Introduction
The ES8510 and the ES8510-XT are managed industrial Ethernet switches that are equipped with seven 10/
100BASE-TX ports and three Combo ports.
The three Gigabit Combo ports provide:
•
Copper RJ45 Ethernet ports (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-TX)
•
SFP slots (100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX)
When an SFP port is active and installed on a Combo port, the corresponding Combo RJ45 port is inactivated.
For example, if an SFP transceiver is installed and active on 8SFP port, Combo RJ45 Port 8 becomes inactive.
The embedded software supports full Layer 2 networking features. In addition, ES8510 provides ring
redundancy, network control, security, and alert features. The ES8510 also supports an RS-232 console
interface for out of band management. The ES8510 has a rugged aluminum housing and was designed for
industrial environments. The ES8510 provides a wide operating temperature and the ES8510-XT is NEMA
TS2 certified and provides an extended operating temperature.
The ES8510 is managed by Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON).
Security is enhanced with advanced features such as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and port/IP security. Performance is
optimized by QoS and IGMP Snooping/Query. Redundant Ring technology enables superb self-healing
capability for network failure and it also provides an advanced redundant network solution; Ring Coupling
and Rapid Dual Homing technology. Ring Coupling and Rapid Dual Homing technology means that an
Ethernet Ring can be extended more easily whether with Comtrol switches or other managed switches.
Event warnings can be sent to the network administrator by email or system log and to field engineers by
relay output.
This guide refers to the ES8510 unless there is something specific to the ES8510-XT.
