Introduction
The ES7510-XT is an industrial ten port managed PoE Plus switch that provides:
• Eight 10/100BASE-TX PoE Plus ports that are IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) complian
wi
th a forced powering feature to support non-standard Power Devices (PDs
Two Gigabit (10/100/1000BASE-TX) Combo RJ45/SFP ports
•
The ES7510-XT meets the high power and advanced management needs of critical PoE applications such as
real-time IP video surveillance and wireless communication utilizing Wimax and IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n access
points. Featuring a rugged design for harsh environments, web user interface, Command Line Interface (CLI),
SNMP management options, power scheduling, and eight fully compliant IEEE 802.3at PoE injector ports, the
ES7510-XT is easily configured to deliver up to 30W for even the most power intensive devices such as IP
cameras utilizing heaters and pan/tilt/zoom controls.
In addition to functioning as a PoE power source, the ES7510-XT includes features to enhance device control,
ensuring that power consumption does not exceed parameters that you define. This includes power budget
control functions to limit power output on devices not reporting correct consumption rates and device priority
options to guarantee power to critical devices while avoiding power supply overloads.
The ES7510-XT is equipped with full Layer 2+ management capabilities to provide the most flexible network
configuration and control. Features like Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allow grouping of multiple
ports to enhance bandwidth and provide load balancing while port-based VLAN with tunneling, QoS, IGMP
Snooping, and Rate Control features enable optimum control over network environments. In addition to the
full array of management capabilities, the ES7510-XT also supports security features that protect the
network and guarantee secure, reliable data transmission. Fault relay and email notification of event alarms,
DHCP supporting IP and MAC binding, IEEE 802.1x Access Control, SSH, and many other controls are
included to make secure administration and management a simple task.
The ES7510-XT provides features needed for network control and security in an industrial network
environment.

Hardware Installation
Connect the Digital Inputs and Relay Outputs
The ES7510-XT provides one digital input and one digital output (dry relay output) on the terminal block
connectors on the bottom of the unit. The fault conditions can be configured in the web user interface or
Command Line Interface (CLI) and include:
•Power
•Port link
•Ring
•Ping
•Ping reset
•Dry output
•DI
You can configure events using one of the ES7510-XT user interfaces (Fault Relay
Command Line Interface (Global Configuration Mode
on Page 139).
The Digital Input pin can be pulled high or low so that the connected equipment can actively drive these pins.
The web user interface allows you to read and set the value to the connected device. The power input voltage
of logic low is 0 to 10VDC and logic high is 11 to 30VDC. Do not apply a higher voltage than the specification;
it may cause internal circuit damage or a cause an incorrect DI action.
on Page 117) or the
Digital output relay contacts are energized (open) for normal operation and close for fault conditions. The
digital output relay contacts support up to 0.5A at 24VDC. Do not apply voltage and current higher than the
specifications.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires (12-24 AWG) into V+ and V-.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from coming loose.

Connect the Ethernet Ports
You can use the following information to connect standard Ethernet cables between the ES7510-XT Ethernet
ports and the network nodes.
• Ports 1-8 are Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) PoE ports that are IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3a
PoE Plus) compliant.
(
• Ports 9-10 are RJ45/SFP Combo Gigabit ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX, and
1000BASE-X with digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM)
.
See Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 9-10) on Page 14 for information about SFP installation.
All of the Ethernet ports automatically detect the signal from the connected devices to negotiate the link
speed and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex). Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or
workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the
transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.
t
Connect one side of an Ethernet cable into any switch port and connect the other side to your attached device.
The LNK/ACT LED is lit when the cable is correctly connected. Always make sure that the cables between
the switches and attached devices (for example, switch, hub, or workstation) are less than 100 meters (328
feet) and meet these requirements.
• 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
• 100BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable
• 1000BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable

Hardware Installation
The SFP cage is 2 x1 design.
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 9-10)
The ES7510-XT provides two SFP ports
combined with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports
(Ports 9-10). The SFP ports accept standard mini
GBIC DDM SFP transceivers that support
100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X.
To ensure system reliability, Comtrol
recommends using Comtrol certified SFP
Transceivers.
1. Plug the SFP transceiver into the SFP
transceiver
.
2. Connect the transmit channel to the re
c
hannel at each end.
3. Check the direction/angle of the fiber transceiver and the fiber cable.
Note: This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare at the Laser/LED Beam.
The SFP port does not function until the fiber cable is linked to another active device. The SFP and
corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode. Traffic sent or received through the SFP module has
priority thus no traffic is sent or received over the corresponding RJ45 connection. To use the RJ45
connection, remove the corresponding SFP.
Multi-Mode cables should not exceed 2KM and Single-Mode cables should not exceed 30km.

Using PortVision DX
There are several ways to configure network information. Comtrol Technical Support recommends connecting
the ES7510-XT to a PC or laptop running Windows
This section shows how to use PortVision DX for initial network configuration and discusses how to:
• Install PortVision DX (Page 19
• Configure the network address (Page 21
• Check the firmware and bootloader version on the ES7510-XT to verify that the latest versions
• Download the latest version firmware and bootloader and upload it to the ES7510-XT (Page 25
• Perform other PortVision DX tasks, such as:
• Organize how PortVision DX displays your Comtrol Ethernet attached products (Page 28)
• Access the latest documentation for your Comtrol Ethernet attached product
Optionally, you can use the web user interface or the CLI to perform these tasks on the ES7510-XT using

In addition to identifying Comtrol Ethernet attached products, you can use PortVision DX to display any
third-party switch and hardware that may be connected directly to those devices. All non-Comtrol products
and unmanaged RocketLinx switches are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited feature support.
For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-party switch.
PortVision DX Requirements
Use PortVision DX to identify, configure, update, and manage the ES7510-XT on the following Windows
operating systems:
• Windows 8/8.1
• Windows Server 2012
•Windows 7
• Windows Server 2008
•Windows Vista
• Windows Server 2003
•Windows XP
PortVision DX requires that you connect the Comtrol Ethernet attached product to the same network segment
as the Windows host system if you want to be able to scan and locate it automatically during the configuration
process.
