10/100/1000 PoE/PoE+ Ports (Downlinks)

You can set the 10/100/1000 ports on the switch to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, or 10 or 100 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. The default setting is autonegotiate.

When set for autonegotiation, the switch determines the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch negotiates the best connection (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).


Warning


Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072

The 10/100/1000 PoE ports on the Cisco IE-4010 switches provide PoE support for devices that are compliant with IEEE 802.3af/802.3at. The Cisco prestandard PoE is also supported for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points. The PoE ports on the switch deliver up to 30 W of PoE+ power. All twelve ports are PoE ports and can be assigned a port priority.

When both power-supply modules are installed, the system has enough power to support all twelve ports as PoE ports. The maximum available PoE power is 200W.

With one power module installed, the maximum available PoE power is 80W. In case one power-supply modules fails, the power to the low priority PoE ports is dropped, while power to the high priority PoE ports remains uninterrupted.

On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected.

The 10/100/1000 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires CA5, CAT5e, or CAT6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use CAT3 or CAT4 UTP cable.

For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

For information about port connections and port specifications, see Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports.


Note


The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.

Alarms

The switch has four alarm inputs and one alarm output.

Alarm Input

The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. You can connect up to four alarm inputs from devices, such as a door, a temperature gauge, or a fire alarm, to the alarm port. You can use the CLI to set the alarm severity to minor, or major. An alarm generates a system message and turns on an LED. See the ??? for the LED descriptions.

Alarm Output

The alarm output can be configured as a major alarm. Output alarms often control an external alarm, such as a bell or a light. To connect an external alarm device to the relay, you connect two relay contact wires to complete the electrical circuit. See for information on the alarm pinouts. see the Alarm Port.

Mini USB Port


Note


The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B.
Figure 2. USB Mini-Type B Port

The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB console port is activated, but no input activity occurs on it for a specified time period. When the USB 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 console interface, see the switch software guide.

SD Flash Memory Card

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 in non hazardous locations only. 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 Power-Supply Side.

Display Mode Button

The Display Mode Button allows you to choose the mode you want displayed by the port LEDs. The LEDs with green text to the left of the Button indicate the chosen display mode. Each time you press the switch, the mode indicator moves from SPEED, DUPLX, REDUN, SYNCE, and PoE respectively.

Power-Input Terminal

The power-input terminal provides screw terminals for the AC and DC power connections. The switch can operate with one or two power supplies. If one of the power sources fail, the other continues to power the switch. See Power Supply Installation for information.

Figure 3. Power-Input Terminal

100/1000 SFP Ports

The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable transceiver modules provide the interfaces. The IE 4010 supports both FE and GE optics. SFP modules have local connectors (LCs) for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections.

For the most up-to-date list of supported SFP models, see the IE 4010 Data Sheet.

For information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation and the Installing and Removing SFP Modules . For more information about SFP/SFP+ modules and cables, see Transceiver Modules.

Console 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 console port.

  • RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

  • USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector). The USB connection uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin mini-Type B cable.

The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.

To use the USB console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device that is connected to the USB console port (device running with Microsoft Windows). See Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 7, 8, and 10 USB Device Driver for more information.

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.

Switch Panel LEDs

You can use the switch system and port LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance.
