ROCKETLINX ES7506
Industrial 6-Port Managed PoE Switch

INTRODUCTION
The RocketLinx 7506 is designed for industrial PoE applicaons where the
power source is not conveniently located, such as IP surveillance or wireless
access points.
See the Comtrol website for complete product specicaons.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
You can use the following overview to install the ES7506. If you need more
detailed installaon and conguraon informaon, you can refer to the
RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide , which is available on the RocketLinx CD or
you can download the latest version.
Wiring the Power Inputs
The ES7506 provides redundant power, reverse polarity protecon, and
accepts a posive or negave power source but PW1 and PW2 must apply
to the same mode. The power supplies should be UL Listed with a minimum
output rang of 24-55VDC and at 2.5A.

1. Insert the posive and negave wires into PW+ and PW- contacts (PW1
and PW2). You can connect a single power supply or two power supplies
depending on your requirements.
2. If both power inputs are connected, the ES7506 is powered from the
highest connected voltage. The unit can be congured to signal an alarm
for loss of power in either PW1 or PW2.
3. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from being
loosened.
Power should be disconnected
from the power supply before
connecng it to the switch.
Otherwise, your screwdriver
blade can inadvertently
short your terminal
connecons to the grounded
enclosure.
Wiring the Alarm Relay Output
The alarm relay output or digital
output (DO) contacts are on the
terminal block connector on the side of the ES7506. The power supply
should be UL Listed with a minimum output rang of 2.5A at 24-55VDC.
The relay contacts are energized (open) for normal operaon and close
under faulty condions. Faulty condions can include power failure, Ethernet
port link break, or other predened events congurable in the ES7506 user
interface. To acvate the alarm relay output funcon, refer to the
RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide .

Grounding the E7506
Wire the earth ground to ensure the system is not damaged by noise or any
electrical shock, we recommend that you make a direct connecon between
the ES7506 and earth ground.
Using a screw driver, loosen the earth ground screw on the side of the
ES7506 and then ghten the screw aer the earth ground wire is connected.
Mounng the ES7506
Use the appropriate procedure to mount the ES7506 on the wall or a DIN rail.
Connecng RJ45 Ports
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the ES7506
and the other end to the aached networking device. The Ethernet ports
support 10/100Mbps half/full-duplex. All ports auto-detect the signal from
connected devices to negoate the link speed and duplex mode. Auto
MDI/MDIX allows users to connect another switch, hub, or workstaon
without changing straight through or crossover cable.
Link/Act LEDs are lit to indicate trac and link status, see the LEDs subsecon
for more informaon.
3
Attaching the ES7506 to the Wall
Use the hook holes located at the corners of
the wall-mount plate to mount the ES7506.
DIN Rail Mounting
Two DIN rail clips and four screws were shipped
with the ES7506. Use the screws to attach the
DIN rail clip to the wall-mount plate.

4
Always make sure that the cables between the
switches and aached devices (for example,
switch, hub, or workstaon) are less than 100
meters (328 feet).
• 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
• 100BASE-TX: Category 5 cable
• IEEE 802.3af: Category 5 cable
PROGRAMMING THE IP
ADDRESS
Congure the IP address using one of the
following methods:
• PortVision DX (available on the RocketLinx CD shipped with the product)
• Web browser
• Telnet
• Command Line Interface (CLI) using the RS-232 console cable
The easiest way to congure a stac IP address for your network in the
ES7506 is to use a Windows host and PortVision DX (see below). For
informaon about using other conguraon methods, refer to the
RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide.
Note: Oponally, you can use NetVision if you are accustomed to using NetVision.
PortVision DX is replacing NetVision. NetVision is not documented in the
RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide.
The following procedure uses PortVision DX to program network sengs.
1. Install PortVision DX on a host system with a Windows operang
system. If you need assistance installing PortVision DX, see the
RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide.
2. Start PortVision DX. PortVision DX can be started from Start --> All
Programs --> Comtrol --> PortVision DX.
3. Click the Scan buon.
4. Select the Comtrol product families that you want to locate and click the
Scan buon.

7. Oponally, enter the ES7506 serial number, which displays a friendly
device name in the Device List pane on the main page.
8. Select DHCP IP or Stac IP for the IP Mode.
• If you select DHCP IP, go to Step 9.
• If you select Stac IP, enter an IP address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway value for your network.
9. Oponally, select the appropriate Network Topology, which is an
informaonal eld.
10. Click the Apply Changes buon.
11. Click Close to return to the main screen.
You are now ready to congure the ES7506 features.

FEATURE CONFIGURATION
The ES7506 provides both in-band and out-band conguraon methods:
Out-band management means that you congure the ES7506 using the
RS-232 console cable and the Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the
ES7506 without aaching an admin PC to the network. You can also use
out-band management, if you lost the network connecon to the ES7506.
In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES7506
IP address through the network. You can remotely connect with the ES7506
Java applet web interface or a Telnet console and the CLI.
The following procedure uses a web browser to congure ES7506 features.
Refer to the RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide for other conguraon methods.
1. If necessary, install the latest version of the Java Runme Environment,
which is required to run the web management interface.
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the ES7506.
3. Click Run when Java prompts you to run the applet.
4. Enter admin for both the user name and the password when prompted.
5. Use the web interface to congure your device as needed for your
network.
You can use the help system or the RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide for
informaon about conguring ES7506 features.
