GETTING STARTED
1.1 About IES12G
The iES12G is an intelligent 12 port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports and up
to 4 Gigabit SFP ports.
The iES12G provides redundancy support through functions such as STP/RSTP/MSTP assuring
protection of all mission critical network applications. iES12G can be managed via the Web, iManage
Software Suite, Telnet, and Console (CLI) / SSH v2.
The switch is made of IP-40 galvanized steel and has a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to
+85°C, which is suitable for the harshest of environments without the use of fans.

2.3 Bottom View of Panel
The Phillips Screw Terminal Block, located on the bottom 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 iES12G series supports dual redundant power supplies (PWR1 and PWR2). There are 3 options:
•LV: Dual Input 10-48VDC
•MV: Single Input 36-75VDC with Single 10-48VDC Backup,
•HV: Single Input 110-370VDC or 90-264VAC with Single 10-48VDC Backup
There are also connections for the Failsafe Relay. The Failsafe Relay is rated 1A @ 24VDC. Connections
to the Terminal block are listed in the table below.
