1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This manual covers the ESML6-P3 series. The KBC ESML6-P3 products are high
performance, managed, nine 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 50ms. The unit has redundant power
supply terminals and an alarm output for power supply failure.
1.1.1 ESML6-P3
The ESML6-P3 is a nine port managed switch which provides six, 10/100 twisted pair
copper ports and an additional three 1000M Gigabit Small Form Pluggable (SFP)
connector interfaces. 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 three Gigabit SFP ports can be
either 1000Base-SX/LX/LH/ZX LC fiber ports or 1000Base-TX RJ45 copper ports in
any combination. Two Gigabit ports can be used to make up a ring network with the
third providing an uplink port. The switch is available as either a DIN rail or wall-
mount configuration.
