IDS-509C Hardware Installation Guide
Connecting Data Ports
Ethernet Connections
By default all of the 10/100/1000 ports will automatically set themselves up to match the
speeds of all attached devices. If auto negotiation is not supported by one or more attached
devices, the ports can be configured to operate at fixed speeds and duplex settings.
Warnin
g:
In hazardous location installations, failure to remove the power from the source
prior when completing the wiring connections to the Ethernet ports could cause an electri
-
cal arc resulting in a possible explosion.
To connect to 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T follow these steps:
1. When connecting to devices, workstations, servers or routers connect a straight
through Ethernet cable to a 10/100/1000 RJ45 connector on the front of the IDS
switch. Gigabit Ethernet requires CAT5 or better.
2. Once the device is connected and link is established the link LEDs will turn on. These
LEDs will indicate whether you have a 10,100 or 1000 Mb/s link to the switch. See.
(LED Indicators) for more details.
Note:
It may take a few seconds for the device to become active. By default the IDS
switch will have Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) protocol enabled. This protocol will first
check the network for any cabling loops prior to bringing the port up, in order to prevent
network disruptions.
SFP Connections
Inserting the SFPs
SFP modules are inserted in the SFP slots on the front of the IDS switch.
1. Align the SFP module in front of the slot to establish alignment.
2. Insert the module and push inwards with your thumb until you hear a click. Do not
force the SFP module in. SFP modules are keyed so you can only insert them one way.
3. If the SFP module is equipped with a clasp, ensure the clasp is in the locked position.
4. The appropriate fiber cable can now be connected to the SFP module.
