Included in the box is the switch itself and it’s installation documentation. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your representative or reseller for support.
Obtain these necessary tools and equipment:
The switch supports a hot-swappable SD memory card (SD-IE-1GB) firmware and the startup configuration are stored, making it possible to replace a failed switch without reconfiguring the replacement switch.
The SD memory card cover protects the flash card against shock and vibration by holding the card in place. The cover is hinged and secured with captive screws. The slot for the SD memory card is located on the side of the switch.
To install or replace the SD memory card, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the side of the switch, loosen the captive screws until they are free of the chassis. See Figure 2-1.
Step 2 Install or remove the card:
Step 3 Close the guard door and fasten the captive screws to 15.93 to 19.47 in/lbs (1.8 -2.2Nm) to maintain IP67 compliance.
To configure the device, you can connect a PC or terminal to the console port and enter Cisco IOS commands through the CLI. This section describes the procedure for connecting a PC to the console port and using a terminal emulator application, such as Hyperterminal, to configure the device.
Step 1 Connect the 5-pole-to-DB-9 adapter cable to a 9-pin serial port on a PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the switch console port.
Step 2 Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC or the terminal. The program, frequently a PC application such as HyperTerminal, makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match the console port characteristics:
Step 4 Connect power to the switch as described in Connecting to Power.
Step 5 The PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. Press Enter to display the setup prompt. Follow the steps in the “Completing the Setup Program” section.
Step 6 To ensure IP67 compliance, make sure all console dust caps and cables are in place and torqued to 4.43 to 7.08 in/lbs (0.5 to 0.8 Nm).
You must supply a power solution for the device. PoE power is drawn from the single power connection; there is no separate power input for 44-57V (e.g.: with 24V input) for PoE. You must provide 44-57V input for PoE capability and 50-57V input for PoE+ capability.
If POE operation is not used, the input voltage should be between 12V and 60Vdc
Figure 2-2 Cisco IP67 160W Power Supply (optional)
If a Cisco IP67 DC/DC PoE power supply is used (See Figure 2-2) to supply power to the switch, connect the female end of circular mini-change cable to the power connector on the switch and male end to the PoE power supply. The recommended Molex part number for the 1 meter IP67 cable is 1300100864.
Note The recommended length for the IP67 output cable is 1 meter.
If a custom power supply is used, use the power cable with pig tail ends. Connect the female end of the circular mini-change cable to the power connector on the switch (torque = 10in/lbs) and connect the pigtail to the non-standard power supply.
The open / pigtail end has four wires for feeds A and B. Connect the wires from A+ and A- to the positive and negative terminals of custom power supply. If redundancy is needed, connect the wires from B+ and B- to the positive and negative terminals of the second power supply. If redundancy is not needed, the terminal B+ and B- should not be connected to the A+ and A- terminals respectively. The recommended torque to achieve IP67 compliance is 10 in-lbs (1.13 Nm) for the power input connector on the switch, power output and input connector on the Cisco IP67 power supply.
Follow any grounding requirements at your site.
Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded to comply with emission and immunity requirements. Ensure that the switch functional ground lug is connected to earth ground during normal use. Statement 1064
A ground lug is not supplied with the switch. You can select from these options:
To ground the switch to earth ground by using the ground screw, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a standard Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the ground screw from the switch. Store the ground screw for later use.
Step 2 Use the manufacturer guidelines to determine the wire length to be stripped.
Step 3 Insert the ground wire into the ring terminal lug, and using a crimping tool, crimp the terminal to the wire. See Figure 2-3. If two ring terminals are being used, repeat this action for a second ring terminal.
Figure 2-3 Crimping the Ring Terminal
Step 4 Slide the ground screw through the terminal.
Step 5 Insert the ground screw into the ground screw opening.
Step 6 Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to tighten the ground screws and ring terminal to the switch front panel to 3.5 in-lb (0.4 N-m). The torque must not exceed 3.5 in-lb (0.4 N-m).
Step 7 Attach the other end of the ground wire to a grounded, bare metal surface, such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN rail, or a grounded bare rack.
Step 1 Measure a single length of stranded copper wire long enough to connect the power supply to the earth ground. The wire color might differ depending on the country that you are using it in.
Note For connections from the power supply to earth ground, use 10 to 12-AWG stranded copper wire.
Step 2 Connect one end of the stranded copper wire to a grounded bare metal surface, such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN rail, or a grounded bare rack.
Connect the other end of the wire to the grounding screw on the power supply. Only wire with insulation should extend from the connection.
Note The position of the power supply may vary on different switch models.
Step 3 Tighten the earth-ground wire connection screw.
Note Torque to 8 in.-lb, not to exceed 10 in-lb.
