2. Hardware description
This product operates at two different running speeds – 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The switch automatically
distinguishes the speed of incoming connection.
This section describes the hardware features of ES2001-4P-4T. For easier management and control of the Switch,
familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED
indicators. Before connecting any network device to the ES2001-4P-4T, please read this chapter carefully.
In the following section, the term
“Switch”
means the Switch device, i.e. ES2001-4P-4T; the term
“switch”
can be
any third party switches
2.1 Product Description
The ES2001-4P-4T is equipped with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable ports providing dedicated 10 or 100Mbps
bandwidth. The ES2001-4P-4T supports MDI/ MDI-X for auto sensing the use of either CAT5 ‘patch’ or CAT5
‘crossover’ cables on each of the 8 x 10/100Mbps ports. The Switch also provides PoE injection function on ports
#1, 2, 3, 4, which is able to drive 4 x IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices. Each 10/100Mbps port can
supports up to 200Mbps of throughput in full-duplex mode, the ES2001-4P-4T also provides a simple,
cost-effective, and highly reliable network connection for data as well as power. Furthermore, it is the ideal device
for bridging among Ethernet, Fast Ethernet workgroups and networks.
With 4 PoE interfaces, the ES2001-4P-4T is ideal for small business and workgroups requiring to deploy the PoE for
the wireless access points, IP-based surveillance camera or IP phones in any places easily, efficiently and cost
effective.
The front panel of ES2001-4P-4T provides LEDs for easy recognition of the switch operation status and
troubleshooting. These LED indicators display the power status for the system, LNK/ACT and speed for
each10/100M port. Also the PoE in use LED indicates for PoE ports (port#1 to port#4).
With data and power over Ethernet from one unit, the ES2001-4P-4T reduces the need for additional cables and
eliminates the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place. The CAT5 cable
carries both data and power lowering the installation costs, simplifying the installation effort and eliminating the need
for electricians or extension cords.
2.2 Front Panel
The Front Panel of the ES2001-4P-4T PoE Ethernet Switch consists of 8x Auto-Sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet
RJ-45 Ports. The LED Indicators are also located on the front panel of the ES2001-4P-4T.
