Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 About the iES24G Series Industrial Switch
The iES24G series are managed redundant ring Ethernet switches with 16xGigabit ports (10/100/1000Base-T or
100/1000Base-X) and 8x100/1000Base-X SFP ports. With complete support of Ethernet Redundancy protocol,
iRing (recovery time < 20ms over 250 units of connection) and MSTP/RSTP/STP (IEEE IEEE 802.1s/w/D) can
protect your mission-critical applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast
recovery technology. iS5Com’s iES24G series switches provide advanced and IP-based bandwidth management
which can limit the maximum bandwidth for each IP device. The user can configure an IP camera and NVR with
more bandwidth and limit other device’s bandwidth. iS5Com’s iES24G series switch also supports application-
based QoS. Application-based QoS can set highest priority for data stream according to TCP/UDP port number.
All functions of the iES24G series can also be managed centrally and conveniently by Open-Vision v3.0 or above,
as well as the Web-based interface, Telnet and console (CLI) configuration. Therefore, the switch is one of the
most reliable choices for highly-managed and Gigabit Fiber Ethernet application.
1.2 Software Features

Event notification by Email, SNMP trap and Relay Output
Web-based ,Telnet, and Console (CLI) configuration
Enable/disable ports, MAC based port security
Port-based network access control (IEEE 802.1x)
VLAN (IEEE 802.1q) to segregate and secure network traffic
RADIUS centralized password management
SNMPv3 encrypted authentication and access security
RSTP (IEEE 802.1w)
Quality of Service (IEEE 802.1p) for real-time traffic
VLAN (IEEE 802.1q) with support for double-tagging and GVRP
IGMP Snooping for multicast filtering
Port configuration, status, statistics, mirroring, and security
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
1.3 Hardware Features

2.5 Power Connections
The Phillips Screw Terminal Block, located on the back of the unit, has Phillips screws with compression
plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. The use of #6 size ring lugs is
recommended to ensure secure and reliable connections under severe shock or vibration. The terminal
block comes with a safety cover which must be removed before connecting any wires. This cover must be
re-attached after wiring to ensure personnel safety.
The iES24G series supports dual redundant power supplies (PWR1 and PWR2). There are 3 options:
1. LV: Single or Dual Input 12-36VDC
2. MV: Single or Dual Input 36-72VDC
3. HV: Single or Dual Input 88-300VDC or 85-264VAC.

About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in flash memory on the CPU board. It contains advanced management
features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard web browser
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management function supports Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. It is based on Java Applets with an
aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to explicitly modify
the browser
setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
