Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The ES3526S is a 24-port switch designed for delivering Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) for high-speed Internet access. Deployed at the service provider’s central office (CO), the switch supports up to 24 subscribers via 100 Mbps single-fiber downlink connections to the remote media converter installed at the customer’s premises.
Introduction Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. Switching Method The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
Description of Hardware Description of Hardware 100BASE-FX SC Fiber Ports The switch provides 24 SC fiber ports on the front of the switch. Each single-fiber SC connector supports a 100BASE-FX full-duplex link to a subscriber’s media converter unit. The switch’s fiber transceivers use Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to achieve bi-directional operation (1550 nm transmit, 1310 nm receive) over a single optical fiber.
The base unit also includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following table. Port and Link Activity ES3526S Figure 1-2 Port LEDs...

Optional Redundant Power Supply The switch supports an optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS) that can supply power to the switch if the internal power supply should fail.
Features and Benefits • Up to 255 IEEE 802.1Q-based tagged VLANs • Support for Private VLAN traffic segmentation • Support for bandwidth management rate limiting • IEEE 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) through four priority queues for each port with Head-of-Line blocking prevention Performance •...
The ES3526S and Media Converter provide an ideal FTTH system, allowing a service provider to extend an Ethernet connection over optical fiber directly to a subscriber.

Application Examples Uplink SFP Connections The ES3526S switch provides 24 downlink fiber ports and two combination SFP/ RJ-45 uplink ports. The 1000BASE-T ports can provide a trunked high-bandwidth connection to a core switch or router at the CO. Besides balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the additional port provides redundancy by taking over the load if the other port in the trunk fails.
Network Planning Management Connections The ES3526S has one dedicated RJ-45 management port on its front panel. This is the only port on the switch that allows in-band management access. This 10/100BASE-TX port can be connected to the CO Ethernet LAN for network management.
Application Examples Making Private VLAN Connections The ES3526S can be configured for up to 255 VLANs. Also, the switch supports Private VLANs that allow traffic isolation for ports within a VLAN and restrict forwarding to only designated uplink ports. Each subscriber downlink port (or ports) can be configured into its own Private VLAN, so that traffic is forwarded only to and from the switch’s 1000BASE-T uplink...
Network Planning Application Notes Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub, unless it is actually required to solve a problem.
Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment. Package Contents • ES3526S Fast Ethernet Switch • Four adhesive foot pads • Bracket Mounting Kit containing two brackets and four screws for attaching the brackets to the switch •...
Installing the Switch Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following equipment available: • Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these are not included • A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used) Mounting A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf.

Connecting to a Power Source Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located at the back of the device. 12V 13A Figure 3-5 Power Receptacle Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket.
Installing the Switch Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.
Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The ES3526S switch is designed to provide high-speed Internet access to individual subscribers through its 100BASE-FX single-fiber downlink connections. Two combination 1000BASE-T/SFP ports provide the uplink connection from the switch to other switches or routers at the central office. One dedicated 100BASE-TX management port is provided for connection to an Ethernet switch or hub for management access to the switch.
Making Network Connections Connecting to PCs, Hubs, and Switches 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. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
Fiber Optic Devices Fiber Optic Devices Each single-fiber SC connector on the switch’s front panel connects directly to a media converter device at the subscriber’s premises. The switch’s single-fiber ports require one strand of 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an SC connector at the switch end. An optional 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver may be used for uplink connections from the switch to other network devices at the CO.
Making Network Connections Single Fiber SC connector Figure 4-2 Making SC Port Connections b. For SFP connections, connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.
Connectivity Rules Connectivity Rules When building your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. 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.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Cause Action Power indicator is AC power is • Check AC connections between the switch, the disconnected or power cord, and the wall outlet. internal power supply • The internal power supply may have failed. may have failed Contact your local dealer for assistance.
Troubleshooting Power and Cooling Problems If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX and 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. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Cables 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
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” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. You must connect all four wire pairs to support Gigabit Ethernet, as shown in the following diagram.
