About the Switches

The Stratix 8000 Ethernet Managed Switches provide a rugged, easy-to-use,

secure switching infrastructure for harsh environments. You can connect these

switches to network devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. In

industrial environments you can connect any Ethernet-enabled industrial

communication devices including programmable logic controllers (PLCs),

human-machine interfaces (HMIs), drives, sensors, and I/O.

You can mount the switches on a DIN rail in an industrial enclosure, on a wall,

or panel.

The switch front panel contains the ports, the status indicators, and the power

and relay connectors. The following figures show the 1783-MS10T switch and

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Console Port

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.

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.

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.

Publication 1783-UM002C-EN-P - April 2009 13

Chapter 1

10/100 Ports

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.

100BASE-FX Ports

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.

Rear Panel

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.
