Introduction The XES-2T6 is a six plus two port Gigabit Ethernet switch with two ports being aggregated to a high throughput, redundant trunk link. The six other ports are individually assignable to groups (IEEE 802.1Q VLANs) that may participate in completely independent networks that do not interfere with each other. Thanks to the graphic OLED display, the encoder knob and a push button for each of the six configurable ports, the switch is intuitive to setup and the config- uration is done in next to no time.
Typical Application Unpacking The XES-2T6 is packaged in a cardboard box including the following items: • The device. • This user manual. Safety Information It is essential that you read and understand this manual before operating the device and that you follow the instructions given below closely when you set up, connect and use the XES-2T6.

• Do not expose the device to rain or moisture. • Do not operate the device if any cover or component is missing, damaged or deformed. • Refer any service operation not described in this manual to Swisson. • Provide unrestricted airflow around the device.

USB type B connector for firmware updates. Mains Connections The user must supply suitable power cables. He may then either hard-wire the power cables to the building’s electrical installation, providing an easily accessible power on/off switch close to the device, or install on the power cables a grounding-type (earthed) mains plug that is suitable for the local power outlets, following the power plug manufac- turer’s instructions.

Status LEDs The XES-2T6 has three status LEDs (8a-c, 9a-c, 12a-c) for each of the network ports plus a group colour LED for each of the numbered Ethernet ports (12d) and a group colour LED for the aggregated trunk ports (10). Further, there is also a status LED for each of the power supplies.
Trunk ports or inter switch ports on the other hand are used to interconnect switches that are compatible with the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard. This allows a network formed by a group or VLAN (virtual LAN) to span several switches. Aggregated Trunk Ports The two aggregated trunk ports (6) and (7) form one logical network link.

By keeping the [Cancel] button pressed for at least two seconds, you can always navigate to the home screen. From the home screen, the menu is launched by simply pushing the [OK] button. The following notation is used to describe locations in the menu: Home > Menu > Sub menu > … For example, the manual could say “navigate to Home >...

Use the encoder to highlight a group or choose the top most item if the port is to be used as an inter switch port. Once the appropriate item is highlighted, push the encoder knob (press [OK]) to apply the setting.

Then push [OK] to apply the edited number or press [Cancel] to discard the changes. Changing the Group Colour Choose “Colour” and press [OK] to change the group colour. A selection of colours will appear. The currently config- ured colour of the group is marked with a bullet point on the left. While this menu is shown on the OLED display, all the group colour LEDs (item (12d) on page 7) light in the currently highlighted colour.

Repeat the above steps for the remaining characters. Then, press [Cancel] to finish inserting characters. Press [Cancel] again to quit the editor. Press [OK] to store the changes or press [Cancel] to discard all changes. Removing a Group Remove a group by choosing “> Delete” with the encoder wheel in the group configuration menu (see Adding, Remov- ing and Editing Groups on page 12) and pressing the encoder knob.
Firmware Updates Firmware updates will be provided on the product page on the Swisson website. For updating the firmware, a PC with Windows (Vista or later) and a USB A to B cable (USB printer cable) is required. Please refer to the separate documen-...
