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
6/28/2007 page 13 of 145
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.
6/28/2007 page 18 of 145
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.

Ports – Trunking
The Trunking tab under the Ports category displays a list of trunks configured on the switch and the
following details regarding each trunk:
Trunk Name
Trunk Ports
Trunk State
By selecting the “Create” button, you can add a trunk group.
NOTE: RSTP must be disabled in order to use the Trunking Feature.
A maximum of 4 ports of the same speed can constitute a valid trunk.
Only 1 Trunk per switch can be created.
All trunk ports must be at the same speed and duplex mode. If a port is not linked, there could be
difficulty as to similar speed and duplex mode. It is best to hard code speed and duplex mode for
each trunking link, at both ends.
When trunking the gigabit ports it’s best to route switchA GB1 to switchB GB1 and switchA GB2 to
switchB GB2.
Do not use Trunking on a switch that is directly in an active N-Ring.
6/28/2007 page 33 of 145

VLAN – Ingress Filter
The Ingress Filter tab under the VLAN category shows all the Ingress Filter Rule enabled or disabled state
for each port. Ingress Filtering can be Enabled or Disabled for each port. If enabled, received frames will be
discarded if the frame's VID does not match any VLAN IDs associated with the port. This implements IEEE
802.1Q clause 8.6.
6/28/2007 page 37 of 145
To change the Ingress Filter Rule simply click on the Modify button on the page above, select the port
number from the pull down menu that you wish to modify and then choose to either enable or disable the
Ingress Filter Rule.
NOTE: The Ingress Filter will automatically be turned on for respective ports when tagged VLANs are
created, but may not automatically turn off if you change a tagged VLAN to a port based VLAN.
6/28/2007 page 38 of 145
VLAN – Port Based
The Port Based tab under the VLAN category shows all the VLANs that are configured on the switch and
details about the VLANs such as port numbers and tagged VLAN settings.
To add a VLAN simply click on the Add button on the page above and fill in the desired fields. The
example below would set up a basic port based VLAN for ports P1-P6.
(See VLAN Configuration Examples section)
Note:
1. When implementing overlapping VLANs, RSTP can only be enabled on one of the VLANs that is
overlapping others. RSTP can not be implemented on a VLAN that contains other VLANs within
that one. Changing anything on a VLAN will turn on RSTP on all VLANS as a precautionary
measure.
2. VLANs on N-Ring ports are limited to VID=1 (default) or VID=2. All N-Ring ports must be on
the same tagged VLAN.
3. VID=1 has to be Admit=ALL, and cannot be tagged only.
6/28/2007 page 39 of 145
VLAN – Port Based, Continued…
Now the page will display the new VLAN and moved ports P1-P6 from the default VLAN down to vlan2
that was just created.
To delete or remove VLANs that are no longer wanted simply click on the Delete button on the main Port
Based VLAN page. That button will load the page where the user can enter the VLAN ID that he or she
wishes to delete.
(See VLAN Configuration Examples section)
Note:

6/28/2007 page 40 of 145
VLAN – Port Based, Continued…
Once the VLAN is deleted it will no longer appear on the main page and all the ports are now back under
the default VLAN. When a port based VLAN is created the PVID (Port VLAN ID) will change
automatically to be members of the new VLAN they are a part of. If you delete this VLAN the PVIDs will
not automatically return to the default VLAN. Users should keep this in mind when removing VLANs, and
may need to manually change the PVIDs for any affected ports.
(See VLAN Configuration Examples section)

