Hardware Installation
Connect the Ethernet Ports
You can use the following information to connect standard Ethernet cables between the ES8509-XT Ethernet
ports and the network nodes.
•
Ports 1-5 are RJ45/SFP Combo Gigabit ports that support (10/100/1000BASE-TX / 100BASE-FX,
1000BASE-X)
.
•
Ports 6-9 are Gigabit ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-TX.
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 1-5)
on Page 13 for information about SFP installation.
All of the Ethernet ports automatically detect the signal from the connected devices to negotiate the link
speed and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex). Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or
workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the
transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.
Connect one side of an Ethernet cable into any switch port and connect the other side to your attached device.
The LNK/ACT LED is lit when the cable is correctly connected. Always make sure that the cables between
the switches and attached devices (for example, switch, hub, or workstation) are less than 100 meters (328
feet) and meet these requirements.
•
10/100BASE-TX: Category, 5 cable
•
1000BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 1-5)
The ES8509-XT equips five SFP ports combined
with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (Ports 1-5).
The SFP ports accept standard mini GBIC SFP
transceivers that support 100BASE-FX/
1000BASE-X.
1.
Plug the SFP transceiver into the SFP fiber
transceiver.
2.
Connect the transmit channel to the receive
channel at each end.
3.
Check the direction/angle of the fiber
transceiver and the fiber cable.
