2.1.1 Site Requirements
The ES4710BD must be used indoors, and have the following requirements:
Ambient temperature: 0 ~ 40°C
Humidity: 10% ~ 90%, non-condensing
The ES4710BD is equipped with a fan assembly for providing the switch with an appropriate level
of cooling; you can place the switch on a workbench or rack. Ensure the following:
zThe rack or workbench should be well ventilated. For sufficient air circulation, it is
recommended to mount the switch on a 19″ standard rack with sufficient spacing. Air
conditioning is recommended in areas with high temperatures in the summer.
zTo cool the internal circuits, the switch comes with internal fan assemblies. To maintain
proper air circulation through the switch chassis, we recommend that you maintain a
minimum 100mm separation between the chassis air intake or the chassis air exhaust and
any walls. Make sure that all air intakes and exhausts on the system remain unobstructed. Do
not stack heavy items on the switch.
zMake sure the rack or workbench are strong enough to support the weight of a fully
configured switch.
zMake sure the rack or workbench is well grounded; if the workbench is not grounded, it
should be placed near a grounding conductor to provide easy ground connection for the
switch.
2.1.2 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To maximize the switch’s performance and lifespan, the site should maintain a desirable temperature
and humidity. High-humidity conditions can cause electrical resistance degradation or even electric
leakage, degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion of internal components. Extreme low
relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to contract, making the fastening screw insecure.
Furthermore, in dry environments, static electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to
internal circuits. Temperature extremes can cause reduced reliability and premature aging of
insulation materials, thus reducing the switch’s working lifespan. The recommended temperature
and humidity are shown below:
55
Page 57
EES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch
Temperature: Relative humidity
Long term condition Short term condition Long term condition Short term condition
15 ~ 30°C 0 ~ 40°C
40~65% 10~90%
Notice
A sample of ambient temperature and humidity should be taken at 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m in
front of the switch rack, with no protective panel covering the front and rear of the rack.
Short term working conditions refer to a maximum of 48 hours of continued operation and an
annual cumulative total of less than 15 days.
Formidable operation conditions refers to the ambient temperature and relative humidity value that
may occur during an air-conditioning system failure, and normal operation conditions should be
recovered within 5 hours.
2.1.3 Dust and Particles
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the ES4710BD. Dust can lead to electrostatic adherence,
especially likely under low relative humidity, causing poor contact of metal connectors or contacts.
Electrostatic adherence will result in not only reduced product lifespan, but also increased chance of
communication failures. The recommended values for dust content and particle diameter in the site
are shown below:
Max. Diameter (µm) 0.5 1 3 5
Max. Density
1.4×10
7
7×105 2.4×105 1.3×105
(particles/m³)
In addition, salt, acid and sulfide in the air are also harmful to the switch. Such harmful gases will
aggravate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. The chosen site should avoid harmful gases,
such as SO
, H2S, NO2, NH3 and Cl2, etc. The table below details the threshold values.

Page 85
EES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch
Run the Telnet client program included in Windows with the specified Telnet target.
Fig 4-8 Running the Telnet client program included in Windows
Step 3: Log in to the switch
Log in to the Telnet configuration interface. Valid login name and password are required, otherwise
the switch will reject Telnet access. This method protects the switch from unauthorized access. If no
authorized Telnet user has been configured, nobody can connect to the Telnet CLI configuration
interface. As a result, when Telnet is enabled for configuring and managing the switch, username
and password for authorized Telnet users must be configured with the following command:
telnet-user <user> password {0|7} <password>
Example: Assume an authorized user in the switch has the username of “test”, and password of
“test”, the configuration procedure should like the following:
>en
Switch
Switch#config
Switch(Config)#telnet-user test password 0 test
Enter valid login name and password in the Telnet configuration interface, Telnet user will be
able to enter the switch’s CLI configuration interface. The commands used in the Telnet CLI
interface after login are the same as in the Console interface.

4.1.2.2 Managing the Switch through ECview
To manage the switch with ECview, the following conditions should be met:
1) Switch has an IP address configured
2) The host’s IP address and the switch’s VLAN interface IP address are in the same network
segment.
3) If not 2), the client can connect to an IP address of the switch via other devices, such as a
router
4) Network management is enabled
The computer hosting ECview should be able to ping the associated IP address of Switch so
that ECview will, upon launching, find ES4710BD to perform read/write operations. This manual
does not include information about how to manage the switch with ECview, please refer to ECview
User’s Guide for details.
4.2 Management Interface
ES4710BD provides 2 management interface: CLI (Command Line Interface) and ECview
software. This manual will focus on the CLI interface, for information about ECview, please refer to

4.2.1.2 Configuration Syntax
ES4710BD provides various configuration commands. Although all the commands are
different, they all abide by the syntax of ES4710BD configuration commands. The general
command format of ES4710BD is shown below:
cmdtxt<variable> { enum1 | … | enumN } [option]
Conventions: cmdtxt in bold font indicates a command keyword; <variable> indicates a variable
parameter; {enum1 | … | enumN } indicates a mandatory parameter that should be selected from
enum1~enumN; and the square bracket ([ ]) in [option] indicates an optional parameter. There may
be combinations of “< >”, “{ }” and “[ ]” in the command line, such as [<variable>],{enum1
<variable>| enum2}, [option1 [option2]], etc.
Here are examples for some actual configuration commands:
yshow version, no parameters required. This is a command with only a keyword
and no parameter, just type in the command to run.
y vlan <vlan-id>, parameter values are required after the keyword.
y duplex {auto|full|half},user can enter duplex auto,duplex full or duplex half for
this command.
y snmp-server community {ro|rw} <string>, the followings are possible:
snmp-server community ro <string>
snmp-server community rw <string>
4.2.1.3 Shortcut Key Support
ES4710BD provides several shortcut keys to facilitate user configuration, such as up, down,
left, right and Backspace. If the terminal does not recognize Up and Down keys, ctrl+p and ctrl+n
can be used instead.
Key(s) Function
Backspace Deletes a character before the cursor, and the cursor moves back.
Up “↑” Shows previous command entered. Up to ten recently entered commands
can be shown.
Down “↓” Shows next command entered. When using the Up key to get previously
entered commands, you can use the Down key to return to the next
command
Left “←” The cursor moves one character to the
left.
89
You can use the Left and Right
key to modify an entry.

the position should be a parameter, a description of that parameter
type, scope, etc, will be returned; if the position should be a
keyword, then a set of keywords with brief descriptions will be
returned; if the output is “<cr>”, then the command is complete,
press Enter to run the command.
3. “?” immediately following a string. This will display all the
commands that begins with that string.
4.2.1.5 Input verification
4.2.1.5.1 Returned Information: success

4.2.1.6 Fuzzy match support
ES4710BD Shell support fuzzy match in searching for commands and keywords. Shell will
recognize commands or keywords correctly if the entered string causes no conflict.
For example:
1. For Admin configuration command “show interface ethernet 1/1”, simply typing in
“sh in e 1/1” will work.
2. However, for Admin configuration command “show running-config”, the system will,
if only “show r” is entered, report a “> Ambiguous command!” error. Shell is unable
to tell whether it is “show rom” or “show running-config”. Therefore, Shell will only
recognize the command if the minimum of “sh ru” is entered.
