1. Overview
Designed and produced by Aeronix, Inc. of Melbourne, Florida, the Gigabit Ethernet
Switch (GES) is designed for use in extremely harsh environments including fighter
aircraft.
The GES is a lightly managed switch with twelve 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports, and
two RS-232 management ports. Its rugged monolithic design is intended to operate in
severe environments without the need for forced air cooling.
This document is intended to provide a quick reference to the features and capabilities of
the Aeronix Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GES) hardware.
The part number of the Aeronix 12-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is AE101264-002.

3.3. Interface Port Details
3.3.1. Ethernet Ports
All connections in Table 3-1 that have a white background are Ethernet Port
connections.
3.3.2. Serial and Programming Ports
All connections in Table 3-1 that have an Orange background are Serial Port
connections.
The DEV1 serial port is a dedicated GES Management Processor Maintenance Port.
The DEV2 serial port was designed for future expansion such as an in-band Ethernet to
Serial Bridge.
3.3.3. Management Processor
The GES provides an application processor 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.
This processor is lightly loaded after initialization of the GES allowing customer specified
functions to use most of the available processing power if required.
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
3.3.4. Input Power
The connections shown in Table 3-1 with a Red background are Power Connections.
The input power requirements are as specified in MIL-STD-704A:
•Aircraft, 28 VDC, Category B (curves 2 &3 of Fig. 9)
During normal operations the average power consumption with all 12 ports connected at
1 GB speed is 17 watts. Input current is internally limited to 2 amps.
4. Control Interfaces
4.1. Menu Interface
The GES Menu Interface is used for out-of-band control of the GES via DEV1. It
provides the ability to customize configurations such as port mirroring, VLAN’s and
status monitoring.

GES – Quick Start Guide
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
Page 5 of 11
4.2. In-Band Interface
The GES In-Band Interface is used for control of the GES via an attached Ethernet
device. It provides the ability to execute and retrieve BIT data, retrieve GES status, and
processor reprogramming.
The GES management processor supports ARP, ICMP (ping), and UDP
communications. UDP traffic is supported on port 3500.
5. Switch Management Capability
The following list is a sub-set of the capabilities of the Switch IC:
•Egress tagging/untagging - selectable per port or by 802.1Q VLAN ID
•Port Based VLANs - supported in any combination or 802.1 VLAN support for
4096 VIDs
•Port States and BPDU handling for spanning tree
•802.1X Source MAC address authentication
•Quality of Service - switch architecture provides non-blocking switching in all
traffic environments
•Link Aggregation (802.3ad) - allows two or more links to be trunked to increase
the total bandwidth and provide a failsafe if one of the links fails
•A high speed, non-blocking, QoS switch fabric with support for four traffic classes
based on:
oPort
oIEEE 802.1p
oIPv4’s TOS or Diff-Serv
oIPv6’s Traffic Class
o802.1Q VID
oDA MAC address
oSA MAC Address
•Back-pressure flow control on half-duplex ports
•Pause-frame flow control on full-duplex ports
•Lookup engine supports 16384 MAC address entries with learning and aging
•Auto-MDI/MDIX and polarity correction
Aeronix can create custom loads for the Management Processor that will allow increased
GES management functionality and/or customer defined custom applications that would
be hosted on this processor.

6. 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.
Previous versions of the GES had shorter mounting screws. The current (longer) screws
can be easily recognized because they are Allen head screws with a black oxide coating.
The rectangular mounting pattern for the attachment points is 3.55” x 7.71” as shown in
Figure 6-1.The overall external dimensions are 8.25” L x 5.15” W x 1.38” H.
Figure 6-1: External Dimensions
The Center of Gravity (CG) is also shown in Figure 9-1. It is indicated by the letters “CG”
before the dimension.
7. Indicators
The GES has one green LED on the front panel labeled PWR.
This LED is illuminated when input power is applied to the GES.
