10/100/1000Base-T Ports
These ports pro ide the standard gigabit Ethernet interface. They pro ide speeds of 10/
100 or 1000 Mb/s through twisted pair (UTP) cables of up to 100 meters (328ft) in length.
Combo ports (Dual purpose)
Through configuration or through auto-detection Combo ports pro ide two physical port
options for one logical switch port. A link may be established on either the SFP module
inserted in the slot or on the 10/100/1000Base-T port associated with it. If both ports are
occupied (Ethernet and SFP module), the SFP module will take priority
100/1000 Mb/s SFP Slots
The SFP slots can accommodate industry standard SFP’s from Perle or other suppliers.
These SFP’s can be 100 or 1000 Mb/s or can be SGMII models including 1000Base-T
Copper SFP’s.
RJ-45 Console Port
This is a console management port pro iding access to the switch management function
using the industry standard CLI command set. This port has an RJ-45 connector. See RJ-
45-Console Port Pinouts.

Connecting Data Ports
Ethernet Connections
By default all of the 10/100/1000 ports will automatically set themsel es up to match the
speeds of all attached de ices. If auto negotiation is not supported by one or more attached
de ices, the ports can be configured to operate at fixed speeds and duplex settings.
Warning: In hazardous location installations, failure to remo e the power from the source
prior when completing the wiring connections to the Ethernet ports could cause an electri-
cal arc resulting in a possible explosion.
To connect to 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T follow these steps:
1. When connecting to de ices, workstations, ser ers or routers connect a straight
through Ethernet cable to a 10/100/1000 RJ45 connector on the front of the IDS
switch. Gigabit Ethernet requires CAT5 or better.
2. Once the de ice is connected and link is established the link LEDs will turn on. These
LEDs will indicate whether you ha e a 10,100 or 1000 Mb/s link to the switch. See.
(LED Indicators) for more details.
Note: It may take a few seconds for the de ice to become acti e. By default the IDS

SFP Connections
Inserting the SFPs
SFP modules are inserted in the SFP slots on the front of the IDS switch.
1. Align the SFP module in front of the slot to establish alignment.
2. Insert the module and push inwards with your thumb until you hear a click. Do not
force the SFP module in. SFP modules are keyed so you can only insert them one way.
3. If the SFP module is equipped with a clasp, ensure the clasp is in the locked position.
4. The appropriate fiber cable can now be connected to the SFP module.