When the switch powers on, it automatically initiates a boot fast sequence. The boot fast sequence allows the switch to boot up in less than 60 seconds.
When you power on the switch, it automatically begins a boot fast sequence. The System LED blinks green as the Cisco iOS firmware image loads. If the boot fast sequence fails, the System LED turns red.
Note Boot fast failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco TAC if your switch does not complete boot fast successfully. See also the “Related Publications” section.
Note You can disable the boot fast and run POST by using the Cisco IOS CLI. See the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference for more information.
Use Express Setup to enter the initial IP management information. You can then access the switch through the IP address for additional configuration.
You need this equipment to set up the switch:
Note Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on your browser and any wireless client running on your PC.
Step 1 Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.
During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, write down the PC static IP address and temporarily configure your PC settings to use DHCP before going to the next step.
Step 2 Connect power to the switch.
See the instructions in the “Connecting to Power” section.
The boot fast sequence begins. This process can take up to 60 seconds. During boot fast, the SYS LED blinks green, and the other LEDs turn steady green. When boot fast is complete, the SYS LED turns steady green and the other LEDs turn off.
If the SYS LED is off (system not powered on), continues to blink green (POST in progress), or is solid red (Fault), contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Step 3 Press the Express Setup button (located next to the SD Card cover) for 2 to 3 seconds. This button is recessed behind the panel, so you can use a simple tool, such as a paper clip.
When you press the Express Setup button, a switch port LED begins blinking green.
Step 4 Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the blinking switch port to the Ethernet port on your PC.
The port LEDs on your PC and on the switch blink green while the switch configures the connection. The steady green port LEDs indicate a successful connection.
If the port LEDs do not turn green after about 30 seconds, make sure that:
Step 5 Start a browser session on the PC. A login prompt appears.
Step 6 Leave the username blank and enter the default password cisco .
The Express Setup window appears.
If the Express Setup window does not appear, make sure that any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on your browser are disabled and that any wireless client is disabled on your PC.
Step 7 Enter the following Network Settings parameters in English letters and Arabic numbers:
Note You must change the password from the default password, cisco.
Step 8 Enter the Control Industrial Protocol (CIP) VLAN settings:
For more information about the CIP VLAN settings, click Help on the toolbar.
Step 9 You can enter the optional information now or enter it later by using Device Manager. For more information about the Express Setup fields, see the online help for the Express Setup window.
For more information about the optional settings, click Help on the toolbar.
Step 10 Click Submit to save your changes and to complete the initial setup.
The switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode.
The browser displays a warning message and tries to connect with the earlier switch IP address. Typically, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost because the configured switch IP address is in a different subnet from the IP address on the PC.
Step 11 Turn off power at the source, disconnect all cables to the switch, and physically install the switch in your network.
If you changed the static IP address on your PC in Step 1, change it to the previously configured static IP address.
You can now manage the switch by using the Cisco Network Assistant, Device Manager, or CLI.
Display Device Manager by following these steps:
Step 1 Start a web browser on your PC or laptop.
Step 2 Enter the switch IP address, username, and password (assigned in Step 6) in the web browser, and press Enter . The Device Manager page appears.
If the Device Manager page does not appear:
After the switch is installed, you can connect the alarm.
For instructions on grounding the switch and connecting it to power, see the “Connecting to Power” section.
Use M12 A-coded cable to connect to the alarm connector on the switch. Recommended torque is 4.43 to 7.08 in/lbs (0.5 to 0.8 Nm).
The recommended cable part number from Molex is 1200650523. One end of the cable has M12 A-coded connector and the other end is open.
The labels for the alarm connector are on the switch panel and are displayed in Table 2-1 .
These section provides information about connecting to the destination ports.
The switch 10/100/1000 ports automatically configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
The models that support PoE provide up to four ports of either PoE (15.4 W per port; IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (30 W per port; IEEE 802.3at), depending on the power source used. See Power Requirements.
To connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T devices, follow these steps:
Step 1 When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP phones, connect a straight-through cable to a M12 connector (IP67 Torque: 4.43 to 7.08 in/lbs or 0.5 to 0.8 Nm) on the front panel. See .
When connecting to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Software Configuration Guide or the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference .
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a M12 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when both the switch and the connected device have established a link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn on:
Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
Step 5 To ensure IP67 compliance, make sure all alarm dust caps and cables are in place and torqued to 4.43 to 7.08 in/lbs (0.5 to 0.8 Nm).
If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:
You can use Device Manager web interface to manage and monitor individual switches. Device Manager can be accessed from anywhere in your network through a web browser by using the management IP address of the switch. For more information, see the Device Manager online help.
The switch CLI is a version of Cisco iOS firmware that can be used to configure and monitor the switch. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote management station. See the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for more information.
