Description 2
2.1 Product characteristics
Properties of the IE switches
● The Ethernet interfaces support the following modes:
– 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps both in full and half duplex
– 1000 Mbps full duplex
– Autocrossing
– Autopolarity
● Redundancy protocols Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
This means part of a network can be connected redundantly to a higher-level company
network. The reconfiguration time of the network is in the seconds range and therefore
takes longer than the ring redundancy method.
● Virtual networks (VLAN)
To structure Industrial Ethernet networks with a fast growing number of nodes, a physical
network can be divided into several virtual subnets. Port-based, protocol-based and subnet-
based VLANs are available.
● Load limitation when using multicast protocols, for example video transmission
By learning the multicast sources and destinations (IGMP snooping, IGMP querier), the IE
switches can filter multicast data traffic and limit the load in the network. Multicast and
broadcast data traffic can be limited.
● Time-of-day synchronization
Diagnostics messages (log table entries, e-mails) are given a time stamp. The local time
is uniform throughout the network thanks to synchronization with a SICLOCK time
transmitter or SNTP/NTP/PTP server and therefore makes the identification of diagnostics
messages of several devices easier.
● Link aggregation (IEEE 802.1AX) for bundling ports
● Quality of Service for classification of the network traffic is according to COS (Class of
Service - IEEE 802.11Q) and DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point - RFC 2474)
Layer 3 functions
The following functions are only available on devices with routing functions:
● Static routing
● OSPF / OSPFv3
● VRRP / VRRPv3
● RIP / RIPng
SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Web Based Management (WBM)
Configuration Manual, 05/2017, C79000-G8976-C248-12 15

● IGMP
● PIM
● MSDP
There are devices that natively support all routing functions. You will find the order numbers
in the operating instructions of the devices.
On the devices that only support layer 2, you can enable the routing functions with a KEY-
PLUG.
Naming interfaces
Interface names with SCALANCE XM-400
● Interfaces of the basic device
The interfaces of the basic device SCALANCE XM-400 are called module 1.
● Interfaces of extenders
The port extenders are called module 2 and module 3 starting from the basic device. The
number of port extenders depends on the number of ports of the basic device.
The extender function is called module 0.
Interface names with SCALANCE XR-500
● Permanently integrated Interfaces
The interfaces permanently installed in the SCALANCE XR-500 are identified with module
0.
● Interfaces of modules
The slots for modules are called module 1 followed by numbers. The numbering range
depends on the hardware configuration. The numbering is fixed and does not depend on
the number of modules being used.
Each module has 4 ports numbered 1 to 4.
Combo ports
Combo port is the name for two communication ports. A combo port has the two following plug-
in options:
● a fixed RJ-45 port
● an SFP transceiver slot that can be equipped individually
Of these two ports, only one can ever be active.
You can set the active port on the WBM page "System > Ports > Configuration"with the CLI
command media-type.

2.2 Requirements for installation and operation
Requirements for installation and operation of the IE switches
A PG/PC with a network connection must be available in order to configure the IE switches. If
no DHCP server is available, a PG/PC on which the Primary Setup Tool (PST) is installed is
necessary for the initial assignment of an IP address to the IE switches. For the other
configuration settings, a PG/PC with Telnet or an Internet browser is necessary.
Serial interface
The IE switches have a serial interface. An IP address is unnecessary to be able to access
the device via the serial interface. A serial cable ships with the products.
Set the following parameters for the connection:
● Bits per second: 115200
● Data bits: 8
● Parity: None
● Stop bits: 1
● Flow control: None
2.3 C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG
Configuration information on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG
The C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the new
device when a device is replaced.
NOTICE
Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation!
A C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device regularly checks whether or not a KEY-PLUG is present. If it is detected that the
KEY-PLUG was removed, there is a restart. If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted in the device,
the device changes to a defined error state following the restart.
When the new device starts up with the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG, it then continues automatically
with exactly the same configuration as the old device. One exception to this can be the IP
configuration if it is set over DHCP and the DHCP server has not been reconfigured accordingly.

SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Web Based Management (WBM)
Configuration Manual, 05/2017, C79000-G8976-C248-12 17

A reconfiguration is necessary if you use functions based on MAC addresses.
Note
In terms of the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG, the SCALANCE devices work in two modes:
●Without C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG
The device stores the configuration in internal memory. This mode is active when no C-
PLUG / KEY-PLUG is inserted.
●With C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG
The configuration stored on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG is displayed over the user interfaces.
If changes are made to the configuration, the device stores the configuration directly on the
C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG and in the internal memory. This mode is active as soon as a C-
PLUG / KEY-PLUG is inserted. When the device is started with a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG
inserted, the device starts up with the configuration data on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG.
Note
Incompatibility with previous versions with C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG inserted
During the installation of a previous version of the firmware, the configuration data can be lost.
In this case, the device starts up with the factory settings after the firmware has been installed.
In this situation, if a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG is inserted in the device, following the restart, this
has the status "Not Accepted" since the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG still has the configuration data
of the previous more up-to-date firmware. This allows you to return to the previous, more up-
to-date firmware without any loss of configuration data. If the original configuration on the C-
PLUG / KEY-PLUG is no longer required, the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG can be deleted or rewritten
manually.
License information on the KEY-PLUG
In addition to the configuration, the KEY-PLUG also contains a license that allows the use of
layer 3 functions.
2.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
General
"Power over Ethernet" (PoE) is a power supply technique for network components according
to IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at. The power is supplied over the Ethernet cables that connect
the individual network components together. This makes an additional power cable
unnecessary. PoE can be used with all PoE-compliant network components that have a
maximum power consumption of max. 25.50 W.

18 Configuration Manual, 05/2017, C79000-G8976-C248-12

Cable used for the power supply
●Alternative A (redundant wires)
In Fast Ethernet, the wire pairs 1, 2 and 3, 6 are used to transfer data. Pairs 4, 5 and 7, 8
are then used to supply power. If there are only four wires available, the voltage is
modulated onto the wires 1, 2 and 3, 6 (see variant 2). This alternative is suitable for a data
transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps. This type of power supply is not suitable for 1 Gbps since
with gigabit all eight wires are used for data transfer.
●Alternative B (phantom power)
With phantom power, the power is supplied over the pairs that are used for data transfer,
in other words, all eight (1 Gbps) or four (10/100 Mbps) wires are used both for the data
transfer and the power supply.
A PoE-compliant end device must support both alternative A and alternative B over redundant
wires.
A switch with PoE capability can supply the end device either using
● alternative A or
● Alternative B or
● alternative A and alternative B.
Note
The SCALANCE PE408PoE extender supports alternative B.
Endspan
With endspan, the power is supplied via a switch that can reach a device over an Ethernet
cable. The switch must be capable of PoE, for example a SCALANCE X108PoE, SCALANCE
X308-2M PoE, all SCALANCE XM400 switches with PE408PoE, SCALANCE XR552‑12M.
Midspan
Midspan is used when the switch is not PoE-compliant. The power is supplied by an additional
device between the switch and end device. In this case, only data rates of 10/100 Mbps can
be achieved because the power is supplied on redundant wires.
A Siemens power insert can also be used as the interface for the power input. Since a power
insert supports a power supply of 24 VDC, it does not conform with IEEE 802.3af or IEEE
802.3at. The following restrictions relating to the use of power inserts should be noted:
WARNING
Operate the power insert only when the following conditions apply:
● with extra low voltages SELV, PELV complying with IEC 60364-4-41
● in USA/CAN with power supplies complying with NEC class 2
● in USA/CAN, the cabling must meet the requirements of NEC/CEC
● Current load maximum 0.5 A
