Preface Audience This guide is for the network or computer technician responsible for installing Cisco IE 2000 series switches. We assume that you are familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area networks. Purpose This guide documents the hardware features of the Cisco IE 2000 switches. It describes the physical and performance characteristics of each switch, explains how to install a switch, and provides troubleshooting information.
Provided for additional information and to comply with regulatory and customer requirements. The safety warnings for this product are translated into several languages in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco IE 2000 Switch that ships with the product. The EMC regulatory statements are also included in that guide.
You can connect this switch to office networking devices such as Cisco IP phones, Cisco Wireless Access Points workstations, and other devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. In industrial environments, you can connect...

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.
Power over Ethernet Ports 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+ (IE 802.at) ports. Each PoE port requires 15.4 Watts of power while PoE+ requires 30 Watts.
PoE Power Connector 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...
Alarm Connector 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 on page The alarm connector provides six alarm wire connections.
SFP Modules 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 on page Table 2 SFP Module Maximum Operating Temperature by Model...

Power connector DC-A LED Note: On IE 2000 switches with PoE support, the two SFP ports and the associated LEDs are replaced by a PoE DC-input terminal block and a PoE LED. For more information, see PoE Status LED, page Express Setup LED The Express Setup LED displays the express setup mode for the initial configuration.
System LED The System LED shows whether the system is receiving power and is functioning properly. Table 4 System LED Color System Status System is not powered on. Blinking green Boot fast is in progress. Green System is operating normally. Switch is not functioning properly.
Power Status LEDs 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.
1 6 T Dual-purpose port LEDs PoE Status LED 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.
Caution: Non-compliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only standard-compliant cabling to connect Cisco pre-standard IP Phones and wireless access points or IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices. You must remove any cable or device that causes a PoE fault.
Cisco IOS CLI The switch CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and is enhanced to support desktop-switching features. You can fully configure and monitor the switch. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch management port, or a console port, or by using Telnet from a remote management station.

Use copper conductors only, rated at a minimum temperature of 167°F (75°C). Measure a single length of stranded copper wire long enough to connect the power converter to the earth ground. The wire color differs depending on country. For connections from the power converter to earth ground, use shielded 18-AWG stranded copper wire, such as Belden part number 9912 or the equivalent.

Verify that power is off to the DC circuit that you are going to attach to the switch PoE DC-input connector. This can be either of the two power supplies (AC-input or DC-input) or site source DC. As an added precaution, place the appropriate safety flag and lockout devices at the source power circuit breaker, or place a piece of adhesive tape over the circuit breaker handle to prevent accidental power restoration while you are working on the circuit.

Alarm signals are connected to the switch through the six-pin alarm connector. Three connections are dedicated to the two alarm input circuits: alarm input 1, alarm input 2, and a reference ground. An alarm input and the reference ground wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm input circuit. The three remaining connections are for the alarm output circuit: a normally open output, a normally closed output, and a common signal.

Position the SFP transceiver in front of the port socket opening. Note: Different Cisco devices have different SFP transceiver socket configurations. Your Cisco device might require that the SFP transceiver be installed with the bale-clasp either in a latch-up or a latch-down orientation. Verify that the SFP transceiver is oriented correctly when you position it in front of the port socket.
— Amber indicates that the port is discovering the network topology and searching for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green. — Off indicates that the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device.
Connecting to SFP Modules This section describes how to connect to a fiber-optic or copper SFP port. To connect to an RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port, Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port, page 70.
