Chapter 1

Power and Relay Connector You connect the DC power and alarm signals to the switch through two front panel connectors. One connector provides primary DC power (supply A) and

the major alarm signal, and a second connector (supply B) provides secondary power and the minor alarm signal. The two connectors are physically identical and are in the upper left side of the front panel, as shown in the figure below.

The switch accessory pack includes the mating power and relay connectors. These connectors provide screw terminals for terminating the DC power and alarm wire and plug into the power and relay receptacles on the front panel. The positive DC power connection is labeled V, and the return is the adjacent connection labeled RT, as shown in the figure below.

V	RT	A	A
			31783-M

The switch can operate with a single power source or with dual power sources. When both power sources are operational, the switch draws power from the DC source with the higher voltage. If one of the two power sources fail, the other continues to power the switch.

WARNING

When you connect or disconnect the power and relay connector with power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that power is removed from the switch and alarm circuit. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

Failure to securely tighten the power and relay connector captive screws can result in an electrical arc if the connector is accidentally removed.

The power and relay connectors also provide an interface for two independent alarm relays: the major alarm and the minor alarm. The relays can be activated for environmental, power supply, and port status alarm conditions and can be configured to indicate an alarm with either open or closed contacts. The relay itself is normally open, so under power failure conditions, the contacts are open. From the Command Line Interface (CLI), you can associate any alarm condition with one alarm relay or with both relays.

Alarm relays often control an external alarm device, such as a bell or a light. To connect an external alarm device to the relay, you must connect two relay contact wires to complete an electrical circuit. Both alarm terminals on the power and relay connector are labeled A. You can connect them without regard to polarity.

Console Port

See the Stratix 8000 Ethernet Managed Switches Software User Manual, publication 1783-UM003A, for more information on alarm configuration..

For more information about the power and relay connector, see Chapter 4, Cable and Connectors.

For configuring, monitoring, and managing the switch, you can connect a switch to a computer through the console port and the supplied RJ45-to-DB-9 adapter cable. If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, you need to provide an RJ45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. For console-port and adapter-pinout information, see the Two Twisted-pair Straight-through Cable Schematic on page 76.

WARNING

If you connect or disconnect the console cable with power applied to the switch or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

To verify switch operation, perform POST on the switch in a nonhazardous location before installation.

Dual-Purpose Uplink Ports The two dual-purpose uplink ports may each be configured for RJ45 (copper) or SFP (fiber) media types. Only one of these connections in each of the

dual-purpose ports can be active at a time. If both ports are connected, the SFP module port has priority.

You can set the copper RJ45 ports to operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can configure them as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports and can configure the duplex setting.

You can use approved Gigabit (or 100 Mbps) Ethernet SFP modules to establish fiber-optic connections to other switches. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP module slot. You use fiber-optic cables with LC connectors to connect to a fiber-optic SFP module. These ports operate in the full duplex mode only.

10/100 Ports

100BASE-FX Ports

Rear Panel

You can set the 10/100 ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation in compliance with IEEE 802.3-2002. (The default setting is autonegotiate.)

When set for autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 100 m (328 ft.) of the switch.

The IEEE 802.3-2002 100BASE-FX ports (on the 1783-MX08F expansion module) provide full-duplex 100 Mb/s connectivity over multimode fiber (MMF) cables. These ports use a built-in, small-form-factor fixed (SFF) fiber-optic transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. The cable can be up to 2 km (1.24 miles) in length.

The rear panel of the switches and expansion modules have latches for installation on either a DIN rail or a wall, as shown in the following figure. The latches slide outward to position the switch over the DIN rail and slide inward to secure the switch to a DIN rail. The feet must be extended when mounting the switch on heavy-duty (35 x 15mm) DIN rail or they may be extended for improved ventilation when wall mounting.

Chapter 1

Cabling

100BASE-TX traffic requires Category 5 cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cables.

When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, and routers, straight-through cables are normally used. However, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature of the switch is enabled by default and will automatically re-configure the ports to use either straight-through or crossover cable type.

Auto-MDIX Feature

The Auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type (straight-through or crossover) for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly.

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to disable the auto-MDIX feature. See the online help for more information.

		(such as Thomas & Bett part number 10RCR or equivalent).
	If you want to connect a terminal to the switch console port, you need to
	provide an RJ45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. For multimode (MM)
	connections, you can connect a 100BASE-FX port to a port on a target device
	by using dual-LC connector.
	The switch expansion modules are optional, and do not ship with the switch.
	You need to order these separately.
Add Modules to the Switch	The switches can operate as standalone devices with four or eight Fast
	Ethernet ports, respectively. To increase the number of Fast Ethernet ports by

8 or 16, you can connect the optional expansion modules. Depending on the mix of switches and expansion modules, you can have up to 24 Fast Ethernet ports. The expansion modules cannot operate as standalone devices.

Expansion Module Configurations

To increase the number of ports, add one or two expansion modules to the switch. If you are installing only one module, it can be either an 1783-MX08T copper expansion module, or a 1783-MX08F fiber expansion module. If you are installing two modules, the first must be an 1783-MX08T copper expansion module, and the second can be either an 1783-MX08T copper expansion module, or a 1783-MX08F fiber expansion module. You cannot add two 1783-MX08F fiber expansion modules.
