Getting to Know the ES-3124PWR
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the ES-3124PWR.
The ES-3124PWR is a stand-alone layer 2 Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two RJ-45 Gigabit (1Gbps or
1000Mbps)/mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) combo ports for uplink, two RJ-45 Gigabit ports for stacking
and a console port and a management port for local management. A combo port contains one Gigabit port and one
slot for mini-GBIC transceiver (SPF module).
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to port-
level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click
your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the
console port, or third-party SNMP management.
1.1 Features
The next two sections describe the hardware and firmware features of the ES-3124PWR.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
Power
The ES-3124PWR requires 100~240VAC/10A power.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
The switch can provide power to a device (that supports PoE) such as an access point or a switch through a
10/100Mbps Ethernet port.
24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports
Connect up to 24 computers or switches to the 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating, automatic cable sensing (auto-MDIX)
Ethernet RJ-45 ports. All Ethernet ports support:
¾ IEEE 802.3/3u/3z/3ab standards
¾ Back pressure flow control in half duplex mode
¾ IEEE 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode
Two Gigabit Ethernet Ports for Uplink Modules
The gigabit ports allow the ES-3124PWR to connect to another WAN switch or daisy-chain to other switches.
Two Slots for Mini-GBIC Modules
The mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) module transceivers allow flexibility in connection options. You can
use mini-GBIC transceivers for fiber connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
