1 Overview

Introduction

The H3C WX3000 Series Unified Switches are networking products wholly developed by Hangzhou

H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C) that incorporate the functions of WLAN

access controllers and Gigabit Ethernet switches. The WX3000 series unified switches include the

WX3024, WX3010 and WX3008 unified switches (hereinafter referred to as the WX3000 series,

WX3024, WX3010 and WX3008, respectively). The WX3000 series provides Gigabit ports, supports

power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) and 802.11a/b/g/n series access points (APs), with the maximum

output power of 25 W per port. Together with the Fit APs developed by H3C, the WX3000 series can

implement wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments while providing rich data switching features. The

WX3000 series is the ideal solution to the provisioning of integrated wireline and wireless access for

small- and medium-sized enterprises and branches of large-sized enterprises.

PoE Power Supply

The WX3000 series supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) to provide –48 VDC supply to attached

powered devices, such as IP phones, WLAN APs, security and Bluetooth APs, through twisted pair

cables.

Only the H3C-recommended external PoE power supply can be used as the DC input, rather than the

–48 VDC power supply of the equipment room, which may cause device damage.

z As a power sourcing equipment (PSE), the WX3000 series supports the IEEE 802.3af standard

while being compatible with some PoE powered devices that do not comply with the 802.3af

standard.

z The WX3000 series provides power supply through fixed electrical Ethernet ports, with the

maximum power transmission distance of 100 meters (328.08 ft.).

z Each Ethernet port of the WX3000 series provides a maximum of 25 W output power to the

attached PoE powered device. In the case of AC input, the maximum output power with full load of

the WX3024 is 370 W, and that of the WX3010 and WX3008 is 125 W; in the case of RPS input, the

maximum output power of the WX3024 is 25 W × 24 = 600 W (Note that the RPS output power

should be at least 700 W).

Fixed Interfaces

Console port

The WX3000 series provides an RS-232 asynchronous serial console port, which can be used to

connect a background terminal (a PC, for example) for system debugging, configuration, maintenance,

management, and software loading.

As shown in

Figure 1-9, the console cable is an 8-core cable with an RJ-45 connector at one end for the

console port of the device, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for the 9-pin serial port of the

configuration terminal.

Ethernet interfaces

1) Introduction

z The WX3024 provides twenty-four 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports and four 1000Base-X SFP

ports.

Each SFP port and the corresponding 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port jointly form a Combo interface.

Only one of the two ports of a Combo interface can be used at a time.

Table 1-9 lists the SFP and

electrical Ethernet ports that form the Combo interfaces.

z The WX3010 provides eight 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports and two 1000Base-X SFP ports.

The electrical Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing. The working modes of an

Ethernet port at different speeds are shown in

Table 1-10.

10 Mbps (auto-sensing) Half/full duplex auto-negotiation

100 Mbps (auto-sensing)

Half/full duplex auto-negotiation

1000 Mbps (auto-sensing) Full duplex auto-negotiation

z The WX3008 provides eight 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports.

The electrical Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing. The working modes of an

Ethernet port at different speeds are shown in

Table 1-10.

The electrical Ethernet port status LEDs are above the RJ-45 sockets. The triangular pointer above

each LED indicates which port the LED is for.

z The optical Ethernet ports of the WX3000 series support 100/1000 Mbps full duplex. The optical

port status LEDs are above the 1000Base-X SFP ports, each indicating the status of the

corresponding optical port.

The support for the speed of optical Ethernet ports depends on the model of the optical transceivers.

2) RJ-45 connectors

The 10/100/1000M electrical Ethernet ports of the WX3000 series work with Category-5 twisted pair

cables with RJ-45 connectors, as shown in

Figure 1-10.

Figure 1-10 RJ-45 connector

3) LC connectors

As an indispensable passive component in a fiber communication system, a fiber connector is mainly

used for the removable connection between optical tunnels. This facilitates the testing and maintenance

1-10

of the optical system and makes optical inter-connections more flexible.

Currently, the WX3000 series supports only LC connectors.

Figure 1-11 LC connector

z When connecting a networking device using optical fibers, first make sure that the fiber connectors

will work with the optical transceivers.

z Before connecting fiber cables, make sure that the optical power of the receiver end does not

exceed the upper threshold of the receiving optical power of the optical transceiver; otherwise, the

optical transceiver may be damaged. For the optical power specifications of the receiver end, refer

to Appendix A.

Transceiver Modules

The WX3000 series supports the following optical transceivers:

z Optical transceivers are optional components and are not supplied with the WX3000 series. Use

H3C-recommended optical transceivers. For details about the technical specifications of SFP

optical transceiver, refer to Appendix A.

z The WX3024 supports all XFP optical transceivers except those requiring –5.2 V power supply.

z The BIDI optical transceivers must be used in pairs. For example, if an SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI

is used at one end, an SFP-GE-LX-SM1490-BIDI must be used at the other end. The same is true

for FE BIDI modules.

RPS

When the AC power supply fails, an RPS unit can feed power to maintain the normal operation of the

system.

z The WX3010 and WX3008 do not support the RPS unit.

z An RPS unit is an optional accessory to be separately orderly if needed.

z For the RPS unit installation information, refer to section Connecting the RPS Cable on page 3-19.

z The WX3010 and WX3008 do not support DC power input.

z DC power cables are optional accessories to be separately order if needed.

z The DC power cables should be shorter than 3 meters (9.84 ft.) to minimize voltage attenuation.

Fans

The WX3024 is equipped with five fans: two fans for heat dissipation of the main board and three fans

on the power module for heat dissipation of the power supply system.
