Overview
The ECS2100-10T/10P/10PE are Gigabit Ethernet switches with 8 10/100/
1000BASE-T ports, and two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots for
fiber connectivity.
The ECS2100-28T/28P/28PP/52T are Gigabit Ethernet switches with 24/48 10/100/
1000BASE-T ports, and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots for
fiber connectivity.
The ECS2110-26T is a 10G Ethernet switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and
two 10G SFP+ transceiver slots for fiber connectivity.
The switches include an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-
band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. Further, the switches
support both web and CLI-based configuration.
Power-over-Ethernet All of the 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on the ECS2100-10P, ECS2100-10PE, ECS2100-
28P, and ECS2100-28PP support both the IEEE 802.3af-2003 and IEEE 802.3at-2009
PoE standards. These switches are excellent choices for supplying power to
connected PoE devices such as web cameras, IP telephones, or access points.
Key Hardware
Components
The switches consist of several key hardware components. This manual describes
each specific component, or related components, together with their installation

Verify Switch Operation
Verify basic switch operation by checking the system LEDs.
When operating normally, the Power and Diag LED should both be on green. If
either of these LEDs are on amber, see “Diagnosing LED Indicators” on page 51.
Go to the section “Understanding the System Status LEDs” on page 47
Figure 6: System LEDs
Make Initial Configuration Changes
At this point, you may need to make a few basic switch configuration changes
before connecting to the network. You can either connect to the switch console
port or any RJ-45 port to perform this task.
Through an RJ-45 Port
The switch offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the
configuration of all the unit’s features.
You can make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly to one of
the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The switch has a default management IP address of
192.168.2.10 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address
to be on the same subnet as the switch (that is, the PC and switch addresses must
both start 192.168.2.x).
Log in to the web interface using the default settings:
◆Login Name — admin
◆Password — admin

Through the Console Port
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 password “admin”.
Go to “How to Connect to the Console Port” on page 47
Figure 7: Console Port
For information on initial switch configuration:
Refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
Install Transceivers and Connect Cables
Install SFP/SFP+ transceivers and connect network cables to port interfaces:
◆For RJ-45 ports, use 100-ohm category 3 or better Ethernet cable for 10BASE-T
connections, use 100-ohm category 5 or better Ethernet cable for 100BASE-TX
and 1000BASE-T connections.
◆Install SFP/SFP+ transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the
transceiver ports.
Connect console cable to switch’s Console port.
Connect console cable to PC’s DB-9 COM port.
