Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 About the iES6 Series Intelligent Managed Switch
The iES6 series switches are powerful, managed industrial grade switches with numerous features.
These switches can operate under a wide temperature range, dusty environments, and in humid
conditions. The switches can be managed either by using the WEB, TELNET, directly using the
Console port on the switch, or any third-party SNMP software. The switch can also be managed by
our own Network Management Suite called “iManage”. iManage has a friendly and powerful
interface which can be easily used to configure multiple switches at the same time, and also monitor
their status.
1.2 Software Features

Hardware Installation
3.1 DIN Rail Mounting
Each switch has a DIN-Rail bracket on the rear panel that allows the switch to be mounted on a DIN Rail.
To mount the switch on a DIN Rail follow the steps below.
1. Slant the top of the switch back and hook the top of the DIN bracket onto the top of the DIN rail.
iES6 iES6-S
Figure 5 - DIN Rail Mounting
2. Push the bottom of the switch towards the DIN Rail until in clicks into place.
Note: To release the switch from the DIN Rail, pull the latch at the bottom of the switch down to release
the DIN bracket from the DIN Rail. While pulling the latch down, pull the bottom of the switch away from
the DIN Rail. The switch will now lift off of the DIN rail.

3.2 Panel Mounting Option
The switch can also has an option to be panel or wall mounted. The following steps show how to mount the
switch on a panel or wall.
1. Install the Panel mounting hardware onto the switch. The user can choose rear mounting or side
mounting. Note: To avoid damage to the unit, use the 4 screws provided to install the panel mount
brackets onto the switch.

2. Use the holes in the brackets to secure the switch to a wall or panel.
3.3 Chassis Ground Connection
The iES6/ iES6-S chassis ground connection uses a #6-32 Screw. We recommend terminating the ground
connection using a #6 ring lug and a torque setting of 15 in.lbs (1.7Nm). The red outline indicates the
location of the chassis ground.

3.4 Power Connections
The iES6 and iES6-S Series Ethernet switch supports 3 different dual redundant power supplies (PWR1 and
PWR2):
1. LV: Dual Input 10-48VDC
2. MV: Dual Input 36-75VDC
3. HV: Single Input 85-264VAC or 88-370VDC with a Single 10-48VDC Backup.
Figure 8 - Power Connection
The label on the terminal block will indicate the accepted voltage range for PWR1 and PWR2. Positions 2,
4 and 6 are all for ground connections (connected via a removable jumper) and can be used for any ground
connection. The 3 tables below list the power connections for each type of input power.
The Phillips Screw Terminal Block 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.

WEB Management
5.1 Configuration by Web Browser
This section introduces the configuration by Web browser.
5.1.1 About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in the flash memory of the CPU board. It contains advanced
management features which allow you to manage the switch from anywhere on the network via 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 at reducing network bandwidth consumption and enhances access speed in a viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later versions do not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The browser settings need to be explicitly
modified in order to enable Java Applets to use the network ports.
Preparing for Web Management
The default value is as below:
