Page 5: Overview
Aeronix Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GES) hardware. The part number of the Aeronix 12-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is AE101264-002. 2. Block Diagram The basic functional blocks within the GES and their basic interactions are shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1: GES Block Diagram... -
Page 6: Electrical Connections
GES – Users Manual 3. Electrical Connections The GES has two electrical connectors, J1 and J2. 3.1. J1 Connector J1 is a 100 pin M38999 Series II connector, Part Number MS27508E22B35P. An example mating cable connector for J1 is Part Number MS27473E22B35S. -

J1-26,77 3.4.3. Management Processor The GES provides an ARM 9 processor running at 96MHz for both internal and customer specified functions. This processor is in-band allowing control by any device on the Ethernet network that is connected to the GES. -
Page 9: Input Power
GES – Users Manual The primary purpose of this processor is to: • Initialize the Ethernet Switch IC for GES default operation • PBIT and CBIT • Customer specific functions if required 3.4.4. Input Power The connections shown in Table 3-1 with a Red background are Power Connections. -
Page 10: Port Details
4.1. Ethernet Port Mapping In its factory default configuration, all twelve Ethernet ports of the GES are configured identically. When programming custom configurations into the GES, the External-Port numbers map to the Switch’s MAC and Phy Port numbers as defined in Table 4-1. -
Page 11: Bootloader
The smaller bank is dedicated to the bootloader. This allows upgrading of the GES application software in the field over the network. Immediately after power up the bootloader allows nine seconds to begin a code load before it jumps to the application that executes out of the main (larger) bank of flash. -
Page 12: Menu Interface

IP_address[0] and IP_mask[0]. The secondary IP and net mask are shown as IP_address[1] and IP_mask[1]. The GES supports port mirroring. This allows monitoring of traffic going in or out of any of the ports. The mirror_destination is the external port number where the mirrored traffic is directed. - Page 15 6.3.4.3. ‘p’ – set primary IP address and netmask The GES will prompt for the new IP address (saved as IP_address[0]). It expects it in dotted notation followed by a carriage return. Any characters other than 0-9, a period or a carriage return cause the update to be aborted.

Page 19: Management Processor Ethernet Communications
7.1. Network Communications Supported The GES management processor supports ARP, ICMP (ping), and UDP communications. UDP traffic is supported on port 3500. All fields are sent in network byte order. This means that fields larger than a byte will be read and written using standard access routines. These routines are host-to-network-short “htons()”, host-to-network-long “htonl()”, network-to-host-short “ntohs()”... -

Secondary Netmask (LSW) Direction: To GES. Not yet supported. This packet allows modification of the GES configuration stored in flash. a – When set, this bit indicates that the Mirror Dest should be updated with the contents of this packet. -
Page 27: Ges Programming Response (Opcode 6)
This packet is generated in response to a GES Programming Command (Opcode 3). By sending a GES Programming Command (Opcode 3) with the ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ bits all reset, the current GES configuration can be queried without effecting the current configuration. -

Page 29: Erase Non-Boot-Bank (Nbb) Flash
Opcode (105) Direction: From bootloader. This is the first GES response by the bootloader to an Erase NBB Flash UDP message. It lets the loader know that the bootloader has received the message and the loader must wait for the Erase NBB Flash Completed message before it can proceed. -
Page 30: Program Nbb Data
The loader sends between 1 and 512 words at a time to the bootloader to program into the NBB flash. The Offset is the byte offset into the NBB flash of the first data word of this packet. The GES only supports writing words at a time so this offset should always be even. 7.4.6. -
Page 31: Finished Programming
This packet is sent by loader to let bootloader know that all data words have been programmed. This causes the bootloader to perform a CRC32 of the GES application in the NBB flash. If it verifies the bootloader will send a Finished Programming Acknowledge UDP message and then launches the GES application from the NBB flash. -
Page 32: Switch Management Capabilities
Ethernet port on the Switch IC. It is capable of running a TCP/IP stack so that it can be an active participant on a network serviced by the GES. Aeronix can create custom loads for this processor that will allow increased GES management functionality and/or customer defined custom applications that would be hosted on this processor. -
Page 33: Hardware Mounting
GES – Users Manual 9. Hardware Mounting The GES weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces and is mounted via its four 10-32 captive screws. The recommended clearance for the mounting hardware below the mounting surface is 0.750”. The GES mounting screws extend 0.665” below the bottom of the chassis. -

Seller. The GES does not contain any user serviceable parts. Any modification or use other than consistent with the intended design shall void the warranty. Owner must contact Aeronix at (321) 984-1671 and be issued a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number before returning a unit for warranty repair. - Page 36 GES – Users Manual A device connected to the GES can connect to other devices on the network but cannot communicate with the GES’s Management Processor. Problem: If the affected device has a MAC address where the last two bytes concatenated are less than or equal to 1500 (0x5DC), the IP stack in the Management Processor will discard the packet.
