Automation representative for assistance.
The switch is shipped with these items.
• Stratix 8000 Ethernet Managed Switches Installation Instructions,
publication 1783-IN005
.
• Two power and relay connectors
• RJ45 to DB-9 console port adapter cable
• CompactFlash card
If you want to connect a terminal to the switch console port, you need to
provide an RJ45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. For multimode (MM)
connections, you can connect a 100BASE-FX port to a port on a target device
by using dual-LC connector.
The switch expansion modules are optional, and do not ship with the switch.
You need to order these separately.
Add Modules to the Switch
The switches can operate as standalone devices with four or eight Fast
Ethernet ports, respectively. To increase the number of Fast Ethernet ports by
8 or 16, you can connect the optional expansion modules. Depending on the
mix of switches and expansion modules, you can have up to 24 Fast Ethernet
ports. The expansion modules cannot operate as standalone devices.
Expansion Module Configurations
To increase the number of ports, add one or two expansion modules to the
switch. If you are installing only one module, it can be either an 1783-MX08T
copper expansion module, or a 1783-MX08F fiber expansion module. If you
are installing two modules, the first must be an 1783-MX08T copper
expansion module, and the second can be either an 1783-MX08T copper
expansion module, or a 1783-MX08F fiber expansion module. You cannot add
two 1783-MX08F fiber expansion modules.
IMPORTANT
To connect the switch functional ground, you need a ring terminal lug
(such as Thomas & Bett part number 10RCR or equivalent).
