Overview
Thank you for choosing the ECS4510-12PD switch system. This switch is built with
leading-edge technology to deliver reliable high-performance connectivity for
your data network.
The ECS4510-12PD is a Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch with eight 10/100/
1000BASE-T ports, two 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports, and two Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots.
The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both
in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. Further, the switch
supports both web and CLI-based configuration.
Power-over-Ethernet The switch supports both the IEEE 802.3af-2003 and IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE
specifications. The eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports (ports 1~8) on the ECS4510-12PD
support the IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE Powered Device (PD) specification that enables
DC power to be supplied to the switch using wires in the connecting Ethernet
cable. One 10/100/1000 Mbps port (port 10) supports the IEEE 802.3af-2003 Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) specification that enables the port to supply power to an
attached device using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable.

port to perform this task.
The serial port’s configuration requirements are as follows: 115200 bps, 8
characters, no parity, one stop bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control.
You can log in to the command-line interface (CLI) using default settings: User
“admin” with the password “admin”.