associated with each respective port number. This can be used to statically assign a MAC address access to
a single port on the switch.
Following the Add button on the page above, the administrator must enter a valid MAC address and
associate it with a port number on the switch. Once the administrator hits the Update button the changes
will take effect instantly.
Once a static MAC address has been added, it will be displayed in a list on the main page under Unicast
MACs tab.
6/28/2007 page 43 of 145
Bridging – Unicast Addresses, Continued…
Following the Delete button on the page above, an administrator can select a static MAC address from the
list using a pull down menu. After selecting the MAC address the administrator needs to press the Delete
button on this page to remove the entry
.
6/28/2007 page 44 of 145
Bridging – Multicast Addresses
The Multicast Addresses tab under the Bridging category will display a list of Multicast Group Addresses
that are associated with respective port numbers. This may be used to statically assign a Multicast Group
Address access to a group of ports on the switch.
Following the Add button on the page above, the administrator must enter a valid Multicast Group Address
and associate it with a port number or list on the switch. Once the administrator clicks on the Update
button, the changes will take effect instantly.
Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 7014 will apply the static multicast address to the
lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. So if
the lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella
VLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems. This can be achieved with overlapping
VLANs.
6/28/2007 page 45 of 145
Bridging – Multicast Addresses, Continued…
After adding a Multicast Group Address it will appear on the main list and will show the associated ports
that go along with that address.
Following the Delete button on the page above, the administrator will be presented with a list of Multicast
Group Addresses that are configured on the switch. Using the pull down menu the administrator should
select the desired port to be removed. Then click on the Delete button at the bottom of the page.
Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 7014 will apply the static multicast address to the
lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. So if

configure RSTP on. Once the VLAN is selected the administrator may configure the bridge by clicking on
the Configuration button in the middle of the page.
The configuration screen for the VLAN that was previously selected will look like the example below. Here
the administrator can make changes such as the Hello Time, the Forward Delay, the Max Age, the priority,
and the Status of RSTP on that VLAN. Following the link for the view RSTP Port Configuration at VLAN#
the administrator or user can see the current RSTP status of the ports on that VLAN.
NOTE: Trunking must be disabled in order to use RSTP.
6/28/2007 page 47 of 145
RSTP Configuration, Continued…
Following the link for the view RSTP Port Configuration at VLAN# the administrator or user can see the
current RSTP status of the ports on that VLAN. This will show information such as the Path Cost and the
Port State. If the switch sees a redundant path it will put the port with the highest Path Cost into Blocking
mode where it will discard packets coming in on that port. In the below example, P12 is a redundant port
with port P2, therefore P2 is forwarding and P12 is discarding.
6/28/2007 page 48 of 145
RSTP – RSTP Configuration, Continued…
If the administrator selects one of the ports on the previous screen he or she can change the Port’s Path Cost,
Port’s Priority and the status of Admin Edge and Auto Edge.

IGMP – RFilter
The ‘rfilter’ (Router Multicast Data Filter) function allows you to choose whether or not DATA frames
with KNOWN group multicast addresses are sent to the ‘router’ ports (links to other switches). Control
packets (Join, Leave) will be sent to the router(s) regardless of this setting. “KNOWN” is known from
dynamic IGMP Snooping operations.
The factory default is that the Router Multicast Data Filter is enabled for all ports, so any router ports do
NOT get DATA frames with KNOWN multicast destination addresses unless a join to a specific multicast
address has been received on that port. Joins over-ride an rfilter.
If rfilter is disabled router ports do get DATA frames with KNOWN multicast destination addresses
Rfilter can be set for individual ports: any, all, or none. For each port, rfilter will have an impact only if that
port is manually or dynamically chosen as a router port.
Default configuration:

N-View – Configuration
The Configuration tab under the N-View category will display two basic variables for N-View, the status
and the interval between packets.
Following the Modify button on the above example, the administrator can modify the variable to change the
frequency with which N-View reports information. Increasing the interval will slow the update rate.
Decreasing the interval will allow N-View to report more frequently. Additionally, you may Disable or
Enable N-View altogether.

