The bottom LED indicates LINK status, and the top LED indicates ACTIVITY.
APPLYING POWER (Side View) Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the Power Input Header Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity). Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the Power Input Header. Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.5 Nm/0.368 Pound Foot. Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN). Note: Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal operation.
N-TRON SWITCH GROUNDING TECHNIQUES The grounding philosophy of any control system is an integral part of the design. N-Tron switches are designed to be grounded, but the user has been given the flexibility to float the switch when required. The best noise immunity and emissions (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded.
CAT5 CABLE SPECIFICATIONS Please reference the illustration below for your Cat5 cable specifications: (Revised 2010-7-2) page 17 of 145
CONNECTING THE UNIT For FX/FXE units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. The TX port on the FX/FXE models should be connected to the RX port of the far end station. The RX port on the FX/FXE versions should be connected to the TX port of the far end station. For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end to the far end station.
Serial Cable Connect the serial COM port of your PC and the 9000 Series Switch using a standard straight through cable. You will require a cable with a 9-pin or 25-pin sub-D female connector for the PC end, and a 9-pin male sub-D connector for the 9000 Series end.
Overview of Advanced Features Mode of Operation Each port on the switch can be configured into different modes of operation as shown below: Copper Ports: 100Base Fiber Ports: 1000Base Fiber Ports: - Half Duplex - Full Duplex - Full Duplex - Full Duplex - Auto Negotiation Half Duplex In half duplex mode, the CSMA/CD media access method is the means by which two or more stations share a common transmission medium.
Virtual LAN The switch provides support for setting up both tagged Virtual LANs and port based Virtual LANs. A port may belong to any number of Virtual LANs. The VLAN membership of a station is determined by the VLAN(s) that have been defined for the port to which the station is connected. If a station should move from one port to another, it loses its current VLAN membership and inherits that of the new port it is connected to.
IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping is enabled by default, and the switch is Plug and Play for IGMP. IGMP snooping provides intelligent network support for multicast applications. In particular, unneeded traffic is reduced. IGMP Snooping is configured via the console and if enabled, then operates dynamically upon each power up. Also, there can be manual only or manual and dynamic operation. Note that “static multicast group address” can be used whether IGMP Snooping is enabled or not.
TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Make sure the (Power LED) is ON. 2. Make sure you are supplying sufficient current for the version chosen. Note: The Inrush current will exceed the steady state current by ~ 2X. 3. Verify that Link LED‟s are ON for connected ports. 4. Verify cabling used between stations. 5. Verify that cabling is Category 5E or greater for 100Mbit Operation.

This can be used to statically assign a MAC address access to a single port on the switch. Following the Add button on the page above, the administrator must enter a valid MAC address and associate it with a port number on the switch. Once the administrator hits the Update button the changes will take effect instantly.
Bridging – Unicast Addresses, Continued… Following the Delete button on the page above, an administrator can select a static MAC address from the list using a pull-down menu. After selecting the MAC address the administrator needs to press the Delete button on this page to remove the entry .
Bridging – Multicast Addresses The Multicast Addresses tab under the Bridging category will display a list of Multicast Group Addresses that are associated with respective port numbers. This may be used to statically assign a Multicast Group Address access to a group of ports on the switch. These are egress filters. Following the Add button on the page above, the administrator must enter a valid Multicast Group Address and associate it with a port number or list on the switch.
Bridging – Multicast Addresses, Continued… After adding a Multicast Group Address it will appear on the main list and will show the associated ports that go along with that address. Following the Delete button on the page above, the administrator will be presented with a list of Multicast Group Addresses that are configured on the switch. Using the pull-down menu the administrator should select the desired port to be removed. Then click on the Delete button at the bottom of the page.
RSTP – RSTP Configuration The RSTP Configuration tab under the RSTP category will display the RSTP information for the first VLAN. Using the pull-down menu at the top of the page an administrator can choose which VLAN to configure RSTP on. Once the VLAN is selected the administrator may configure the bridge by clicking on the Configuration button in the middle of the page. The configuration screen for the VLAN that was previously selected will look like the example below.
