■10/100/1000BASE-T Uplink Ports
■100 Mb/s SFP Module Downlink Slots
■100/1000 Mb/s SFP Module Uplink Slots
■Dual-Purpose Fast Ethernet Uplink Ports
■Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
You can set the 10/100BASE-T downlink ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation in compliance with IEEE 802.3ab. (The default setting is autonegotiate.) When set for autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support, and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters). 100BASE-TX traffic requires CAT5 cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cables.
When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP phones, make sure that the cable is a straight-through cable.
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the command-line interface (CLI) to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.
The IEEE 802.3u 10/100BASE-T uplink ports provide full-duplex 10, 100 Mb/s connectivity over CAT5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cabling. The default setting is autonegotiate. The cable can be up to 100 m (0.1 km) in length.
The IEEE 802.3u 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports provide full-duplex 10, 100 or 1000 Mb/s connectivity over CAT5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cabling. The default setting is autonegotiate. The cable can be up to 100 m (0.1 km) in length.
The IEEE 802.3u 100 Mb/s SFP module downlink slots provide full-duplex 100 Mb/s connectivity over multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic transceiver module that accepts a dual local connector (LC). Check the SFP Module Cables for the cable type and length.
The IEEE 802.3u 100 Mb/s SFP module uplink slots provide full-duplex 100 or 1000 Mb/s connectivity over multi-mode fiber (MMF) or single-mode fiber (SMF) cables, or CAT5 (or later) cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. See SFP Module Cables for cable type and length.
The IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T copper SFP module slots provide full-duplex 1000Base-T connectivity over copper wire. These ports use a copper SFP transceiver module that accepts an RJ-45 connector. See SFP Module Cables for cable type and length.
You can configure the dual-purpose Fast Ethernet uplink ports on the switch as either 10/100BASE-T ports or as 100 Mb/s SFP-module ports. You can set the 10/100 ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10 or 100 Mb/s ports.
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100BASE-T or SFP). When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.

You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.
On certain models of the IE 2000 switch, four of the 10/100BASE-T ports are available as PoE ports. The four ports can operate as PoE (IEEE 802.3af) ports or can be configured to operate as PoE+ (IEEE 802.at) ports. Each PoE port requires 15.4 Watts of power while PoE+ requires 30 Watts. A 54VDC /1.2A power source (65W) can support 4 PoE ports or 2 PoE+ ports. A 170W power source is needed to power 4 PoE+ ports.
You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either the RJ-45 console port or the USB mini-Type B console port, also referred to as the USB-mini console port. These ports use the following connectors:
■RJ-45 console port uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
■USB-mini console port (5-pin connector) uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin mini-Type B cable.
The USB-mini console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
To use the USB-mini console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device that is connected to the USB-mini console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.
Note: For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 7, 8, and 10 USB Device Driver.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special drivers.
Note: The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors, but they are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 5.
The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB-mini console port is activated, but no input activity occurs for a specified time period. When the USB-mini console port deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB-mini console interface, see the switch software guide.
You connect the DC power to the switch through the front panel connectors. The switch has a dual-feed DC power supply; two connectors provide primary and secondary DC power (DC-A and DC-B). The DC power connectors are near the top right of the front panel (see Figure 2). Each power connector has an LED status indicator.
The switch power connectors are attached to the switch chassis. Each power connector has screw terminals for terminating the DC power (see Figure 6). All connectors are attached to the switch front panel with the provided captive screws.
The power connector labeling is on the panel. The positive DC power connection is labeled “ +”, and the return connection is labeled “ –”.
The switch can operate with a single power source or with dual power sources. When both power sources are operational, the switch draws power from the DC source with the higher voltage. If one of the two power sources fail, the other continues to power the switch.
In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to separate independent power sources. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
The IE 2000 switch models with PoE capability (IE-2000-16PTC-G-E, IE-2000-16PTC-G-L, and IE-2000-16PTC-G-NX) are equipped with an additional DC input terminal block. This DC terminal block allows the connection of a second power supply (see Power over Ethernet Ports), or a second input from site source DC power to operate the PoE ports. The PoE terminal block accepts 48 VDC or 54 VDC at 2.5 A.
You connect the alarm signals to the switch through the alarm connector. The switch supports two alarm inputs and one alarm output relay. The alarm connector is on the bottom right of the front panel. See Figure 3.
The alarm connector provides six alarm wire connections. The connector is attached to the switch front panel with the provided captive screws.
Both alarm input circuits can sense if the alarm input is open or closed. The alarm inputs can be activated for environmental, power supply, and port status alarm conditions. From the CLI, you can configure each alarm input as an open or closed contact.
The alarm output circuit is a relay with a normally open and a normally closed contact. The switch is configured to detect faults that are used to energize the relay coil and change the state on both of the relay contacts: normally open contacts close, and normally closed contacts open. The alarm output relay can be used to control an external alarm device, such as a bell or a light.
See the switch software configuration guide for instructions on configuring the alarm relays.
For more information about the alarm connector, see Cable and Connectors.
The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces. LC connectors provide fiber-optic connections; RJ-45 connectors for copper connections. You can use any combination of the supported SFP modules listed in Table 2.

The switch can operate with one or two DC power sources. Each DC input has an associated LED that shows the status of the corresponding DC input. 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.
If the switch has dual power sources, the switch draws power from the power source with the higher voltage. If one of the DC sources fails, the alternate DC source powers the switch, and the corresponding power status LED is green. The power status for the failed DC source is either off or red, depending on the alarm configuration.
The Power A and Power B LEDs show that power is not present on the switch if the power input drops below the low valid level. The power status LEDs only show that power is present if the voltage at the switch input exceeds the valid level.
For information about the power LED colors during the boot fast sequence, see Verifying Switch Operation.
Each port and SFP uplink slot has a status LED, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
Figure 10 shows the LEDs on a dual-purpose port. The LEDs show how the port is being used (Ethernet or SFP module). The LED colors have the same meanings as for the Port Status LEDs.

The PoE STATUS LED is located on the front panel of the IE 2000 switch models that are equipped with PoE ports.The LED displays the functionality and status of the PoE ports.
The switch supports a flash memory card that makes it possible to replace a failed switch without reconfiguring the new switch. The slot for the flash memory card is on the front of the switch. The flash card is hot swappable and can be accessed on the front panel. A cover protects the flash card and holds the card firmly in place. The cover is hinged and closed with a captive screw. This prevents the card from coming loose and protects against shock and vibration.
For more information on inserting and removing the flash memory card, see Installing or Removing the Flash Memory Card (Optional).
The rear panel of the switch has a latch for installation on a DIN rail. See Figure 11. The latch is spring-loaded to move down to position the switch over a DIN rail and return to the original position to secure the switch to a DIN rail.
