1 Unpacking
Open the carton and unpack the items. Your package
should include:
▪ One EX78000 switch
If any items are missing or damaged, notify your
EtherWAN representative. If possible, save the carton
and packing material in case you need to ship or store
the switch in the future.
2 Equipment Needed
▪ Category 5 or better cable for RJ-45 ports
▪ Appropriate fiber cables for fiber ports
▪ Appropriate SFP modules for SFP ports
▪ Personal computer with a DB-9 straight cable
3 Select a Location
▪ Installations: Desktop, Wall-mount, DIN-Rail
mount.
▪ Identify a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters).
▪ Choose a dry area with ambient temperature
between -40 and 75ºC (-40 and 167ºF).
▪ Be sure there is adequate airflow.
4 Connect to the Data Ports
Depending on the model, your switch can have the
following ports:
▪ 4 or 8 10/100BASE-TX Power over Ethernet (PoE)
ports
▪ 0, 2, or 4 100BASE-FX ports
▪ 2 Gigabit ports
10/100BASE-TX (PoE) and 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ports
Port 1 to 8 support PoE+ Power over Ethernet, and can
provide power to networked devices such as IP
Phones, Wireless LAN Access Points, and IP security
cameras with a power budget of 240 watts.
2 100/1000BASE SFP Slots
SFP transceivers can be installed directly into SFP slots.
Ensure that the same type of transceiver is used at
both ends of the link and that the correct type of fiber
cable is used.
100BASE-FX Fiber Ports
Some models are equipped with fiber optic ports
accepting SC & ST connectors instead of SFP slots.
Select an appropriate cable type according to your
distance and transmission rate needs.
5 Apply Power
The switch has a 52-57VDC terminal block for power
input. Only one power input is required to operate the
switch. However, redundant power supply
functionality is supported.
▪ IEEE802.3at: up to 30W/port, 52-57VDC
▪ 60 Watts/port, 52-57VDC
▪ 52VDC: 4.85A
▪ 57VDC: 4.45A
▪ Device power consumption: 10.4 Watts Max.
(Without PoE)
▪ PoE power budget: 240 Watts
Note: Only use qualified power supply, either
SELV or double insulated per UL 60950 or UL
61010-1 or UL 61010-2-201 standards.
Terminal Block
The switch provides two power inputs on a 52-57VDC
terminal block. Only one power input is required to
operate the switch. The terminal block has 5 terminal
posts.
