6/28/2007 page 10 of 145
DIN RAIL MOUNTING
Install the unit on a standard 35mm Din-Rail. Recess the 7014TX unit to allow at least 3” of horizontal clearance for fiber cable bend radius. Recess the 7014FX2 unit to allow at least 5” of horizontal clearance for fiber cable bend radius.
To mount the unit to the 35mm din-rail, place top edge of the bracket on the back of the unit against the din-rail at an upward angle. Lower the bottom of the unit until it snaps into place.
To remove the unit from the 35mm din-rail, place a flat head screwdriver into the release clip at the bottom of the unit, and push down on the clip until it disengages from the bottom of the unit from the din-rail. Lift the bottom of the unit up at an approximate 45° upward angle to completely remove the unit.
Most N-Tron™ products are designed to be mounted on industry standard 35mm DIN­Rail. However, DIN-Rail mounting may not be suitable for all applications. Our Rack Mount Assembly (P/N: 900-RM) may be used to mount the 7014 Series to standard 19" racks as an option.

APPLYING POWER (Side View)
• Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input
Plug from the Power Input Header
• Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug
(observing polarity).
• For best results keep the power cable length
to a maximum of one (1) meter.
• Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the
Power Input Header.
• Tightening torque for the terminal block
power plug is 0.5 Nm/0.368 Pound Foot.
• Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).
Note: Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power operation, V1 and V2 inputs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. This device will draw current from both sources simultaneously. Use 16-28 gauge wire when connecting to the power supply.
Recommended 24V DC Power Supplies, similar to: N-Tron’s P/N NTPS-24-3:
• Input AC 115/230V
• Output DC 24-28V
• Output Current 3A @ 24V
2.6A @ 28V
• Power 72W
• 35 mm DIN-Rail Mountable
• Dimensions: 45X75X91 mm

Connecting the Unit
For FX/FXE units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. The TX port on the FX/FXE models should be connected to the RX port of the far end station. The RX port on the FX/FXE versions should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.
For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED’s are ON once the connection has been completed. To connect any port to another device (end node, Switch or Repeater), use a standard Category 5E straight through or crossover cable with a minimum length of one meter and a maximum length of 100 meters..
N-Tron recommends the use of pre­manufactured Cat5E cables to ensure the best performance. If this is not an option and users must terminate their own ends on the Cat5E cables; one of the two color coded standards shown to the right should be utilized. If a user does not follow one of these two color code standards then the performance and maximum cable distance will be reduced significantly, and may prevent the switch from establishing a link.

N-TRON SWITCH GROUNDING TECHNIQUES
The grounding philosophy of any control system is an integral part of the design. N-Tron switches are designed to be grounded, but the user has been given the flexibility to float the switch when required. The best noise immunity and emissions (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron switches with metal brackets can be supplied with optional plastic brackets if isolation is required.
Both V- legs of the power input connector are connected to chassis internally on the PCB. Connecting a drain wire to earth ground from one of the V- terminal plugs as shown here will ground the switch and the chassis. The power leads from the power source should be limited to 3 meters or less in length.
As an alternate, users can run a drain wire & lug from any of the Din­Rail screws or empty PEM nuts on the enclosure. When using an unused PEM nut to connect a ground lug via a machine screw, care should be taken to limit the penetration of the outer skin by less than 1/4 in. Failure to do so may cause irreversible damage to the internal components of the switch.
Note: Before applying power to the grounded switch, you must use a volt meter to verify there is no voltage difference between the power supply’s negative output terminal and the switch chassis grounding point.
The use of shielded cables between devices is not required for most N-Tron devices (please consult the user manuals for specific details). If the use of shielded cables is required, it is generally recommended to only connect the shield at one end to prevent ground loops and interfere with low level signals (i.e. thermocouples, RTD, etc.). Cat5e cables manufactured to EIA-568A or 568B specifications are required for use with N-Tron Switches.
In the event all Cat5e patch cable distances are small (i.e. All Ethernet devices are located the same local cabinet and/or referenced to the same earth ground), it is permissible to use fully shielded cables terminated to chassis ground at both ends in systems void of low level analog signals.

