P ART I Introduction, Hardware Installation and Troubleshooting This part contains the following: Getting to Know Your Switch (15) Hardware Installation and Connection (17) Hardware Overview (21) Troubleshooting (25) 13
CHAPTER 1 Getting to Know Your Switch This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the switch. 1.1 Introduction The ES-1124 is an Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports and 2 GbE dual personality interfaces for uplink. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit port and one slot for a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time. See Appendix A on page 29 for a full list of features available on the switch. 1.1.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.
CHAPTER 2 Hardware Installation and Connection This chapter shows you how to install and connect the switch. 2.1 Freestanding Installation 1 Make sure the switch is clean and dry. 2 Set the switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the switch and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby. 3 Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection " Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when stacking. For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations. 2.2 Mounting the Switch on a Rack This section lists the rack mounting requirements and precautions and describes the installation steps. 2.2.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second mounting bracket on the other side of the switch. 4 You may now mount the switch on a rack. Proceed to the next section. 2.2.3 Mounting the Switch on a Rack 1 Position a mounting bracket (that is already attached to the switch) on one side of the rack, lining up the two screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the rack.

CHAPTER 3 Hardware Overview This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the switch and shows you how to make the hardware connections. 3.1 Panel Connections The figure below shows the front panel of the switch. Figure 6 Front Panel LEDs 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Ports RJ-45 Gigabit / Mini-GBIC Dual Personality Interfaces The following table describes the ports on the panels.
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (100/ 1000Mpbs) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable. 3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Settings The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the switch are: • Speed: Auto • Duplex: Auto • Flow control: Off 3.1.
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview Figure 7 Transceiver Installation Example 2 Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place. 3 The switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning properly. Figure 8 Installed Transceiver 3.1.3.2 Transceiver Removal Use the following steps to remove a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module). 1 Open the transceiver’s latch (latch styles vary).
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview 3.2 Rear Panel The following figure shows the rear panel of the switche. Figure 11 Rear Panel 3.2.1 Power Connector Make sure you are using the correct power source as shown on the panel. To connect the power to the ES-1124 AC unit, insert the female end of power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the supplied power cord to a 100~240V AC, 1.5A power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans. 3.
CHAPTER 4 Troubleshooting This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter. V The switch does not turn on. None of the LEDs turn on. 1 Make sure you are using the power adaptor or cord included with the switch. 2 Make sure the power adaptor or cord is connected to the switch and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power source is turned on. 3 Turn the switch off and on. 4 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the switch.

APPENDIX B IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts. Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
Appendix B IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 12 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation). The term “subnet” is short for “subnetwork”. A subnet mask has 32 bits.
Appendix B IP Addresses and Subnetting Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks. Table 6 Subnet Masks BINARY DECIMAL 1ST OCTET 2ND OCTET 3RD OCTET 4TH OCTET 8-bit mask 11111111 00000000 00000000 00000000 255.0.0.0 16-bit mask 11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000 255.255.0.0 24-bit mask 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 255.255.255.

Appendix B IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 14 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 27 – 2 or 126 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet’s address itself, all ones is the subnet’s broadcast address). 192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 is subnet A itself, and 192.168.1.127 with mask 255.255.255.128 is its broadcast address.
