NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The ECS3510-52T switch is a intelligent switch with 48 10/100BASE-T ports, and four Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of an RJ-45 port and an SFP transceiver slot. There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
| Introduction HAPTER Overview Figure 2: Rear Panel Console Power Socket Port WITCH RCHITECTURE This switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
| Introduction HAPTER Description of Hardware ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE 10/100BASE-T P ORTS This switch contains 48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex. Because all ports on both switches support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

Blinking indicates activity.
| Introduction HAPTER Application Examples OWER UPPLY OCKET There is one standard power socket on the rear panel of the switch for the AC power cord. Figure 4: Power Supply Socket Power Socket PPLICATION XAMPLES This switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.

Figure 14: Making Twisted-Pair Connections If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet.
| Making Network Connections HAPTER Twisted-Pair Devices ETWORK IRING ONNECTIONS Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel.
| Making Network Connections HAPTER Fiber Optic SFP Devices SFP D IBER PTIC EVICES An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
| Making Network Connections HAPTER Connectivity Rules Figure 16: Making Fiber Port Connections As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LH fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control.
| Making Network Connections HAPTER Connectivity Rules Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e specification includes test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

UDP packets are delivered just like IP packets – connection-less datagrams that may be discarded before reaching their targets. UDP is useful when TCP would be too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
