You can use the following procedure to connect the RocketLinx ES8510-XT or the RocketLinx ES8510 and RocketLinx ES8510-XT User Guide, which contains detailed installation information.

Connect power to the RocketLinx ES8510-XT.

PW1 and PW2 support power redundancy and polarity reverse protection functions. Positive and negative power system inputs are both accepted, but PW1 and PW2 must apply the same mode.

If both power inputs are connected, the RocketLinx ES8510-XT will be powered from the highest connected voltage. The unit will signal an alarm for loss of power in either PW1 or PW2.

Note
Remember to unplug the power terminal block before making wire connections, otherwise the screwdriver can inadvertently short the terminal connections to the grounded enclosure.

Insert the wires (12-24 AWG) from the power supply into the terminal block connector contacts.
Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent DC wires from becoming loose.

The PW1/PW2 LED turns red during the boot cycle and turns green when the unit is ready. The recommended working voltage is 12 to 48VDC.

If desired, connect the digital input or relay output.

The RocketLinx ES8510-XT provides one digital input and one digital output (dry relay output) on the terminal block connector on the bottom of the switch. The fault conditions can be configured in the web interface and include:
- DI State
- Dry output
- Power failure
- Link failure
- Ping failure
- Super Ring failure
The Digital Input pin can be pulled high or low so that the connected equipment can actively drive these pins. The web interface allows you to read and set the value to the connected device. The power input voltage of logic low is 0 to 10VDC and logic high is 11 to 30VDC. Do not apply a higher voltage than the specification; it may cause internal circuit damage or a cause an incorrect DI action.

Digital output relay contacts are energized (open) for normal operation and will close for fault conditions. The digital output relay contacts support up to 1A at 30VDC. Do not apply voltage and current higher than the specifications.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires (12-24 AWG) into V+ and V-.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from coming loose.
Wire the earth ground.

To ensure the system is not damaged by noise or any electrical shock, we suggest that you to make an exact connection between the RocketLinx ES8510-XT and earth ground. On the bottom side of the RocketLinx ES8510-XT, there is one earth ground screw. Loosen the earth ground screw with a screw driver; then tighten the screw after the earth ground wire is connected.

If you are going to mount the RocketLinx ES8510-XT on a grounded DIN rail, you do not need to also connect the ground wire.

Connect the appropriate Ethernet cables between the RocketLinx ES8510-XT 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.
- Ports 1-7 are Fast Ethernet ports that support 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, full- or half-duplex modes
- Combo RJ45/SFP Ports 8-10 support 10/100BASE-TX half- or full-duplex and 1000BASE-TX full-duplex.
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
- 1000BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable
Optionally, connect the SFP transceivers. Cross-connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at the opposite end .

The RocketLinx ES8510-XT three Gigabit SFP ports are combo ports with the Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports. The speed of the SFP port supports 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX. The SFP ports accept standard mini-GBIC SFP transceivers. To ensure system reliability, Comtrol recommends using Comtrol certified SFP transceivers. The certified SFP transceivers includes 100BASE-FX Single/Multi-Mode, 1000BASE-SX/LX. Single/Multi-Mode ranges from 550m to 80km.

The SFP and corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode. Traffic sent or received through the SFP module will have priority thus no traffic will be sent or received over the corresponding RJ45 connection. To use the RJ45 connection, remove the corresponding SFP module.

Note
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare at the Laser/LED Beam.

The SFP port does not function until the fiber cable is linked to another active device. When the SFP module is plugged in and there is no active connection (link) on the fiber, then the Gigabit port will link.
1. Plug the SFP transceiver into the SFP fiber transceiver.
2. Connect the transmit channel to the receive channel at each end.
3. Check the direction/angle of the fiber transceiver and the fiber cable.
