CAUTION
This Switching Hub is to be periodically serviced in order to maintain its
performance.
Please choose a product administrator, and have them 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 Switching Hub to design systems, use it after applying
appropriate measures such as setting up redundant configurations.
Communications failures might be generated due to causes such as malfunctions or
misoperations while the Switching Hub is being used.
When using this Switching Hub for applications which require extremely high
reliability, be careful to expend all possible means to ensure safety and
reliability.
This Switching Hub was not designed nor manufactured with the intention that it be
used for applications (in use with railways, aviation, and medical care, etc. whereas
the influence rate due to communications failures is extremely high in regard to
systems that directly affect systems and human lives) which require extremely high
reliability.
It is strongly recommended that a lightning arrester (SPD) be installed on the
twisted pair port side and the power supply side of this Switching Hub.
Malfunctions might be caused due to overcurrent and overvoltage due to the effects
of lightning strikes.
It is recommended that this Switching Hub 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 Switching Hub
can be used.
Please isolate the business power lines and communications 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
communications lines which might cause communications glitches.

Product Outline
ZEQUO 6400 is a Layer 3 Switching Hub with management function having
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports, SFP extension slots, and SFP+ extension slots.
1.1 Features
1
 Has wire-speed Layer 3 switching function.
 Ports 1 to 24 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to autonegotiation.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
 Ports 21 to 24 are SFP extension slots.
These ports and the 1000BASE-T twisted pair cable ports cannot be used
simultaneously.
 Ports 25 to 28 are SFP+ extension slots. They are capable of 10-Gbps
communications. They can be used as SFP or SFP+ ports.

 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.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is set at Fixed
or Link Aggregation.)
 Embedded power saving mode detects the connection status automatically and
saves power consumption to minimum.
The Ring Redundant Protocol (RRP) is supported, allowing to make a redundant net-work-
via ring topology.
If the stacking functions have been activated, ports 27 to 28 will be stacking ports.
By using the SFP+ modules and the optical fiber cables, or the SFP+ direct attach
cables, stacking connections are feasible for up to a maximum of four units whereas
the ZEQUO 6500, or the ZEQUO 6400 are mixed.

1.4 Basic operation
This Product does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Connect the supplied power
cord to this Switching Hub and connect the other end into an electric outlet.
This Switching Hub operates at AC 100 - 240 V (50/60 Hz).
When power is supplied, all the LEDs are turned ON.
Then, POWER LED lights in green, STATUS LED lights in orange, and self-diagnosis of
hardware is executed.
On completion of self-diagnosis, POWER LED and STATUS LED light in green, and
the Switching Hub starts operation as a Switching Hub.
When this Switching Hub 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
Operating Instructions in CD-ROM.

is firmly inserted.
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)?
Attempt to disable “Power Saving” function at target port.
Are the communication speed and mode settings correct?
If the communication mode signal cannot be properly obtained, the Switching Hub
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.
Is the usage rate of the network to which this Switching Hub is connected excessively
high?
Try separating this Switching Hub from the network.
Stacking Failure
Is the stacking function enabled?
Is the SFP+ direct attached cable connected to stacking port (port 27 or 28) correctly?
Is the STACK ID LED displayed the correct ID?
