2.5 Ethernet RJ45 Connections
The ESML6-P3 offers 6, 10/100 Base T/TX RJ45 ports numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.
(see Figure 2.1). Each port is adaptive and supports auto MDI/MDI-X connection.
They can be connected by either straight through or cross-over cables to terminal
devices, servers, hubs or other switches. Each switch supports IEEE802.3x so the
optimum transmission mode (either half-duplex or full-duplex) and data rate (either
10Mbps or 100Mbps) will be selected automatically. The connected devices should
support this feature too however, if the connected devices are not adaptive, the port
will send at the correct rate but with default mode of half-duplex.
2.6 SFP Ports
The ESML6-P3 has three 1000M SFP ports which can be configured as either fiber or
copper ports, in any combination by use of the correct SFP modules. The SFP
modules need to be purchased separately.
2.6.1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 Interfaces
The ESML6-P3 can offer up to three 1000Base-TX RJ45 ports. The port numbers are
7, 8 & 9 (see Figure 2.1). Two of these ports can be used to form a redundant ring
network with a recovery time of less than 50ms.
2.6.2 Gigabit Fiber Optic Interfaces
The ESML6-P3 can offer up to three 1000Base-SX/LX/LH/ZX LC full duplex optical
interfaces. The port numbers are 7, 8 & 9 (see Figure 2.1). Two optical fiber
interfaces can be used to form a redundant ring network with a recovery time of less
than 50ms.
