You can use this installation procedure and the RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide, which contains detailed installation and configuration information for the RocketLinx ES7506.

If necessary, mount the RocketLinx ES7506 by attaching the DIN rail clip to the rear of the RocketLinx ES7506 to mount it on the DIN rail or mount the RocketLinx ES7506 to the wall.

Note

Make sure that the RocketLinx ES7506 is mounted in a well ventilated panel and in a location with a temperature under 60°C. High Power PoE feeding causes the system temperature to increase.

DO NOT TOUCH DEVICE SURFACE DURING PoE HIGH POWER FEEDING

Connect power to the RocketLinx ES7506.

PWR1 and PWR2 support power redundancy and polarity reverse protection functions. Positive and negative power system inputs are both accepted, but PWR1 and PWR2 must apply the same mode.

If both power inputs are connected, the RocketLinx ES7506 will be powered from the highest connected voltage. The unit will signal an alarm for loss of power in either PWR1 or PWR2.

Make sure the power terminal block is unplugged.
Insert the wires from the power supply into the terminal block connector contacts.

Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from becoming loose.

The terminal block accepts 12~24 AWG wire. Use a UL listed power supply with output rating of 24-55 VDC, minimum 2.5 A is recommended.

Electrial Specification	Power Input Voltage PWR1/2	PoE Output Voltage	Maximum PoE	Total Power Budget (Maximum)	Power Consumption (Maximum)
802.3af / Standard / Manual	48 (48-57VDC)	44-57V	5.4W	Up to 100W	8W without PD Load
802.3af / Ultra	55 (55-57VDC)	50-57V	30W	Up to 100W	8W without PD Load
Forced 15.4W	48 (48-57VDC)	44-57V	5.4W	Up to 100W	8W without PD Load
Forced 30W	55 (55-57VDC)	44-57V	30W	Up to 100W	8W without PD Load

The PWR1 / PWR2 LED blink during the boot cycle the and Power LED lights when ready.

The RocketLinx ES7506 provides one alarm relay output. The relay contacts are energized (open) for normal operation and will close under fault conditions that can include power failure, Ethernet port link break, or other predefined events that can be configured in the RocketLinx ES7506 user interface (web page) or Command Line Interface (CLI).

Wiring the alarm relay output is the same as wiring power inputs.
Connect the RocketLinx ES7506 to ground to ensure safety.
Connect standard Ethernet cables between the RocketLinx ES7506 Ethernet ports and the network nodes.

All of the Ethernet ports auto-detect the signal from connected devices to negotiate the link speed and duplex mode. Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.

The RocketLinx ES7506 four 10/100BASE-TX PoE ports (Ports 1 - 4) can deliver a maximum of 100W total.

Always make sure that the cables between the switch and attached devices (for example, switch, hub, or workstation) do not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
- 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
- 100BASE-TX: Category 5 cable
- IEEE 802.3af: Category 5 cable
Configure the IP address and the RocketLinx ES7506 features using one of the following methods:
- Web browser
- Telnet
- Command line interface (CLI) using the RS-232 console cable
The easiest way to configure the IP address for your network in the RocketLinx ES7506 is to use a Windows host and NetVision (see Programming the IP Address).

Programming the IP Address

The following procedure uses PortVision DX to program a static IP address. If you need to configure the RocketLinx ES7506 for DHCP you can use one of the other network configuration methods discussed in the RocketLinx RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide.

Install PortVision DX on a host system with a Windows operating system.

If you need assistance installing PortVision DX, see the RocketLinx RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide.
Start PortVision DX. PortVision DX can be started from Start --> All Programs --> Comtrol --> PortVision DX.
Click the Scan button.
Select the Comtrol product families that you want to locate and click the Scan button.
Configure the RocketLinx ES7506 IP address for your network.
1. Right-click the RocketLinx ES7506 in the Device List pane (lower) that you want to configure and click Properties.
2. Enter a user-friendly Device Name.
3. Optionally, enter the RocketLinx ES7506 serial number, which displays a friendly device name in the Device List pane on the main page.
4. Enter an appropriate IP Address for this RocketLinx ES7506.
5. Enter an appropriate Subnet Mask address for your network.
6. Optionally, select the appropriate Network Topology, which is an informational field.
7. Click the Apply Changes button.
8. Click Close to return to the main screen.
You are now ready to configure the RocketLinx ES7506 features.

Configuring RocketLinx ES7506 Features

The RocketLinx ES7506 provides both in-band and out-band configuration methods:

Out-band management means that you configure the RocketLinx ES7506 using the RS-232 console cable and the Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the RocketLinx ES7506 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You can also use out-band management, if you lose the network connection to the RocketLinx ES7506.
In-band management means that you connect remotely using the RocketLinx ES7506 IP address through the network. You can remotely connect with the RocketLinx ES7506 Java applet web interface or a Telnet console and the CLI.

The following procedure uses a web browser to configure RocketLinx ES7506 features. Refer to the RocketLinx RocketLinx ES7506 User Guide for other configuration methods.

If necessary, install the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment, which is required to run the web management interface.
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the RocketLinx ES7506.
Click Run when Java prompts you to run the applet.
Enter admin for both the user name and the password when prompted.
Use the web interface to configure your device as needed for your network.

You can refer to the RocketLinx ES7506 documentation library for additional information.