N-View – Ports
The Ports tab under the N-View category will display a list of all the configured ports on the 7014 unit along
with the ports transmitting multicast packets and MIB stats respectively.
6/28/2007 page 57 of 145
N-View – Ports, Continued…
Following the Modify button on the previous example, the administrator can modify these two variables to
enable or disable multicast out of the port and if MIB stats are sent out for those ports.
6/28/2007 page 58 of 145
N-Ring - Configuration
The Configuration tab under the N-Ring category will display the N-Ring basic configuration settings. By
default N-Ring is in AutoMember mode and the N-Ring agingtime is 20 seconds.
Following the Modify button on the previous page, the administrator will see a list of configurable fields for
the N-Ring configuration, as below.
The N-Ring Agingtime has a default of 20 seconds and is separate from the Bridging Aging Time. N-Ring
Aging time is used for the whole switch if the switch is an N-Ring Manager or becomes an active N-Ring
Member, and in either case N-Ring status includes for example:
“Switch is currently using N-Ring Aging Time = 20 Seconds”
Once these fields are filled in to meet the needs of the administrator’s network the changes may be saved by
clicking the Update button at the bottom of the page.
NOTES:
1. N-Ring Manager cannot have RSTP or Trunking enabled.
2. RSTP & N-Ring are different modes and cannot share links or segments along those lines.
See the examples in the RSTP configuration section.
3. Do not use Trunking on a switch that is directly in an active N-Ring.
4. Any one 7014 can only participate in one N-Ring.
6/28/2007 page 59 of 145
5. N-Ring copper ports must be run at 100Mb full duplex, including the default ‘autonegotiate’ as
long as all switches in the ring support 100Mb full duplex.
The “N-Ring Mode” is one of three, as below:
If N-Ring Mode is “Manager”, then a pulldown allows selection as available of ports P11 and P12, or GB1
and GB2 as N-Ring ports.
6/28/2007 page 60 of 145
N-Ring Configuration (continued)
If N-Ring Mode is “Manager”, then a pulldown allows selection of displaying N-Ring Summary Status on
all web pages or on N-Ring pages only:
6/28/2007 page 61 of 145
N-Ring Configuration (continued)
If N-Ring Mode is “Manager”, then VLAN ID can be set to a unique vlan id (1 ~ 4094). Default is 1.
If N-Ring Mode is “Manager”, then a pulldown allows selection as to whether the N-Ring ports are
members of the VLANs Tagged or Untagged ports. Default is Untagged.
Once these fields are filled in to meet the needs of the administrator’s network the changes may be saved by
clicking the Update button at the bottom of the page.
NOTES:
1. Since VLANs are implemented for security reasons as well as traffic flow, N-Ring only makes
minimal changes. It is up to the administrator to ensure that VLANs are configured correctly on the
N-Ring manager and all N-Ring members.
2. When the N-Ring manager and all N-Ring Members are in defaults, changing the N-Ring manager
to use a Tagged VLAN requires no user interaction to allow non-ring traffic to pass through the ring.
This works because changing to a Tagged VLAN does not remove the ring ports from the default
VLAN.
3. When the N-Ring manager and all N-Ring Members are in defaults, changing the N-Ring manager
to use an Untagged VLAN other than VID 1, requires the administrator to add non-ring ports to the
N-Ring VLAN to allow non-ring traffic to pass through the ring. This occurs because the N-Ring
ports must be removed from VID 1 because an untagged port may only be a member of one VLAN.
6/28/2007 page 62 of 145
N-Ring – Status
The Status tab under the N-Ring category will display the N-Ring status.
Below is an example of N-Ring Status from a switch in defaults (N-Ring Auto Member) that is not
an N-Ring Manager and has not become an “Active” N-Ring Member:

In rare cases an N-Ring can have a “Partial Fault”. An example of this is to have a break in just one fiber in
a duplex channel fiber pair. The screenshot below shows N-Ring Manager Status when a ‘Higher’ N-Ring
Port (GB2 or FX2) is not receiving self health frames all the way around the N-Ring, though the other (low
GB1/FX1) N-Ring port is:

Firmware/Config - TFTP
The TFTP tab under the Firmware/Config category gives the administrator the ability to upload or download
a config file for a 7014 Series switch. This gives administrators the ability to backup their configurations to
a server offsite in case they need to reload their custom configurations at a later time. Administrators are
also given the ability to flash the switch in the field allowing them to update the firmware in the field
without losing their current configurations and without having to send the unit back in to N-Tron for updates
in the future. It is important not to cycle power on the switch or interrupt the data connection between the
TFTP server and the switch while you are flashing or uploading or downloading a config file. The switch
will not stop working if this does occur, but the administrator will have to retransfer the file.

Configuration – Save or Reset
The Configuration section of the web management gives an administrator the ability to save a running
configuration into the NVRAM. This step is needed in order for the switch to remember any changes after a
power cycle.
The Reset Configuration button will reload N-Tron’s factory default configuration settings. Doing so will
re-configure the 9000 Series switch to factory defaults.
In many cases it is desirable to restore factory defaults but retain the IP, Slot Configuration, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway Address settings. A choice is provided to this end.
