Product Overview

Product Overview

Cisco Catalyst IE3100H Heavy Duty Series Switch is a IP66/IP67 rated compact entry-level managed L2 switch. The switch is specifically designed as an I/O Network Switch for PLC-level connectivity, available in 8 Gigabit Ethernet (X-coded) or 2 Gigabit Ethernet (X-coded) + 6 Fast Ethernet (D-coded) M12 interface models. These switches cater to deployments including of automotive manufacturing, food and beverage, clean rooms or other industrial environments that are required to be cleaned regularly with harsh-chemicals and support a 24x7 production process.

The switch is an enclosed type equipment, it can be wall mounted and deployed without a housing cabinet, under either indoor or outdoor environment with Pollution Degree 2.

Off

Switch is not powered on.

Blinking green

Boot fast (power-on self test) is in progress.

Green

Switch is operating normally.

Red

Switch is not functioning properly.

Express Setup Button

Express Setup is a web-based procedure to configure initial IP address information to the new switch. It provides a simple way to manage the switch and connect it to an existing network of local routers and the internet.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3100H Heavy Duty Series Switch front panel has an Express Setup button and a setup LED. The button is recessed to prevent accidental activation; you need a paper clip or similar object to press it. You trigger different Express Setup features by varying the amount of time that you press the button.

Table 3. Express Setup Modes

Mode

Seconds Required to Trigger Mode

Description

Short Press

1 to 5

Places the switch into Express Setup mode

Medium Press

6 to 10

Causes the switch to start DHCP discovery phase on the VLAN1 interface

Long Press

16 to 20

Causes the switch to erase its startup configuration and reload.

This in turn causes the switch to revert to its Day 1 default configuration.

When you first set up the switch, we recommend that you use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This process enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the switch through the IP address for more configuration.

For more information, see Running Express Setup.

Power Status LEDs

If power is present on the circuit, the LED is green. If power is not present, the LED color depends on the alarm configuration. If alarms are configured, the LED is red when power is not present; otherwise, the LED is off.

Table 5. Power Status LEDs
Color System Status

Green

Power is present on the associated circuit, system is operating normally.

Off

Power is not present on the circuit or the system is not powered up.

Red

An alarm has been configured to indicate that power is not present on the associated circuit or the power input dropped below the lowest valid level.

For information about the power LED colors and behaviors during the boot fast sequence, see the “LEDs” section.

Port status LEDs

Each 10/100BASE-T or 10/100/1000Base-T port (identified by numbers 1-8, depnding upon the the model) has a port status led.

Table 6. Port status LEDs

Color

Status

Off

No link.

Solid green

Link present. No activity.

Blinking green

Port is actively sending or receiving data.

Alternating green-amber

Link fault. Errors that affect connectivity and throughput, such as excessive collisions, CRC errors, and alignment and jabber errors, are monitored.

Solid amber

Port is not forwarding. The port was disabled by management, an address violation, or STP.

Note

 
After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can remain amber for up to 30 seconds while STP checks the switch for loops.

SD Card Connector

The switch supports an SD card that makes it possible to replace a failed switch without configuring the replacement switch. You can also use the SD card to copy files on and off the system.

Figure 5. SD Card slot and its cover

The connector is on the side of the switch, behind a cover that protects the SD card and holds it in place. The switch supports SD card of upto 16 GB storage capacity.
