect data rates and have an impact on your network performance. Replace with new standard network cables.
