Getting Started
1.1 About iES28TG/iES28GF
The iES28Tg and the iES28GF are similar in features. The iES28TG is a fully modular rack-mount Ethernet
switch with 4x10GE Uplink ports and hot-swappable power supply modules. It is optimized for harsh
environments and is fully certified to IEC 61850 ed.2 standards. The iES28GF is also modular, but
modules are fixed including the power supplies and i t d o e s not support 10GE uplinks. The product
line consists of the four models iES28TG-L2, iES28TG-L3 (future), iES28GF-L2 and iES28GF-L3
(future). All units come with the first 3 slots supporting up to 24 ports of 10/100/1000Base (X) and 1 slot
supporting up to 4x10GE ports (iES28TG only), and 4x1G (iES28GF only). The robust iES28 series switches
are designed for power substation and rolling stock applications. The iES28TG-L3 and iES28GF-L3 (future)
are furnished with Layer 3 functionality that boasts a faster forwarding hardware platform with
complete support for Ethernet redundancy protocols such as iRing (recovery time < 20ms over 250
units of connection) and MSTP (RSTP/ STP compatible). The switches can protect mission-critical
applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with this fast recovery
technology. The iES28 series switches support a wide- operating temperature of -40oC to +85oC. All
products can be managed centrally and conveniently via the iManaged Software Suite, web browsers,
Telnet and console (CLI) configuration making it one of the most reliable choices for highly-managed
applications.
1.2 Software Features
Supports GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunneling protocol (L3 only).
Supports iRing (recovery time < 30ms over 250 units of connection) and MSTP (RSTP/STP
compatible) for Ethernet redundancy.
Supports iBridge which allows interoperability with other vendors‟ open architecture ring
technologies.
Supports iChain to allow multiple redundant network rings.
Supports standard IEC 62439-2 MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) functionality. (NOTE –Feature
available upon request)
Supports IPV6 Internet protocol (L3 only).
Supports Modbus TCP protocol.
Supports priority-tagged frames to be received by specific IED’s.

IEC 61850-3 support and Layer 3 functionality
iS5 provides two 10G modules and six Gigabit Ethernet modules to meet your demand for high speed
applications requiring long-distance data transmission. iS5 also provides several fiber transceivers to
meet those requirements. Please refer to the following table for available modules.
All modules are not hot-swappable. Be sure to turn off power before changing modules,
otherwise the system will not detect newly inserted modules.

Hardware Installation
3.1 Rack-mount Installation for iES28GF
The switch can be rack-mounted using the hardware provided.
To mount the switch:
Step 1: Install left and right front mounting brackets to the switch using 4 M3 screws on each side
(screws provided with the switch).
Step 2: Place the switch in the rack and mount to the rack using the rack screws.
Note: You can install the brackets either in the front or at the rear depending on your management
requirements. Remember when installing the brackets at the front; use the four screw holes at the top
and bottom. When installing the brackets on the back sides, use the four screw holes at the top and
middle.

To mount the switch:
Step 1: Install left and right front mounting brackets to the switch using 6 4-40 screws on each
side (screws provided with the switch).
Step 2: Install left and right rear mounting brackets to the switch using 6 4-40 screws on each
side (screws provided with the switch).
Step 3: Place the switch in the rack by tilting the switch on an angle so that the ears will clear the
mounting rails. Mount to the rack using rack screws at the front and rear ears.
3.3 Module Installation (iES28TG only)
3.3.1 RJ-45 Module
The iES28TG supports maximum of 3 8x10/100/1000Base T(X) configurable modules. Follow the steps
below for installation.
Step 1: Turn offthe power to the switch.
Step 2: Insert the modules in Slot 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Step 3: Turn on the power to the switch.
3.3.2 SFP Module
The iES28TG supports a maximum 3x100/1000base (X) SFP configurable modules. Follow the steps
below for installation.
Step 1: Turn offpower to the switch.
Step 2: Insert the modules in Slot 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Step 3: Turn on the power to the switch.

3.3.3 10G SFP+ Module
The iES28TG supports one 10G SFP+ module, with a total of 4x10G ports. Follow the steps below
for installation.
Follow the steps below for installation.
Step 1: Turn offthe power to the switch.
Step 2: Insert the module in Slot 4.
Step 3: Turn on the power to the switch.
1. The 10G slot can only accommodate a 10G module; therefore, do not insert
non-10Gigabit modules in the 10G slot or insert the 10G module in other slots.
2. Removing and installing an Ethernet module can shorten its useful life. Do not
remove and insert the modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

Step 1: Turn offthe power to the switch.
Step 2: Insert the modules in Power 1 and 2 slots respectively.
Step 3: Turn on the power to the switch.
3.3 Wiring
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been turned off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous. Ensure that the proper supply voltage is supplied as indicated on
thepowersupplylabel.
ATTENTION
1. Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
switches.
2. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire.
Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each
wire size.
3. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious damage to your equipment.
4. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and
device wiring paths must cross make sure the wires are perpendicular at the
intersection point.
5. Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same
wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics
should be routed separately.
6. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine
which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring
sharing similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together
7. You should separate input wiring from output wiring
8. It is advised to label the wiring to all devices in the system
