A: Housed in multi-user environment such as conference room or class room with one
available network wall jack.
After configuration is completed, perform the following:
1. Position the Switch where convenient.
2. Connect one end of an enclosed RJ45 cable to one of the bottom ports on the EthIR
Beam. Repeat for as many EthIR Beams as needed.
3. Uplink the Switch to a wall jack or hub with an RJ45 patch cable (Cat 3 or 5).
4. Power on the unit by connecting enclosed power cable to a 110/220 electrical outlet.
Section 2
The (ESB101, ESB301,ESB1000, ESB3011b and the ESB208/216) are all DHCP enabled.
Insure a DHCP server is up and running on the network before uplinking. If there is no
DHCP
server on the network then do not uplink. You will have to configure the Switch first,
before uplinking to the network.
Single Port:
1. Connect one end of the mini-DIN cable to the EthIR Beam and the other end
to the mini-DIN connector on the Switch.
2. Connect one end of the RJ45 cable from the Ethernet uplink port
on the Switch to an Ethernet wall jack or hub.
3. Connect power jack to the power jack port and plug into a 110/220 electrical
outlet.
Note: For the (ESB301) connect the additional Ethernet to desktop port to an Ethernet
NIC card in your desktop computer (Optional).

B: Housed in the network equipment closet.
These switches can be placed in the wiring closet to provide either Infrared or Ethernet
connectivity to the existing wall jacks.
1. Position Switch in wall rack.
2. Connect the incoming RJ45 cable from each office or cubicle wall jack to one of the
bottom infrared ports on the Switch. Repeat as needed for each office cubicle
requiring infrared support.
3. Connect another RJ45 cable from the corresponding top Ethernet pass-through port
to the patch panel or hub. Repeat as needed for each office cubicle requiring both
Infrared or Ethernet support. (NOTE: if only providing for Infrared connectivity this
step can be skipped).
4. Uplink the Switch to the patch panel or hub with an RJ45 patch cable (Cat 3 or 5).
5. Power on the unit by connecting enclosed power cable to a 110/220 electrical outlet.

Troubleshooting Issues
A) If the EthIR Switch (all models) fails to obtain IP addresses for connecting devices when
it is set in DHCP mode, check the following:
• There may not be available IP addresses in the DHCP server pool to allocate for the
device. Contact the network administrator to verify if the DHCP server is up and
running and has enough IP addresses to allocate. If using a multi-port Switch (for
example, the 8 port ES208) and attempting to connect 8 devices, the DHCP server
must allocate at least 8 IPs for the Switches IP Pool. Example: If the DHCP server
can only allocate 4 IP addresses to the Switches IP pool, then only 4 infrared
devices will be able to communicate on the network through the Switch.
B) When using the (ESB101), (EthIR STAR 1000-3000) or (ESB301) to connect to the network, the infrared notebook or handheld device fails to communicate over the DHCP
enabled network. Check the cabling:
•
The (ESB101, ESB1000 and the ESB3000) will not function in a 100 Base-T only
environment.
•
For all EthIR LAN models, except the ESB3011b, insure that a Category 5
Ethernet Patch Cable is used to uplink to the network. Do not use a cross-over cable
to connect the Uplink to the network wall jack.
•
For the (ESB301), insure that the RJ45 cable in the Uplink port is connected to the
network wall jack and not
to the Ethernet NIC card in the desktop computer.
The Ethernet to Desktop port is for connecting the ESB301 to the desktop and not to
the network wall jack. Crossing these two ports will result in a failure for the ESB301
to communicate with the network and the desktop computer.
•
For the (ESB3011b), insure that the 802.11b uplink to the 802.11P AP is connected
and stable.
•
Check all cables and make certain they fit properly into each connection.
C) When there is no DHCP server on the network, make sure the correct IP addresses
have been configured on the EthIR Switch.
Section 3
Pass-through allows for flexibility of either Infrared or Ethernet connectivity for each
office or cubicle wall connection. If the EthIR Switch senses an incoming Ethernet
frame it will “pass-through” the frame to the Ethernet network via the pass-through
port. If the EthIR Switch senses an Infrared frame it will convert it to Ethernet and
send it to the network via its Uplink port.
