CHAPTER 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.1 Introduction This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your Switch. The Switch is a 10/100 Mbps multi-port switch that can be used to build highperformance switched workgroup networks. The Switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is designed for workgroups, departments or backbone computing environments for small businesses.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.2 Features The following are the essential features of the Switch. • Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, and 802.3az standards. • Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports. • Auto-sensing crossover for all 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports. • Supports N-Way protocol for speed (10/100 Mbps) and duplex mode (Half/Full) auto-detection. • Supports store-and-forward switching. • Supports automatic address learning. • Full wire speed forwarding rate. • 802.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc. Figure 2 Standalone Workgroup Example 1.3.2 Bridging With its large address table and high performance, the Switch is an ideal solution for department networks to connect to the corporate backbone or for connecting network segments.

CHAPTER 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.1 Rear Panel The three-pronged power receptacle is located on the rear panel of the Switch. Refer to the Product Specifications on page 23 for power specification. Figure 4 Rear Panel ES1100-16 ES1100-24E ES1100-24 2.1.1 Rear Panel Power Connection Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the Switch and the other end to the appropriate power source.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.2 Front Panel The front panel of the Switch includes the auto-negotiating 10 Base-T/100 BaseTX RJ-45 ports and the LEDs. 2.2.1 RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports The 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX RJ-45 ports are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100 Mpbs) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.2.3 Front Panel LEDs The LED Indicators give real-time information about the status of the Switch. The following table provides descriptions of the LEDs. Figure 5 Front Panel LEDs ES1100-24 ES1100-16 ES1100-24E The following table describes the LEDs. Table 2 The Front Panel LED Descriptions LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION PWR Green On The Switch is on and receiving power. Off The Switch is not receiving power.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection Note: The ES1100-16/24E is a desktop device, but it is also rackmountable and wall-mountable. Ask an authorized technician to attach the Switch to the rack/wall. 2.3.1 Wall Mounting (ES1100-16 / ES1100-24E Only) Do the following to attach your Switch to a wall. 1 Screw the two screws provided with your Switch into the wall 150 mm apart (see the figure in step 2). Use screws with 6 mm ~ 8 mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.3.2 Rack Mounting The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting kit. Rack-mounted Installation Requirements • Two mounting brackets. • Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver. • Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver. Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 18 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.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection 2.3.3 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 2 Hardware Description and Connection Figure 9 Mounting the Switch on a Rack (ES1100-24) 20 2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M5 flat head screws through the mounting bracket holes into the rack. 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the second mounting bracket on the other side of the rack.
CHAPTER 3 Troubleshooting This section describes common problems you may encounter with the Switch and possible solutions. Troubleshoot the Switch using the LEDs to detect problems. The PWR LED on the front panel does not light up. • Check the connections from your Switch to the power source. Make sure you are using the supplied power cord and that you are using an appropriate power source. Refer to the product specifications.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 3.1 Improper Network Cabling and Topology Improper network cabling or topology setup is a common cause of poor network performance or even network failure.