RSTP – RSTP Configuration, Continued… It is valid to have RSTP rings linked to non-N-Ring ports of active N-Ring Members, as above. As marked above, it is not valid to expect RSTP to block redundant N-Ring links nor for N-Ring to block redundant RSTP links.
RSTP – RSTP Configuration, Continued… Following the link for the view RSTP Port Configuration at VLAN# the administrator or user can see the current RSTP status of the ports on that VLAN. This will show information such as the Path Cost and the Port State. If the switch sees a redundant path it will put the port with the highest Path Cost into Blocking mode where it will discard packets coming in on that port.
RSTP – RSTP Configuration, Continued… If the administrator selects one of the ports on the previous screen he or she can change the Port‟s Path Cost, Port‟s Priority and the status of Admin Edge and Auto Edge.
IGMP – Configuration The Configuration tab under the IGMP category will display the IGMP basic configuration settings. By default IGMP is enabled.

Update Pause Print... 12 Active Members Detected In Current N-Ring (12 reporting) Switch No MAC Address (Revised 2010-7-2) IP Address Subnet Mask Name Ports RM 00:07:af:ff:e4:a0 192.168.1.227 255.255.255.0 N-TRON Switch A2 A1 1 00:07:af:ff:ef:60 192.168.1.224 255.255.255.
Below is an example of N-Ring Status from an N-Ring Manager with a faulted N-Ring. The red fields on the N-Ring Map show problems. Ports that are red indicate that the port is not linked. MAC addresses that are red indicate that there is no communication to that switch. The red “Ring Broken” line shows where the N-Ring is broken. N-Ring Fault N-Ring Status View Switch is an N-Ring Manager, using N-Ring Aging Time = 20 Seconds Refresh every 6 secs. Update Pause Print...
In rare cases an N-Ring can have a “Partial Fault”. An example of this is to have a break in just one fiber in a duplex channel fiber pair. The screenshot below shows N-Ring Manager Status when a „Higher‟ N-Ring Port (A2 or E2) is not receiving self health frames all the way around the N-Ring, though the other (low A1/E1) N-Ring port is: N-Ring Partial Fault (A2 is not receiving self health from A1) N-Ring Status View Switch is an N-Ring Manager, using N-Ring Aging Time = 20 seconds Refresh every 6 secs.
NView – Configuration The Configuration tab under the NView category will display two basic variables for NView, the status and the interval between packets. Following the Modify button on the above example, the administrator can modify the variable to change the frequency with which NView reports information. Increasing the interval will slow the update rate. Decreasing the interval will allow NView to report more frequently. Additionally, you may Disable or Enable NView altogether.
NView – Ports The Ports tab under the NView category will display a list of all the configured ports on the 9000 unit along with the ports transmitting multicast packets and MIB stats respectively.
NView – Ports, Continued… Following the Modify button on the previous example, the administrator can modify these two variables to enable or disable multicast out of the port and if MIB stats are sent out for those ports.
EventLog – Log Statistics The Log Statistics tab under the EventLog category will show a list of how many times a type of event took place. On the bottom of the page it should also list the maximum log size which can be modified. There are 5 types of events that the 9000 will categorize messages in. If the log level is set to 1, the 9000 will log all 5 types of events. If the log level is set to 5 it will only record the Critical types (the 5 th level).
EventLog – Show Events The Show Events tab under the EventLog category will show a list of events that have occurred in the order in which they occurred. There is a time stamp for each event and they are categorized by the severity of the event.
Firmware/Config – TFTP The TFTP tab under the Firmware/Config category gives the administrator the ability to upload or download a config file for a 9000 Series switch. This gives administrators the ability to backup their configurations to a server offsite in case they need to reload their custom configurations at a later time.
