1 Overview
Your ES-315-F is an intelligent layer-2 Ethernet switch with
four Fast Ethernet RJ-45 ports and one Fast Ethernet Small
Form-factor Pluggable slot. Use the ES-315-F to connect up
to four Ethernet devices to your network. The following
example shows your ES-315-F (A) connecting several
devices (1~ 4) and allowing them to communicate with one
another and access the Internet through the Internet Service
Provider’s network switch (B).
This Quick Start Guide shows you how to do the following:

2 Make Hardware Connections
2.1 Connect the WAN
To make the ES-315-F’s fiber-optic connection you need to:
1Open the ES-315-F.
2Install an SFP transceiver.
3Attach the wire mounts.
4Insert a fiber-optic cable through a bushing and wrap it
around the wire mounts.
5Connect the fiber-optic cable to the SFP transceiver.
"Only qualified technicians should perform these
actions!
2.1.1 Open the ES-315-F
1Remove both screws from the housing.

2Lift the cover.
2.1.2 Install A Transceiver
The ES-315-F supports MSA (Multi-Source Agreement)
compliant SFP transceivers. Inside the ES-315-F, there is a
slot for an SFP transceiver with an LC-type connector.
Please observe the following warnings when working with
transceivers.
• Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace
transceivers.
• SFP transceivers are sensitive to static. To prevent damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD), use an ESD preventive
wrist strap when you install or remove a SFP transceiver.
• Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical
bores.

ES-315-F Quick Start Guide
• SFP transceivers are equipped with a Class 1 laser, which
emits invisible radiation when the device or system is pow-
ered up. To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an
operating fiber-optic transceiver’s connectors.
• Do not remove and install an SFP transceiver more often
than is absolutely necessary. Doing so may shorten the use-
ful life of the transceiver.
Take the following steps to attach a transceiver.
1Disconnect all fiber-optic cables from an SFP transceiver
before installing or removing it.
2Remove the SFP transceiver from its protective
packaging.
3Align the SFP transceiver in front of the SFP slot opening.

4Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it snaps into
place.
"Your SFP transceiver has a mechanism that
prevents incorrect insertion. Do NOT force or
twist the SFP transceiver into a slot.
5Lock the transceiver into place (if your transceiver has a
locking mechanism).
"See the transceiver’s User’s Guide for more
information.

2.1.3 Install Fiber-optic Cable
Follow these procedures to install the fiber-optic cable.
Attach Wire Mounts
Remove the adhesive cover from the wire mounts and attach
them to the sides of the ES-315-F.
Insert Fiber-optic Cable
The ES-315-F has holes (labelled Ain the following figure)
through which you can insert fiber-optic cable.
1Insert a bushing into a hole through which you will insert
the fiber-optic cable.
2Create a hole in the bushing and thread the fiber-optic
cable through it.

2POWER: take the following steps to connect the included
power adaptor.
• Choose a hole in the ES-315-F to use for the power
cable. If you did not already cover the hole with a
bushing when you inserted the fiber-optic cable, do so
now.
• Create a hole in the bushing and thread the power
cable through it.
• Connect the power cable connector to the ES-315-F’s
POWER socket.
• Connect the power adaptor to a suitable power source.

"Use only the power adaptor that came with the
ES-315-F.
2.3 Check the LEDs
Look at the LEDs (lights) on the front of the ES-315-F.
•ThePWR/SYS LED turns green if the power is on.
•TheLAN 1, 2, 3 or 4and WAN LEDs turn on when the corre-
sponding ports are properly connected, and blink when there
is traffic.
VIf one of the LEDs does not behave as
expected, check the connection. Make sure the
device to which the corresponding port is
connected is turned on and working normally. If
this does not help, turn the ES-315-F off and on
again.
2.4 Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address
This section shows you how to set up your computer to
access the ES-315-F.

ES-315-F Quick Start Guide
You must set your computer to use a static IP address in the
192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. This ensures that your computer can
communicate with your ES-315-F.
The following instructions are for the Windows 2000,
Windows NT and Windows XP operating systems.
1In Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel.
In Windows 2000/NT, click Start > Settings > Control
