Getting to Know the ES-2024
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the ES-2024.
The ES-2024 is a stand-alone Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two gigabit (1Gbps or 1000Mbps) ports
and two slots for mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to port-
level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click
your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the
console port, or third-party SNMP management.
1.1 Features
The next two sections describe the hardware and firmware features of the ES-2024.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
Power
The ES-2024 requires 100~240VAC/0.55A power.
24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports
Connect up to 24 computers or switches to the 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating, automatic cable sensing (auto-MDIX)
Ethernet RJ-45 ports. All Ethernet ports support:
IEEE 802.3/3u/3z/3ab standards
Back pressure flow control in half duplex mode
IEEE 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode
Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Two)
The gigabit ports (two) allow the ES-2024 to connect to another WAN switch or daisy-chain to other switches.
Two Slots for Mini GBIC Modules
The mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) module transceivers allow flexibility in connection options. You can
use mini GBIC transceivers for fiber connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
Stacking
Up to eight switches may be stacked.
Console Port
Use the console port for local management of the switch.
