Installing the Switch

Before installing the switch, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package
Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local Accton
distributor. Also be sure you have all the necessary tools and cabling before
installing the switch. Note that the switch can be installed on any suitable large flat
suface.

Package Contents

This package includes:

Selecting a Site

Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when choosing a location:

• Select a suitable location for the switch:

• It should be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the switch.

• The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges listed in the
specifications.

• The status LEDs should be clearly visible.

• There should be adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for
proper air flow.

• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent
lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference such as radios,
transmitters, etc.

• Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 1.83 meters (6 feet) of
the switch and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any
equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

Instructions

1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach the four

adhesive foot pads to the bottom of the switch.

2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the socket on the

switch's rear panel, and the other end into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Check the Power LED to be sure power is on.

Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting or disconnecting any

UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt the operation of other devices
attached to the switch.

• 5/8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (ES4005V or ES4008V)

• Four rubber foot pads • Appropriate DC power adapter

3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the switch using
Category 5, 5e, or 6 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP or STP) cable,
maximum length 100 meters (328 ft). Switch 10/100/1000 will support up to 5/8
PCs. All ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you
can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers,
or to other switches or hubs.

Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, the data rate will be

sensed automatically and the communication mode will default to half duplex. (All
1000BASE-T devices should support auto-negotiation, so this behavior only
applies to slower devices which do not support, or have disabled, auto­negotiation.)

4. Cascading Switches and Other Network Devices: All the ports on the switch
support automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration for cable connections. This allows
you to use straight-through cable to connect to other switches or hubs from any
port on the switch. No crossover cables or other device settings are needed.
See the “Cable Specifications” on page 8 of this guide for further information.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the

switch. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.

Applications

This switch segments your network, significantly increasing both bandwidth and
throughput. Each port on the switch can be attached to any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
or Gigabit Ethernet device, such as another switch, or a server’s network adapter.
All switch ports operate at 10 /100 Mbps full and half duplex, or 1000 Mbps full
duplex, providing up to 2 Gbps of bandwidth to the attached device.

Bridging Functions – This switch provides fully transparent bridging functions.
It automatically learns node addresses, that are subsequently used to filter and
forward all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes between
devices attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets are filtered
from the switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique segments
(i.e., different ports on the switch), the high-speed switching fabric forwards the
packets at near zero latency.

Switching Functions – Store-and-forward switching is used to forward traffic to
other ports. This scheme ensures data integrity and provides a clean data stream.

Sample Application – This switch is designed to operate as a small workgroup
switch. It can provide 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps connections to workstations, or 1000
Mbps full-duplex links to high-speed servers. It can also provide a high-bandwidth
uplink to the network backbone.

Troubleshooting

Diagnosing Switch Indicators

Symptom
Power LED does not light after power on.

Probable Causes

DC power adapter may be defective.

Possible Solutions

• Check for loose connections.

• Check the power outlet by using it for another device.

• Replace the DC power adapter.

Symptom
Port (link) LED does not light after connection is made.

Probable Causes
Switch port, network card or cable may be defective.

Possible Solutions

• Check that the switch and attached device are both powered on.

• Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices.

• Verify that Category 5 or better cable is used for 10/100 Mbps connections,
Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable for 1000 Mbps connections, and that the length of any
cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

• Check the network card and cable connections for defects.

• Replace the defective card or cable if necessary.

Power and Cooling Problems

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply as
explained in the previous section. However, if the unit powers off after running for a
while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power
outlet, and verify that the fans on the right side of the unit are unobstructed and
running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal
power supply may be defective.

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (e.g., the power cord or network cabling),
test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other
components are functioning properly.

Cables

Cable Specifications

Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into

any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables
with RJ-45 connectors that conform with
FCC standards.

Use 100-ohm unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable for 10 Mbps connections,
Category 5, 5e cable for 100 Mbps connections, or Category 5, 5e or 6 for
1000 Mbps connections. Also be sure

that the length of any twisted-pair connection

does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments

Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can
use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other
switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the
cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the
cable.

The table below shows pinout signals for connections to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
devices.

1000BASE-T Pin Assignments

The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports
require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T
operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive.

Use 100-ohm Category 5 or 5e unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted­pair (STP) cable for 1000BASE-T connections. Also be sure that the length of any
twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also
work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is
recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations,
Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) cable should be used. The Category 5e
specification includes test parameters that are only recommendations for
Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for
running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable

Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk
(NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing information is specified in
the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally, cables must also pass test
parameters for Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These
tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional
Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”

Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables
between switches and end devices.

Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling

If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for
1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try to correct
the problem:

1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e
cables.

2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.

3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
