Fault Alarm Wiring Example

Cabling

3.6

• Use four twisted-pair, Category 5e or above cabling for RJ-45 port connection. The cable

between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than

100 meters (328 ft.) long.

• Gigabit Copper/SFP (mini-GBIC) combo port:

The Industrial switch has auto-detect Giga—Gigabit Copper/SFP combo ports. The Gigabit Copper

(10/100/1000T) ports should use Category 5e or above UTP/STP cable for a connection speed of

up to 1000Mbps. The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in

optical communications for both telecommunication and data communications. The SFP slots

supporting dual mode can switch the connection speed between 100 and 1000Mbps. They are

used to connect to the network segment with single or multimode fiber. You can choose the

appropriate SFP transceiver to plug into the SFP socket. Then use appropriate multimode or

singlemode fiber cable according to the transceiver.

Note: The particular SFP/Copper Combo port is deemed to be a single port. Either the SFP or

Copper port works; the SFP and Copper ports cannot both work at the same time.

The SFP port has the higher priority than the corresponding copper port; if you insert the 1000M

SFP transceiver (which has connected a fiber cable between that transceiver and a remote node)

into the SFP port, the connection of the corresponding copper port will link down.

If you insert the 100M SFP transceiver into the SFP port even without a fiber cable between that

transceiver and a remote node, the connection of the corresponding copper port will link down

immediately.

SFP Connection

To connect the transceiver and the LC cable, please follow the steps shown below:

First, insert the transceiver into the SFP slot. Notice that the triangle mark indicates the bottom

of the slot.

Insert transceiver into the SFP slot

Transceiver Inserted

Second, insert LC connector of the fiber cable into the transceiver.

LC connector to the transceiver

SFP Disconnection

To remove the LC connector from the transceiver, please follow the steps below:

First, press down the latches and pull the LC connector out of the transceiver.

Press down the latches to remove the LC connector

Second, push down the metal loop and pull out the transceiver by the handle.

Pull the transceiver out of the slot

4 Network Applications

X-Ring+ Application

4.1

The industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help a system recover from network

connection failure within 10ms, making it more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid STP (RSTP) algorithms but is quicker at recovering from

a failure than STP/RSTP. The figure below is a sample of X-Ring application.

Note for

Legacy-Ring

The X-Ring+ is supposed to recover from a connection failure within 10ms when the amount of the connected devices in the X-Ring group is less than 50.

Coupling Ring Application

4.2

As the illustration shows below, users can employ X-Ring groups to form a coupling ring for

redundant backup. It can ensure that transmissions between X-Ring groups not to fail. The

following figure is an example of a coupling ring application.

Dual Homing Application

4.3

The Dual Homing function is designed to prevent connection loss between the particular X-Ring

group and an upper level/core switch. Assign one port, (and only one), to be the Dual Homing

port that is the backup port in each single X-Ring group. The Dual Homing function only works

when the X-Ring function is active.

5 Configuration

5.2.3 IP Configuration

Due to the foreseeable address exhaustion of IPv4, the IP configuration of the Ethernet switch

is designed to provide an interface for users to configure the switch running both IPv4 and

IPv6 architecture.

IPv4

The IPv4 tab allows users to configure the switch to receive an IP address from DHCP server or

manually fill in IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, IP addresses of the primary and the

secondary DNS servers.

• DHCP Client: Enable or disable the DHCP client function. When the DHCP Client

function is enabled, the industrial switch will be assigned an IP address from the

network DHCP server. The default IP address will be replaced by the assigned IP

address on DHCP server. After users click Apply, a popup dialog shows up. It is to

inform the user that when the DHCP client is enabled, the current IP will lose and the

user should find the new IP on the DHCP server

• IP Address: Assign the IP address for the switch. With the DHCP Client function

enabled, the switch is configured as a DHCP client and users doesn’t need to assign the

IP address that is assigned by the DHCP server. The default IP is 192.168.16.1 or the

user has to assign an IP address manually when DHCP Client is disabled.

• Subnet Mask: Assign the subnet mask to the IP address. If the DHCP Client function

is disabled, the user has to assign the subnet mask manually.

• Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the switch. If the DHCP Client function is

disabled, the user has to assign the gateway manually. The default gateway is

192.168.16.254.

• DNS1: The abbreviation of Domain Name Server—an Internet service that translates

domain names into IP addresses. The domain name is in alphabetic order, which is easy

to be remembered. The Internet is based on IP address. Therefore, every time you use

a domain name, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP

address. For example, the domain name www.net.com might translate to 192.168.16.1.

• DNS2: Backup for DNS1. When DNS1 cannot function, DNS2 will then replace DNS1.

• When finished, click Apply for the configuration to take effect.
