the E3000 Ethernet Switch device.
Notational Conventions
The following conventions are used in this document:
• Italics are used to highlight specific items in the general text, and to identify chapters
and sections in this and related documents.
• Bullets (•) indicate:
• action items
• lists of alternatives
• lists of required steps that are not necessarily sequential

Service Information
If a problem with is encountered with the equipment, contact the Symbol Customer Support. Refer to
Appendix C for contact information. Before calling, have the model number and serial number at hand.
If the problem cannot be solved over the phone, you may need to return your equipment for servicing.
If that is necessary, you will be given specific directions.
Symbol Technologies is not responsible for any damages incurred during shipment if the
approved shipping container is not used. Shipping the units improperly can possibly void
the warranty. If the original shipping container was not kept, contact Symbol to have
another sent to you.

Switch Management Overview
1.1 About the ES3000 Ethernet Switch
The ES3000 Ethernet Switch comes in two versions. One version provides Power over Ethernet
(PoE) in accordance with IEEE standard 802.3af. This allows compatible Ethernet devices to
obtain power from the 10/100BaseT Ethernet wiring. IEEE 802.3af PoE senses the need for power
before supplying power and will not damage non-PoE Ethernet devices.
The other version of the ES3000 Switch does not provide power over Ethernet. Power features
are not available in the non-PoE version of the switch.
The Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch is available in the following models:
ES 3000-PWR (supporting PoE) - Part Number ES-3000-PWR-10-WW
ES 3000 (non PoE) - Part Number ES-3000-10-WW
The PoE and non-PoE versions of the ES3000 use different versions of the bootcode and runtime
software. Do not attempt to use PoE software with a non-PoE switch. Do not attempt to use non-
PoE software with a PoE switch. Attempting to do so may render the switch inoperable.

1.2 Management Access Overview
The Symbol ES3000 Managed Switch provides user interface flexibility using:
• An administration console
• A Web Browser interface
• External SNMP-based network-management application.
The administration console and Web Browser interface are embedded in the switch firmware.
1.3 SNMP Access
Use an external Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) -based application to manage the
Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch.
The SNMP management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network
Management Station use the same community string and the SNMP Network Management Station
is entered in the SNMP Host table on the switch. The SNMP management method uses two
community strings: the GET community string and the SET community string. If the SNMP Network
management Station only knows the SET community string, it can read from and write to the MIBs.
However, if it only knows the GET community string, it can only read MIBs. The default GET
community string for the switch is 'public', and the host table is empty.
1.4 Protocols
The Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch supports the following protocols:
• Virtual terminal protocols, such as Telnet
•SNMP
1.4.1 Virtual Terminal Protocols
A virtual terminal protocol is a software program (such as Telnet) allowing the establishment of a
management session from a Macintosh, PC or UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, at
least one IP address is required on the ES3000 Ethernet Switch before establishing access to it with
a virtual terminal protocol.
Terminal emulation differs from a virtual terminal protocol in that the user is required to connect a
terminal or PC directly to the console port. A workstation can be connected to the system through a

Switch Management Overview 1-3
virtual terminal protocol (Telnet), and a terminal connecting directly to the console port through a null-
modem serial cable.
1.4.2 SNMP Protocol
SNMP is the standard management protocol for multi-vendor IP networks. SNMP supports
transaction-based queries allowing the protocol to format messages and transmit information
between reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.
1.5 Default Installation
1.5.1 Preparing for Site Installation
Site preparation for the ES3000 Ethernet Switch installation begins with a site survey and network
analysis. Review the site survey reports to determine specific equipment placement, site-specific port
capacity, and power drops. Ensure the installation area is free of dust and dirt.
Review the following guidelines for site preparation:
• Assign installation responsibility to appropriate personnel.
• Identify where all installed components are located.
• Verify appropriate rack mounting requirements.
• Arrange for a sufficient number of power drops to support the equipment installation.
• Verify adequate ventilation to all installed equipment.
• Identify and prepare Ethernet and TCP/IP and serial port connections.
• Verify cable lengths are within maximum allowable distances for optimal signal
transmission.

1.5.2 Package Contents
Inspect the package contents and report any missing or damaged items to the Symbol sales
representative. The package (for both the PoE and non-PoE Ethernet Switch models) should contain
the following:
• ES3000 Ethernet Switch
• Quick Installation Guide
• Rack-mounting brackets
• Power cord (optional)
• Null modem serial cable.

1.5.3 Supplying Power
To cable the ES3000 Ethernet Switch to receive power:
1. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on the rear of the Ethernet
Switch.
2. Plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100VAC to 240VAC.
The Ethernet Switch is ready to receive power.
1.5.4 Establishing a RS-232 Serial Connection to the Ethernet Switch
The initial configuration of the Ethernet Switch is set using the serial port. To establish the RS-232
serial connection:
1. Connect the port to a RS-232 (DB-9) serial port on the configuring computer using the
supplied cable.
2. Use a terminal emulation application to access the command line interface (CLI) through the
console port.
3. Configure the terminal emulation application and operating system to support the following
serial port specifications:
Terminal Type VT-100
Communication 8 - data bits
Mode 1 - stop bit
no parity
19200 bps transfer rate
no flow control
no hardware compression

1.6 Administration of the ES3000 Ethernet Switch
There are three management user interfaces on the switch: menu-driven, CLI, and Web. The menu-
driven and CLI interfaces are accessed using a direct serial connection or via Telnet over an Ethernet
connection. The Web interface is accessible via HTTP over an Ethernet connection to the switch.
Managing the switch remotely (via Telnet or Web) requires the switch to have an IP address assigned
to it. The administrator must know what that IP address is. By default, the switch is configured to use
DHCP to obtain its IP address. If the IP address assigned to the switch from the DHCP server can be
determined, use any of the management interfaces. If not, access the switch via direct serial
connection to determine the IP address assigned via DHCP. If a DHCP server is not available on the
network, access the switch via direct serial connection to assign an IP address to the switch.
To configure or determine the IP address on the switch via direct serial connection:
1. Use HyperTerminal (or other communications utility) to secure a connection to the ES3000
Ethernet Switch.
2. Hit the return key <Enter> to display the ES3000 logon screen.
3. Enter a user name of admin and password of symbol. Press Enter.
4. Select System Admin from the main menu. Press Enter.
5. Select Access from the System Admin menu. Press Enter.
6. Select IP Config from the Access menu. Press Enter.
The System IP Configuration Menu displays.
