Handle the Ethernet Switch carefully to prevent fingers and hands from being
damaged by twisted pair port, SFP extension slot, Stacking port, 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.
Use only the separately sold SFP module
(PN54021K/PN54023K/PN54022/PN54024) for the SFP expansion ports, and
use only the separately sold SFP module
(PN54021K/PN54023K/PN54022/PN54024), or SFP+ module
(PN59021/PN59023) for the SFP+ expansion ports, and use only the included
40G direct attach cable for the stack ports, and do not insert anything else
besides these.
Deviation could lead to malfunction.
Check the website for the latest information on which SFP modules are compatible.
Do not insert nor use any other modules except for our optional FAN02
Module (PN73002) into the fan module slots.
Deviation could lead to electric shock, malfunction, and/or equipment failure.
Do not insert nor use any other modules except for our optional RP02-200W
Module (70002) into the power module slots.
Deviation could lead to electric shock, malfunction, and/or equipment failure.
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 a 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 nor 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.

Product Outline
1.1 Features
1
 Has wire-speed Layer 3 switching function.
 Ports 1 to 24 are 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/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.
If the stacking functions have been activated, ports 29 and 30 will be stacking ports.
Stack connections for up to four ZEQUO 4600RE units are feasible by using a 40G
direct attach cable.

The ZEQUO 4600RE is a Layer 3 all giga Ethernet Switch equipped with management
functions that has 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, 4 SFP expansion ports, 4 SFP+ expansion
ports and 2 40G stack ports.




The ports which generated the loops give notification via LEDs, and the ports which
generated the loops are automatically shut off via the loop detection and blocking functions.
The ports which generated the loops are displayed via LEDs, and the network manager
can identify the ports which generated the loops after the loop resolution via the loop
history functions.
Triple authentication which can simultaneously wait for IEEE802.1X, MAC, and WEB
authentications at a single port is supported, and an authentication network can be
configured which matches the kinds of connection terminals.
Step authenticating is supported, and user authentications and terminal authentications
can be implemented in phases.


A power supply redundancy can be configured via the additional purchases and mounting
of power modules.
The power modules and fan modules are hot-swappable.
The Ring Redundant Protocol (RRP) is supported, allowing to make a redundant net-work-
via ring topology.
