ROCKETLINX ES8509-XT
Industrial 9-Port Gigabit Managed Switch

INTRODUCTION
The RocketLinx ES8509-XT is an industrial Gigabit managed Ethernet switch
with nine Gigabit ports that include:
• Four 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports
• Five 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 or 100BASE-FX Single-Mode/Mul-Mode
and 1000BASE-X Single-Mode/Mul-Mode SFP transceiver with SFP
Digital Diagnosc Monitoring (DDM)
See the Comtrol web site for detailed product specicaons.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
You can use the following overview to install the ES8509-XT. If you need
more detailed installaon and conguraon informaon, you can refer to
the RocketLinx ES8509-XT User Guide, which is available on the site at hp://
downloads.comtrol.com.
Wiring the Power Inputs
The ES8509-XT provides redundant power, reverse polarity protecon, and
accepts a posive or negave power source. However, PW1 and PW2 must
apply to the same mode.
1
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 both power
supplies depending on your
requirements.
If both power inputs are
connected, the ES8509-XT
is powered from the highest
connected voltage.
2. 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 Relay Output (DO)
The relay output alarm contacts
are on the terminal block
connector on the boom of
the ES8509-XT.
The relay contact supports up
to 1A at 30VDC. Do not apply
voltage and current higher than
the specicaons.
The relay output (DO) is controlled
by the pre-dened operang rules.
To acvate relay output funcon,
refer to the RocketLinx
ES8509-XT User Guide.
Wiring the Digital Input (DI)
The Digital Input (DI) contacts are on the terminal block connector on the
boom of the ES8509-XT. The contacts accept one external DC type signal
input and can be congured to send alert message through Ethernet when
the signal is changed.
The DI accepts DC type signal and supports isolated input circuit with digital
high level input 11VDC to 30VDC and digital low level input 0VDC to 10VDC.
Do not apply a higher voltage than the specicaon; it may cause internal
circuit damage or cause an incorrect DI acon.

Wiring the Ground
Wire the earth ground. To
ensure the system is not
damaged by noise or any
electrical shock, we
recommend that you to
make a direct connecon
between the ES8509-XT and
earth ground.
On the boom side of the ES8509-XT,
there is one earth ground screw. Loosen the earth ground screw with
a screw driver, then ghten the screw aer the earth ground wire is
connected.
Mounng the ES8509-XT
The DIN rail clip is already aached to the ES8509-XT when packaged.
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.
Connecng the RJ45 Ports
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the
ES8509-XT and the other end to the aached networking device. The RJ45
ports support 10/100Mbps half/full-duplex, 1000Mbps full-duplex. All RJ45
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.

Ports 1 through 5 are RJ45/SFP combo ports. The SFP ports support
100/1000Mbps. When the SFP is acve and installed on a combo port, the
corresponding combo RJ45 port is deacvated. For example, if an SFP is
installed and acve on the SFP1 port, the corresponding RJ45 Port 1 becomes
inacve.

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). You should use the following
cables:
• 1000BASE-TX: 4-pair UTP/STP Cat. 5e Cable
• 10/100BASE-TX: 4-pair UTP/STP Cat. 5 Cable
Connecng the Fiber Port
The SFP socket supports opcal ber communicaons that can support a
100Mbps and 1000Mbps SFP Transceiver with Digital Diagnosc Monitor
(DDM) to achieve ber signal quality control. The SFP ports support
100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX standard mini GBIC SFP transceivers.
Connect the ber port on the ES8509-XT to another ber Ethernet device, by
following the gure below. A wrong connecon will cause the ber port to
not work properly. LED acvity is discussed in Connecng the Ethernet Port.
PROGRAMMING THE IP ADDRESS
Congure the IP address using one of the following methods:
• PortVision DX (hp://downloads.comtrol.com)
• 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
ES8509-XT 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
ES8509-XT User Guide.

FEATURE CONFIGURATION
The ES8509-XT provides both in-band and out-band conguraon methods:
Out-band management means that you congure the ES8509-XT using the
RS-232 console cable and the Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the
ES8509-XT without aaching an admin PC to the network. You can also use
out-bound management, if you lost the network connecon to the
ES8509-XT.
6

In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES8509-XT
IP address through the network. You can remotely connect with the
ES8509-XT web interface or a Telnet console and the CLI.
The following procedure uses a web browser to congure ES8509-
XT features. Refer to the RocketLinx ES8509-XT User Guide for other
conguraon methods.
1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the ES8509-XT.
2. Enter admin for both the user name and the password when prompted.
3. Use the web interface to congure your device as needed for your
network.
You can use the help system or the RocketLinx ES8509-XT User Guide for
informaon about conguring ES8509-XT features.
