Installation Requirements

Wiring

The EthIR Switch (ES208 / 216 / 608) requires standard UTP Category 3 or 5 wire with 4-pair wiring to the EthIR Beam. The EthIR Switch (ES101/301/3011b/1000) single port uses a mini-DIN connector cable. The EthIR Switch uplink supports both 100Base-T, 10Base-T Ethernet and 802.11b RF. Please note: 100Base-T4 is not supported.

Power (ES 208 / 216 / 608)

The EthIR Switch automatically detects and supports both the US and European 110/220 power supply and configures itself accordingly.

Power (ES101 / 301 / 3011b / 1000)

The ES101 will have a power supply specific to the installed region.

Resetting

To reset the system, unplug the EthIR Switch power cord and wait at least 4 seconds before plugging the unit in again.
