EISB Series
A Line of Managed and Unmanaged Ethernet Switching Hubs
INSTALLATION GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The EISB Series of Ethernet switches give the user a choice between a simple,
easy-to-install Plug and Play device or a sophisticated instrument with several
advanced features for the discriminating network professional. Each of the 24
models in the series operates in extreme temperatures while offering a choice
of mounting, port count, media support and method of powering.
To optimize speed and throughput, some functions are automatically negotiated:
Each twisted-pair port has Auto-MDIX and automatically optimizes its data
rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The data rate of fiber ports is fixed at 100 Mbps.
Each port negotiates flow control—supporting the PAUSE function for full-
duplex segments and the backpressure scheme for half-duplex segments.
All units offer non-blocking wire-speed operation with a maximum data rate
of 148,810 frames per second for 100 Mbps Ethernet on all ports at full duplex.
Copper ports are wired MDI-X (internal crossover) for attaching NICs via
straight-through cables. Non-fiber models also have an uplink port (1X) wired so
only a straight-through cable is needed for cascading switches.
All devices operate from wide-range, low-voltage AC or DC sources — and
redundant power connections are available for backup considerations. They
come with the ability for either DIN-rail or panel mounting. The front panel
features bicolor LEDs for power; link status, activity, and data rate of each
port. Managed models include bicolor Status LEDs.
For managed switch features, consult the Software Manual.

INSTALLATION
Mounting
The EISB is designed for mounting in an industrial enclosure or wiring closet
using either set of the provided mounting hardware listed below. Important:
Provide at least 25 mm of heat venting space on each side of the unit.
TS-35 DIN-rail Mounting Panel Mounting
DIN rail clip Panel mounting bracket
DIN rail clip support bracket 4-40 screws, flat-head (4)
4-40 screws, pan-head (2)
For quick snap-mounting to 35 mm DIN rail, a reinforced DIN-rail clip is pre-
attached to the back of the EISB enclosure with two #4-40 pan-head screws.
If the clip is removed, the EISB can be panel-mounted by extending the top
and bottom brackets which are shipped in retracted position. The extended
brackets can then anchor the EISB to a wall or other flat vertical surface with
two #8 pan-head screws (not provided). The left illustration of Figure 5
shows a rear view of the EISB with brackets in retracted position. The right
illustration of Figure 5 shows the brackets extended and secured to the EISB
enclosure with the same screws used in retracted position.

Cabling Considerations
When attaching signal cables to the EISB, Table 1 should be considered.

Fiber 100BASE-FX
100 Mbps 1300 nm, single-mode Full-Duplex : 15 km (49213 ft)
Half-Duplex :
412 m (1352 ft)
Table 1 — Cabling Considerations
Observe in Table 1 that segment distance is very limited when using copper
media — regardless of data rate. Although 10BASE-T links can use Category
3, 4 or 5 cable, 100BASE-TX segments must use Category 5 or higher.
A popular choice for improved distance is multimode fiber — which also gives
good electromagnetic noise immunity and optimum protection from lightning
strikes. Considerable distance can be achieved in full-duplex mode — and the
greatest distance can be realized in full-duplex mode with single-mode fiber.
Note that half-duplex operation yields a modest, fixed distance which does not
vary with the type of fiber in use. This is because half-duplex mode is limited
by the collision domain — irrespective of the length and type of fiber.
EISB switches offer three types of field connectors. Copper ports accept RJ-45
modular plugs. Two choices of fiber connectors are available: ST and SC.

Powering
The EISB requires low-voltage power (AC or DC) via a four-pin removable
keyed connector. Power conductors can be stranded (16–18 AWG) or solid
(16–22 AWG). Consult the Specifications section for power requirements.
The various power options are explained below.
NOTE: This device is intended for use with Class 2 circuits.
DC Powered
The EISB accepts a voltage range of 10–36 VDC and draws a current value
commensurate with 20-watt power consumption. Power conductors should be
sized accordingly. Ground is directly connected to zero volts and the
equipment chassis is isolated from zero volts. The input connections are
reverse-polarity protected.
Figure 6 — DC Powered
Redundant DC Powered
Redundant diode-isolated DC power inputs are provided so the EISB can
operate despite the loss of primary power. Either source must be capable of
providing 20 watts of power.

AC Powered
The EISB can be powered by an AC voltage in the range of 8–24 V capable of
delivering 20 VA of apparent power. Two auxiliary power supplies are
available: The AI-XFMR is for use with 120 VAC. The AI-XFMR-E is for
use with 230 VAC.
Figure 8 — AC Powered
Figure 9 — AC Powered with Grounded Secondary
AC Powered with Battery Backup
The EISB can also operate in the AC mode with a backup battery providing
power if the AC source fails. The EISB does NOT charge the battery, so
separate provisions are required for charging.

LEDs
Power — This bicolor LED monitors the EISB internal power circuitry.
When it is red, the EISB is not operational because a voltage is invalid or the
reset mode is active. If the internal power circuitry is satisfactory and the unit
has been released from reset mode, this LED is green.
Port — Each port has a bicolor LED which glows green when a valid Ethernet
link has been established at 100 Mbps and yellow if the data rate is 10 Mbps.
The LED flashes when data transfer is occurring.
Ports 1 and 2 are accessed via the front panel.
Other ports are located on the top and bottom
surfaces of the case.
Figure 11 shows how front panel LEDS are
arranged to correspond with the physical
locations of the various ports. A line printed on
the front panel graphically separates the LEDs
for the “top” ports from those for the “bottom”
ports. The LEDs nearest this line are associated
with those ports nearest the front of the case.
LEDs further from the line correspond to ports
closer to the rear of the case. As an example of
port arrangement, Figure 11 identifies a few of
the ports on the model EISB24M-100T/FC.
Figure 11 — Port Locations
Managed switches also have the following LEDs.
Status — This bicolor LED monitors both power inputs (AC and DC) to verify
each exceeds a 7-volt minimum — and that the switch is not in reset mode. If
this LED is green, both power inputs are satisfactory; if red a fault exists. If
only one power input is satisfactory, the EISB may function and its Power
LED glow green — but the Status LED will be red due to abnormal power.
Thus, if only one power input is used, both inputs must be wired together to
maintain the Status LED in its green (no-fault) state.
Console — This LED glows green when a user is accessing the switch via the
console port and is off when the switch is not being accessed.
Fault Relay
The operation of this relay is explained in the Software Manual. Its contact is
normally closed and rated at 500 mA, 24 V (max).
