  • Page 9 The ESX-1320 and ESX-1380 Ethernet Workgroup Switches, shown in Figure 1-1, are standalone network switch devices. Except for the difference in the network media supported (ESX-1320, RJ45 Twisted Pair ports and ESX-1380, Multimode Fiber Optic ST ports), the two ESX switches are identical in operation.
  • Page 10: Controls And Indicators

    The ESX complies to the PLUS Architecture with Dual Intel i960 RISC processors and provides advanced management capabilities such as SNMP, RMON, and DLM. The ESX provides the option of using Cabletron Systems Distributed LAN Monitor (DLM) software to locally poll and monitor any SNMP or IP device. ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide...
  • Page 11 Features Connectivity The ESX-1320 switch connects to the external Ethernet networks or workstations through the 12 standard RJ45 connectors on its front panel. The RJ45 connectors (interface ports) support Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling at lengths up to 100 meters.
  • Page 12: Document Conventions

    The ESX supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), and RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.

  • Page 58 • Impedance: Cabletron Systems 10BASE-T products work on twisted pair cable with 75 to 165 ohms impedance. Unshielded twisted pair cables typically have an impedance of between 85 and 110 ohms. You can also use Shielded Twisted Pair cables, such as IBM Type 1 cable, but keep in mind that this cable has an impedance of 150 ohms.
