Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch
xx Preface
Preface
Congratulations on your purchase from the Dimension series of Ethernet switches.
This preface introduces you to the ES-4024 and discusses the conventions of this User’s Guide. It also provides
information on other related documentation.
About the ES-4024
There are two ES-4024 models. The ES-4024 DC model requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC,
1.84A Max. The ES-4024 AC model requires 100~240VAC/1.5A power.
All figures in this guide display the ES-4024 AC model unless specifically noted otherwise.
The ES-4024 Ethernet switch is a layer 3 managed switch with features ideally suited in any environment with
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. It can deliver broadband IP services to:
 Multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings (hotels, motels, resorts, residential multi-dwelling units, office
buildings, educational establishments, etc.)
 Public facilities (convention centers, airports, plazas, train stations, etc.)
 Enterprises.
It can also be deployed as a mini-POP (point-of-presence) in a building basement delivering 10/100Mbps data
service over Category 5 wiring to each customer.
General Syntax Conventions
 This guide shows you how to configure the switch using the web configurator and CLI commands. See the
online HTML help for information on individual web configurator screens.
 Mouse action sequences are denoted using a comma. For example, click Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Network means first you click Start, click or move the mouse pointer over Settings, then click or move
the mouse pointer over Control Panel and finally click (or double-click) Network.
 “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to use one of
the predefined choices.
 Predefined choices are in Bold Arial font.
 Button and field labels, links and screen names in are in Bold Times New Roman font.
 For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.” as shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.” as shorthand for “that is” or
“in other words” throughout this manual.
 The ES-4024 Ethernet Switch may be referred to as “the ES-4024”, ”the ES”, or, simply, as “the switch” in
this guide.