Overview of Advanced Features Mode of Operation
Each port on the switch can be configured into different modes of operation as shown below:
Copper Ports: 100Base Fiber Ports: 1000Base Fiber Ports:
- Half Duplex - Full Duplex - Full Duplex
- Full Duplex
- Auto Negotiation
Half Duplex
In half duplex mode, the CSMA/CD media access method is the means by which two or more stations share a common transmission medium. To transmit, a station waits (defers) for a quiet period on the medium (that is, no other station is transmitting) and then sends the intended message in bit-serial form. If, after initiating a transmission, the message collides with that of another station, then each transmitting station intentionally transmits for an additional predefined period to ensure propagation of the collision throughout the system. The station remains silent for a random amount of time (backoff) before attempting to transmit again.
Full Duplex
Full duplex operation allows simultaneous communication between a pair of stations using point-to-point media (dedicated channel). Full duplex operation does not require that transmitters defer, nor do they monitor or react to receive activity, as there is no contention for a shared medium in this mode.
Auto Negotiation
In Auto Negotiation mode the port / hardware detects the mode of operation of the station that is connected to this port and sets its mode to match the mode that of the station.
Port Security
Port Security provides a mechanism to detect any intruder in the network. When security is enabled on the port, the port stops learning new MAC addresses on that port and if it receives any packet with a source MAC address that is not in the address table, the packet will be discarded.
Port Mirroring
A Mirroring Port is a dedicated port that is configured to receive the copies of Ethernet frames that are being transmitted out and also being received in from any other port that is being monitored.
Port Trunking
Port Trunking is the ability to group two or more network ports to increase the bandwidth between two machines (switch or any work station). This feature allows grouping of high-speed connectivity and provides redundant connection between switches, so that trunk can act as a single link between the switches.
6/28/2007 page 17 of 145
Priority Tagging (QoS)
IEEE 802.1p priority tagging is supported for two classes of services along with bandwidth support per priority level. Transparent mode is supported through configuration wherein if the field is set, the tag bits are ignored. The User can configure up to 8 different priority levels per port. Also priority overriding (overriding the tagged field) can be enabled or disabled by the user.
Virtual LAN
The switch provides support for setting up both tagged Virtual LANs and port based Virtual LANs. A port may belong to any number of Virtual LANs. The VLAN membership of a station is determined by the VLAN(s) that have been defined for the port to which the station is connected. If a station should move from one port to another, it loses its current VLAN membership and inherits that of the new port it is connected to.
A Default Virtual LAN exists to which a port, which is not a member of any other Virtual LAN, will belong. This allows the switch to operate as a ‘normal’ Bridge when it is used in a network. A port is automatically removed from the Default VLAN when it is reconfigured to belong to another Virtual LAN.
Using Tagged VLANs the switch has the ability to take non-tagged packets in some ports, add a VLAN tag to the packet and send it out tagged ports on the switch. The VLANs can also be configured to accept tagged packets in tagged ports, strip the tags off the packets, and send the packets back out other untagged ports. This allows a network administrator to set up the switch so he can support devices on the network that do not support VLAN Tagged packets. The administrator can also set up the ports to discard any packets that are tagged or to discard any packets that are untagged based on a hybrid VLAN of both tagged and untagged ports, and using the VLAN Ingress Filter on the switch.
The 7014 Series switch also has the ability to allow overlapping VLANs. Overlapping VLANs gives the user the ability to have one or more ports share two or more VLAN groups. For more information and examples on how this could be implemented please see our website’s technical documents.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
The rapid spanning tree protocol as specified in IEEE 802.1D-2004 is supported. One Spanning Tree per a unit is supported. Besides a Spanning Tree per VLAN is also supported. The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) supersedes the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) which was described in IEEE 802.1D-1998. The RSTP is used to configure a simply connected active network topology from the arbitrarily connected bridges of a bridged network. Bridges effectively connect just the LANs to which their forwarding ports are attached. Ports that are in a blocking state do not forward frames. The bridges in the network exchange sufficient information to automatically derive a spanning tree. RSTP allows for much quicker learning of network topology changes than the older STP. RSTP supports new and improved features such as rapid transition to forwarding state. RSTP also sends out new BPDUs every hello time instead of just relaying them. RSTP interoperates with older STP switches by falling back to the older STP when the older BPDUs are detected on bridge ports. The user can also manually configure bridge ports to use the older STP when desired.

SNMP Traps
The 7014 Series switch supports up to 5 SNMP Trap Stations to which SNMP Traps will be sent. The switch supports three standard traps; Link Up, Link Down, and Cold Start. SNMP Traps will be sent to all the stations configured on the switch if a port Link goes up or down, and when the switch first powers up.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping is enabled by default, and the switch is Plug and Play for IGMP. IGMP snooping provides intelligent network support for multicast applications. In particular, unneeded traffic is reduced. IGMP Snooping is configured via the console and if enabled, then operates dynamically upon each power up. Also, there can be manual only or manual and dynamic operation. Note that “static multicast group address” can be used whether IGMP Snooping is enabled or not.
IGMP Snooping will function dynamically without user intervention. If some of the devices in the LAN do not understand IGMP, then manual settings are provided to accommodate them. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol that provides a way for a computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent ‘routers’. In this case N-Tron 7014 series switches provide router-like functionality. Multicasting allows one computer to send content to multiple other computers that have identified themselves as interested in receiving the originating computer's content. Multicasting can be used to transmit only to an audience that has joined (and not left) a multicast group membership. IGMP version 2 is formally described in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 2236. IGMP version 1 is formally described in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 1112. The 7014 series supports v1 and v2.
N-Ring
N-Ring is enabled by default, and the switch is Plug and Play for N-Ring except that initially one must enable an N-Ring enabled device to be the N-Ring Manager for a given N-Ring. Subsequently, N-Ring operates dynamically upon each power up. Using N-Tron's proprietary N-Ring technology offers expanded ring size capacity, detailed fault diagnostics, and a standard healing time of 30ms. The N-Ring Manager periodically checks the health of the N-Ring via health check packets. If the N-Ring Manager stops receiving the health check packets, it times out and converts the N-Ring to a backbone within 30ms. When using all N-Ring enabled switches in the ring, a detailed ring map and fault location chart is also provided on the N-Ring Manager’s web browser. N-Ring status is also sent from the N-Ring Manager to the N-View OPC Server to identify the health status of the ring. Up to 250 N-Ring enabled switches can participate in one N-Ring topology. Switches that do not have N-Ring capability may be used in an N-Ring, however the ring map and fault location chart cannot be as detailed at these locations.
