Chapter 1: About the ES4524M-PoE Overview The ES4524M-PoE is an intelligent Layer 2 PoE switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, two of which are combination ports that are shared with two SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 23-24). The switch includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band management access.
About the ES4524M-PoE a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network. Power-over-Ethernet Capability The switch’s 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable.
Description of Hardware Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected † automatically SFP Slots The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with two of the RJ-45 ports (ports 23-24).

Application Examples The ES4524M-PoE is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below.
Network Planning workstations, 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users, and 1 Gbps full-duplex connections to servers. In addition, connected IP phones and wireless access points are receiving PoE power from the switch. Power-over-Ethernet Devices 10/100 Mbps Full Duplex Servers Workstations Workstations 1 Gbps...
A 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can be used for a high-speed connection between floors in the same building. For long-haul connections, a 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceiver can be used to reach another site up to 70 kilometers away. The figure below illustrates three ES4524M-PoE units interconnecting multiple segments with fiber cable. Headquarters...
Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site ES4524M-PoE units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. • The site should: • be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.

Mounting Mounting An ES4524M-PoE unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: •...
Installing the Switch Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Be sure to secure the lower rack-mounting screws first to prevent the brackets being bent by the weight of the switch. Figure 3-3 Installing the Switch in a Rack If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source”...
Installing an SFP Transceiver Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. If installing a single switch only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter.
Installing the Switch Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: Insert the power cable plug directly into the socket located at the back of the device. Figure 3-6 Power Socket Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source. Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord.
Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The ES4524M-PoE units are designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional SFP transceivers.
Making Network Connections See Appendix B: for further information on cabling. Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
Fiber Optic SFP Devices Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet.
Making Network Connections Caution: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
Connectivity Rules Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

Troubleshooting In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Crossover Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an “X” (indicating MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (which indicates MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support...
