INTRODUCTION
The RocketLinx ES8108 series of industrial Ethernet switches include the
following models:
• ES8108 with eight 10/100BASE-TX ports
• ES8108F with six 10/100BASE-TX and two 100BASE-FX (Single-Mode or
Mul-Mode ber) ports
• ES8108-XT with eight 10/100BASE-TX ports and an extended
temperature range
• ES8108F-XT with six 10/100BASE-TX, two 100BASE-FX (Single-Mode or
Mul-Mode ber) ports and an extended temperature range
The dierent ES8108 models are simply referred to as the ES8108 unless there
is model-specic informaon.
Refer to the Comtrol web site for specicaon informaon.
ES8108-XT/ES8108F-XT IN CID2 ENVIRONMENTS
The ES8108-XT and ES8108F-XT are open-type and are to be installed in an
enclosure suitable for the environment and only accessible with a tool.
The ES8108-XT/ES8108F-XT is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A,
B, C, and D or non-hazardous locaons only.
WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD – Substuon of any components in the
ES8108-XT or ES8108F-XT may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
WIRING THE POWER INPUTS
The ES8108 provides redundant power, reverse polarity protecon and
accepts a posive or negave power source. If using redundant power
supplies, they must be in the same mode.
Use this procedure to wire the power:
1. Insert the posive and negave wires into the + and - contacts on the
PW1 or PW2 on the terminal block connector.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from being loosened.
Note: 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.

GROUNDING THE ES8108
There is an earth ground screw on the boom of the ES8108. Connect the
earth ground screw of the switch to a grounding surface to ensure safety and
prevent noise.

WIRING THE ALARM RELAY OUTPUT
The ES8108 has a built-in alarm-relay for port link and power events
nocaons. The relay contacts are normally open and remain open when
there is no failure event. The relay contacts close when there is a failure
event to nofy.
The failure events are selectable and enabled using the DIP switch on the
ES8108. The relay contacts of the ES8108 are rated for a maximum of 0.5A at
24VDC.
1. Insert posive and negave wires into V+ and V-.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from coming loose.
WARNING - Exposure to some chemicals may degrade the sealing properes
of materials used in the sealed relay

MOUNTING THE SWITCH
Mount the ES8108 on the DIN rail using the DIN rail clip that is aached to
the rear of the unit.
1. Insert the upper end of DIN rail clip into the back of DIN rail track from
its upper side.
2. Lightly push the boom of DIN rail clip into the track.
3. Verify that the DIN rail clip is ghtly aached on the track.
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
Connecng the Ethernet Ports
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the ES8108
and the other end to the aached device. All Ethernet ports support auto
MDI/MDIX funconality.
Always make sure that the cables between the switches and aached devices
(for example - switch, hub, or workstaon) are no more than 100 meters
(328 feet). The cable must meet EIA/TIA-568 100-ohm specicaons:
• 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5
• 100BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e
Connecng the Fiber Ports (ES8108F/ES8108F-XT)
Connect the ber port to another ber
Ethernet device using the following diagram.
An improper connecon will cause the ber
port to not work properly. The ber port is a
standard or square connector (SC).

PACKET FORWARDING ABILITY
The ES8108 features a packet ltering funcon for broadcast packet control
protecon and Quality of Service (QoS). Both features can provide higher
performance in a crowded network through trac ltering and priorizaon.
Broadcast Control
The ES8108 begins to drop broadcast packets with DA (desnaon address)
equal to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF if the received broadcast packets are more than
the threshold - 198 packets per second at 100Mbps or 19 packets per second
at 10Mbps link speed. All ports are enabled with this funcon by default to
provide beer network performance and prevent congeson caused by the
ooding of broadcast packets.
Quality of Service
The ES8108 supports the frame type priority funcon, where high priority
packets will be agged to a high priority queue to eciently use more
bandwidth. The rao of bandwidth of the high priority to the low priority
queue is 8:1. Aer 8 high priority packets are processed, then 1 low priority
packet is processed. The ES8108 can examine the specic bits of VLAN Tag
and TCP/IP TOS of IPv4 and IPv6.
