

Handle the Ethernet Switch carefully to prevent fingers and hands from being
damaged by twisted pair port, SFP extension slot, console port, SD card slot,
or power cord hook block.
CAUTION
Do not connect any other devices except for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T
devices to the twisted pair ports.
Deviation could lead to equipment failure.
Do not insert any other modules except for our optional SFP module
(PN54022/PN54024) to the SFP extension slots.
Check out our website for the latest information on supported SFP modules.
Be sure to connect the ground cable.
Otherwise this might cause electrical shocks, misoperations and malfunctions.
Connect the Ethernet Switch via the supplied power cord to the outlet which is
connected to the ground.
If the outlet is not connected to the ground, connect the ground cable to the
ground terminal screw.
Be sure to check the precautions which are printed on the product labels
before using.
Deviation could lead to electric shock.

CAUTION
Check whether the optical fiber cable connectors are contaminated with dust, etc.
This might cause the optical signal to not be transmitted normally, and cause
misoperations and malfunctions. If they are contaminated, make sure to clean
them off, then connect them to the optical fiber ports.
This Ethernet Switch is to be periodically serviced in order to maintain its
performance.
Please assign a product administrator, and be sure to implement periodic
maintenance. When doing maintenance, check the inspection chart that is
posted on our website which has the requisite items listed on it.
When using this Ethernet Switch to design systems, use it after applying
appropriate measures such as setting up redundant configurations.
Communication failures might be generated due to causes such as malfunctions or
misoperations while the Ethernet Switch is being used.
When using this Ethernet Switch for applications which require extremely high
reliability, be careful to expend all possible means to ensure safety and
reliability.
This Ethernet Switch is not designed or manufactured with the intention that it be
used for applications (in use with railways, aviation, and medical care, etc. where
the influence rate due to communication failures is extremely high in regard to
systems that directly affect systems and human lives) which require extremely high
reliability.
It is recommended that this Ethernet Switch be replaced about five years after
it has been installed.
This may vary depending upon conditions such as utilisation rates and usage
environments, but performance might decrease due to the age-related degradation,
etc. of components.
Be careful in regards to environmental restrictions whereby the Ethernet Switch
can be used.
Please isolate the business power lines and communication lines. Isolate distribution
lines and other distribution lines, and low current power lines, optical fiber cables,
metallic water conduits, and gas conduits, etc. Noise may be generated in the
communication lines which might cause communication glitches.
Do not connect the console ports with any other device except for serial
communication terminal.
Deviation could lead to equipment failure.

Product Outline
1.1 Features
1
 Ports 1 to 20 are 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to
autonegotiation.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
However, ports 17 to 20 do not support half-duplex mode.
 Ports 17 to 20 are SFP extension slots.
These ports and the 1000BASE-T twisted pair cable ports cannot be used
simultaneously.
 Settings and firmware can be changed and saved by using an SD card.
 All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function. Simply
connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a network device.

The ZEQUO 2310 is a Layer 2 all giga Ethernet Switch equipped with management
functions that has 20 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 SFP expansion ports.
(To prevent loop failures, ports 1 to 16 are fixed to MDI-X at factory default settings.)
The connection status for each port is detected by the power saving mode, and it can
reduce the power consumption to required levels when not linked up.
(Factory default: deactivated)
Due to the loop detection/shutoff function, a port where loop has occurred can be
automatically shut off to prevent loop failures. When a port is shut off and recovered
automatically, SNMP trap can be sent to notify the incident to the administrator.
Moreover, the port with a loop can be identified by loop notification on the LEDs on
the main unit and referring the history of loop on the setting screen.
 The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az(LPI). When
there is no data transmission at link up, the energy-saving state automatically starts so
that power consumption can be reduced on each port.
Supports triple authentication that can simultaneously wait on IEEE802.1X
authentication, MAC authentication, and WEB authentication via one port, and an
authentication network which is matched to the kinds of connection terminals can be
constructed.
Equipped with step authentication functions, and can prevent illegal access of the
terminals.
The Ring Redundant Protocol (RRP) is supported, allowing to make a redundant net-work-
via ring topology.

1.4 Basic operation
This Product does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Connect the supplied power
cord to this Ethernet Switch and connect the other end into an electric outlet.
This Ethernet Switch operates at AC 100 - 240 V (50/60 Hz).
When power is supplied, all the LEDs are turned ON.
Then, POWER LED (Power) lights in green, STATUS LED lights up orange, and the
hardware’s self-diagnostic is implemented.
On completion of self-diagnosis, STATUS LED light in green, and the Ethernet Switch
starts operation as a Ethernet Switch.
When this Ethernet Switch successfully communicates with a terminal connected to a
port, the Port LED lights up.
When the terminal is not operating normally, for example when power is not
supplied to the terminal, the Port LED does not light up.
* For configuration and management method, please see the PDF version

3.1 Grounding Cable Connection
The chassis of the equipment must be grounded properly so that the lightning can flow to
the ground, which improves the capability of the chassis for resisting the electromagnetic
interference.
1. Ensure that the grounding cable is connected correctly so that the equipment is
protected against lightning and interference. The correct connection of the grounding
cable is an important measure to ensure the human safety.
2. Connect the chassis to the ground by using a grounding cable. The grounding resistance
must be smaller than 0.10 ohms and the gauge of the grounding cable must be no less
than 18 AWG and the length is 50 cm.
3. The ground installed screw shall comply with 3.5mm minimum in nominal thread
diameter, and engage at least two complete threads into metal chassis with appropriate
fixing hardware like washer.
4. The grounding cable shall not be removed during normal operation, servicing or
maintenance.
5. Installation steps:
Step 1: Ensure the detachable power supply cord removed.
Step 2: Use the screwdriver to turn the screws on the earth ground screw point.
Step 3: Strip one end of the ground wire to the ground hole of system.
Step 4: Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable grounding point of
building at your side.

17
Troubleshooting
Use the Ethernet Switch in its operating temperature range.
If used at a temperature out of the operating temperature range, STATUS LED
blinks in orange and indicates abnormality.
Communication Failure
Is the UTP/fiber cable connected to the correct port?
Are the SFP modules complied with the same standard each other?
Is the fiber cable correct the fiber mode (single or multi)?
Are the communication speed and mode settings correct?
If the communication mode signal cannot be properly obtained, the Ethernet Switch
operates in half-duplex mode. Check the auto negotiation setting again.
Do not fix the speed/duplex mode of the connected terminal to full-duplex mode.

Ports 17 to 20 do not link up with devices in fixed mode.
Connect the device to ports 1 to 16 or enable auto negotiation of the device you
want to connect.

Are the port LEDs lit up orange, or blinking orange?
If the port LEDs are lit up orange, or blinking orange, the ports will be blocked via
the loop detection and blocking functions. After the port controlled loop
connections are resolved, release the port blocking from the settings screen as to
whether the standby time will be longer than the recovery time until the
auto-recovery of the loop detection and blocking.
