Frequently Asked Questions - ES3124RL Edimax

How to install the Edimax ES3124RL switch?

The switch is plug-and-play. Connect the power cable, then connect your network devices to the RJ-45 ports using straight or crossover Ethernet cables (auto MDI/MDI-X). No software configuration is required.

What are the meanings of the indicators?

The Power indicator is solid green when the device is powered on. The Link/Act indicator is solid green if the port is connected, blinks during activity, and is off if there is no connection.

Can I use this switch with Category 5 cables?

Yes, for 100 Mbps speed, use Cat. 5 UTP/STP cables with a maximum length of 100 meters.

Does the switch support full-duplex mode?

Yes, all ports support full-duplex mode with IEEE 802.3x flow control, allowing simultaneous transmission and reception.

How to mount the switch in a rack?

Use the included brackets and screws to mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack. The device can also be used on a flat surface.

Is the switch compatible with 10 Mbps networks?

Yes, it is backward compatible with 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) networks via auto-negotiation.

What to do if a Link/Act indicator does not light up?

Check the Ethernet cable connection on both sides. Ensure the connected device is powered on and the cable is not defective. Test with another port.

Can I connect multiple switches together?

Yes, you can interconnect switches using any port with a straight or crossover cable, thanks to the auto MDI/MDI-X feature.

What is the power consumption of the switch?

The consumption is approximately 13.2 W (internal power supply 3.3 V / 4 A).

Does the switch require a driver or software?

No, the switch is fully plug-and-play and requires no driver or installation software.

Introduction

This device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay), which means this switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.

Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI / MDI-X function; each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub with no crossover RJ-45 cable.

Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network bandwidth.

The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel can provide the operating status of individual port and whole system.

Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in this package :

One Rackmount Fast Ethernet Switch
- One power cord and one user's manual
- Rack-mount brackets and screws

LED Definition

Please refer to the following table for LED definition

LED Status Operation
Power	Steady Green Power is on
	Off Power is off
Link/Act	Steady Green The port is connected
	Blinking Green The port is transmitting/receiving data.
	Off	No connection

Stations Connection

Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the station's network adapter. Power on the switch and then system is ready. For cable selection, refer to the following table.

Switches Connection

In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the ports support auto MDI / MDI-X function, using a straight cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.

For cable selection, refer to the following table :

Network Speed	Cable Type	Max. Length
10Mbps Cat.	3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100Mbps Cat.	5 UTP/STP 100 meters

Rack-Mount

The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. The switch is supplied with two optional rack mounting brackets and screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.
