Connect the Ethernet Ports
You can use the following information to connect standard Ethernet cables between the ES8510-XTE
Ethernet ports and the network nodes.
•
Ports 1-7 are Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) ports.
•
Ports 8-10 are RJ45/SFP Combo ports that support (10/100BASE-TX / 100BASE-FX)
.
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 8-10)
on Page 12 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.
•
10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
•
100BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 8-10)
The ES8510-XTE equips three SFP ports
combined with RJ45 Fast Ethernet ports (Ports
8-10), The SFP ports accept standard mini GBIC
SFP transceivers. that support 100BASE-FX.
To ensure system reliability, Comtrol
recommends using
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.
Note: This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare at the Laser/LED Beam.
The SFP port does not function until the fiber cable is linked to another active device. The SFP and
corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode. Traffic sent or received through the SFP module has
priority thus no traffic is sent or received over the corresponding RJ45 connection. To use the RJ45
connection, remove the corresponding SFP.
Multi-Mode cables should not exceed 2KM and Single-Mode cables should not exceed 30km.
