  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction ® The EISC configurable switch in the CTRLink family provides capabilities beyond those found in standard Plug and Play (PnP) switches. Besides conventional features (auto- negotiation, 10/100 Mbps data rate, half- or full-duplex operation, flow control), the EISC has advanced features such as VLAN, trunking, Quality of Service (QoS) and a programmable fault relay that can be connected to a supervisory system.

  • Page 12: Connecting To Power

    Connecting to Power 5.1.2 The EISC requires power via its four-pin connector. The keyed plug is removable and is included with the switch. The applied voltage may be either AC or DC. For power requirements, consult the specifications. Conductors in the range of 12–24 AWG are secured in the plug by screw terminals.
  • Page 13 AC Powered 5.1.2.3 The EISC can be powered by an AC voltage in the range of 8-24 V capable of delivering 12 VA of apparent power. Two auxiliary power supplies are available: The AI-XFMR is for use with 120 VAC. The AI-XFMR-E is for use with 230 VAC. Figure 6 —...

    Connecting to the Configuring Device 5.1.4 If advanced operation is to be implemented, the Console port must be connected via a null-modem cable to a machine that is capable of configuring or monitoring the EISC. Connecting to the Fault Relay 5.1.5 In advanced operation, the Fault Relay is available for use.

    Plug-and-Play Operation LED Indicators (All LEDs are tested each time the EISC is powered up.) Power This LED glows green when power is supplied to the EISC. Fault Relay Status This LED glows green by default, but has no function in Plug-and-Play mode. Each port has one of these LEDs.
  • Page 18: Advanced Operation

    Advanced Operation General Considerations Configuration is accomplished while the EISC is connected to a suitable device — either a computer running the provided EISC Configurator Windows application or a Modbus- capable user device. For monitoring and configuring the EISC with Modbus, refer to Section 9.2.
  • Page 19: Initial Configuration

    Initial Configuration 7.2.1 With a null-modem cable connecting the EISC to a suitable computer, launch the EISC Configurator, select a COM port and then click the “Connect” button. If the EISC Configurator cannot connect to the EISC, the error message of Figure 12 may appear. If this should happen, check that a proper null-modem cable is used for the connection and that suitable power is applied to the EISC.

    Configuring the Port Monitor 7.2.4 Figure 18 displays the features of the Port Monitor which can watch each port for a fault condition specific to that port. The portion of Figure 18 shown outlined in red will be unavailable (dimmed) for models EISC12-100T/FC and EISC12-100T/FT. Figure 18 —...
  • Page 23: Advanced Features

    Advanced Features 7.2.6 Port Trunking 7.2.6.1 Port Trunking allows four ports to be grouped together with the resulting group behaving as a single logical link. Each trunk is constructed of four fixed physical ports — with one status “LED” for each Trunk Group shown in the main screen of the configuration program.
  • Page 24 Port-Based VLAN Function 7.2.6.2 In the Advanced Settings window, port-based (also called Layer 1) VLAN functionality can be selected. The number of VLANs available varies with the EISC model. Model ESIC16-100T supports 14 or 15 VLANs as shown in Figure 22. If 14 VLANs are chosen, each of Ports 1–14 becomes an independent VLAN.
  • Page 25 Global Features (applying to ALL ports) 7.2.6.3 Broadcast Storm Control 7.2.3.6.1 The EISC can enable or disable broadcast storm filtering. When enabled, each port will drop broadcast packets — those with a Destination MAC ID of FF FF FF FF FF FF — after receiving 64 continuous broadcast packets.
  • Page 26: Qos Function

    QoS Function 7.2.7 The EISC can recognize QoS priority information for incoming frames. With this information, each affected frame is assigned an appropriate level of priority. Priority Queues. The EISC has two 7.2.7.1 queues, one for High-priority frames and one for Low-priority frames.
  • Page 27 ToS/DiffServ Priority. IP protocol frames include in their network headers 7.2.7.4 an 8-bit Type of Service (ToS) field for packet prioritization. The first three of these bits specify 8 levels of priority. The next three bits provide the QoS refinement known as Differentiated Services (DiffServ or DS) which efficiently manages traffic by categorizing packets into classes to apply rules for packet delay and discarding.
  • Page 28: Saving Settings To Eeprom

    Saving Settings to EEPROM 7.2.8 After configuring the EISC, the new parameters will apply, but only so long as the switch has power. If it is desired to retain settings in EEPROM for use after a power interruption, choose the “Save Settings to Non-Volatile Memory”...
  • Page 29: Port Signal Strength

    Port Signal Strength (Only for 100 Mbps RJ-45 ports) 7.2.10 The EISC can display the signal strength received at its RJ-45 ports in four graduated steps. Each port display can thereby indicate the robustness of its communication channel. Although an attached device could cause problems, the usual concern with signal strength is the nature of attached twisted-pair cable.
