Overview
1.1
Introduction
This manual covers the ESML6-FL2 series. The KBC ESML6-FL2 products are high
performance, managed, eight-port industrial Ethernet switches designed for use in a
wide range of operating temperatures in non-environmentally conditioned, industrial
applications. Redundancy is offered through the DT-Ring technology that recovers
cable or port failures automatically in less than 100ms. The unit has redundant
power supply terminals and an alarm output for power supply and uplink port
failure.
1.1.1
ESML6-FL2
The ESML6-FL2 is a managed switch which provides 6, 10/100 twisted pair copper
ports two of which can be configured as uplink redundant ports and an additional
two uplink, full-duplex, multimode or singlemode 100Mbps fiber ports. The switch is
capable of dual redundant ring operation. Each copper port supports a self-adaptive
function allowing it to be configured to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX, full or half-duplex
operation mode, supporting automatic MDI/MDI-X connection. The settings of the
DIP switch (see Page 9) sets the mode of uplink ports 1,2,4 & 8 (see Figure. 2.1) as
either straight-through, redundant, master or slave. The switch is available as either
a DIN rail or wall-mount configuration.
