Chapter 1 –Introduction
Overview
B&B Electronics Elinx family of Industrial rack mount Ethernet switches have been designed to
meet light Industrial communication requirements.
The ESW726 Managed family offers a variety of Industrial models. The switch configurations
range from 26 ports RJ45 copper to RJ45 copper with multi mode, single mode, and or SFP
gigabit ports.
Two ports can be used for network redundancy by implementing our RingOn technology. RingOn
has been developed to provide a rapid recovery system for Industrial networks. If any part of the
ring disconnects the network communications will automatically be restored by RingOn
technology.
All RJ45 copper ports support auto-negotiation, 10/100Mbps data rate, full/half duplex, flow
control and auto-MDI/MDIX. The Elinx switches provide advanced management functions such as:
RingOnTM, VLAN, Trunking, QoS (Quality of Service), IGMP Snooping, Port Rate Control, Port
Mirroring, Static Mac Address Forwarding Table, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol),
Diagnosis, Email/Relay fault warning and field Firmware Update.

Chapter 2 –Initial Setup / Configuration
The following information will explain how to access the unit for the first time. There are three
ways to configure the IP address setting, console mode, telnet, and a web browser.
Telnet Mode
Before the Managed switch is installed the Telnet Mode feature can be used to enter network
settings. To open a telnet session select the Start button then either open the Command window
by selecting the icon or in some operating systems the Run command line can be used to open
the Command window by typing cmd and selecting enter.
Once the window is opened type telnet then the IP address of the unit as shown below. Default IP
address is 192.168.118.100. Select enter and the User Login screen will open. Once the login
screen opens follow the instructions listed under the Console mode section on the following page.
Console Mode
Before the Managed switch is installed on a LAN the Console Mode feature can be used to
change the network settings from the defaults.
Console Mode, allows the configuration of the Managed switch network settings (using an RS-232
connection through the RS232 Console port of the switch) from a PC running a VT100 terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal. When the serial connection is made and
HyperTerminal has opened the Console Mode screen will appear in the program window. The
serial port settings must be 8-N-1 at 115200 baud. If Console screen does not appear select
Enter.
NOTE:
1. Supplied RS-232 cable must be used. Straight
through or cross over will not work.
2. If Console screen does not appear select Enter.

Chapter 3 –Web Browser Configuration
The Web Server provides a convenient way to configure the managed switch from web browser
software (such as Internet Explorer).
To use the web server management and monitoring functions from a host PC connected to the
same LAN they must be configured with the appropriate network settings.
Web Server Access
Two web servers types are supported, HTTP and HTTPS. Open the web browser and enter the IP
address of the managed switch. (MS Internet Explorer and Firefox supported)
The security login window will open requesting login user name and pass word.
Default:
User Name: admin
Password: admin
The home page will now open displaying the Overview page. The left column will display a list of
configurable options. At the top right the Help button is available to assist in configuration. At the
right an overview of page function is available.

Basic Settings
System Information
The System Information Page allows the user to assign a unique name, location of the switch,
type of function, and contact name which will assist in developing a network layout. The
information will also be available in SNMP.
Each setting in the System Info Settings page allows a maximum length of 64 characters.
Password Settings
The Password Settings page allows up to 3 users to assign unique Users Names and Passwords.
The User Index is used to select the individual users.
The maximum number of characters is 32 and a blank password can be configured. If a blank
password is used the log file will not trace the login of this user.
Accesable IP
Two web server types are available, HTTP and HTTPS. When Access Control is enabled, access to
the managed switch web server is limited to the IP address listed on this page. Connections from
clients with other IP addresses will be refused.

The web server connection, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), is a communications protocol
used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web using default port 80. Https is a
URL that implements a Secure HTTP connection using default port 443.
All entered access IP Addresses must be a legal IP address. Accessible IP addresses cannot be
broadcast address or net mask (for example: 255.255.255.0). Each switch is allowed up to ten
accessible IP addresses. When this feature is enabled at least one of these IP addresses must be
in the same subnet and a member of VLAN 1 for management changes. By default all ports are
members of VLAN 1.
Port
Each port can be individually configured to meet communication requirements using Mode, Flow
Control, and MDI/MDIX.

There are two options that can be used to configure the network settings of the Ethernet
managed switch, DHCP and Fixed (Static) IP Address. DHCP will allow a DHCP server to
automatically assign an IP Address setting. The Fixed (Static) IP Address setting allows the user
to manually configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway settings.

Chapter 4 –Advanced Settings
RingOn
RingOn is Rapid Rescue and Recovery System for Ethernet networks which is designed to provide
a backup system (path) for communications. RingOn uses two ports on each switch to form a ring
with the switch automatically selecting an active port and a blocked port. If a break occurs in the
active line the RingOn recovery system will automatically switch ports, enable the blocked port,
and continue to communications. A break in the ring network will also activate the Fault Relay
warning the administrator of the problem. The recovery time in the event of a break is less than
15 ms.
Two types of RingOn configurations are available: single loop and dual loop. Dual loop
configurations connect two or more single loops. When configuring dual rings unique ID’s are
used for each ring.
Single RingOnconfiguration
Single Ring
The web configuration screen shot illustrates the steps needed to implement a single ring. In this
case the switch is automatically configured as Master. Port 1 used for communications and Port 2
blocked. Only the master will display a Port Status of Blocked port.

Dual RingOn Configuration
Two types of RingOn configurations are available: single loop and dual loop. Dual loop
configurations connect two or more single loops. When configuring dual rings, unique ID’s are
used for each ring. The following diagram is the typical dual loop illustration.
Dual Ring
The web configuration screen shot illustrates the steps needed to implement a dual ring. Both ID
1 and 2 are enabled. Ports 1 and 2 connect single rings. Ports 3 and 4 connect the single rings
together. Both rings are connected together using ID 4 coupling port. Once ports are connected
and configuration saved the Status displays Complete.
