The 10/100Mbps UTP/STP ports will auto-sense 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections.
Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation
without needing to change cables to a straight through or crossover cable. The figures
below show the wiring for both straight and crossover cables.
[NOTE] ‘+’ and ‘–‘ signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
All ports on the IFE-8T2GB-MXE support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, users can use
straight-through cables (See figure below) for all network connections to PCs or servers,
or to other switches or hubs. With straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end
of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the
cable. The table below shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.
First, press the upper side of the LC connector to release from the transceiver and pull it
out.
Second, push down the metal loop and pull the transceiver out by the plastic handle.
single-mode connectors must use 9/125 µm single-mode fibre cable. Users can
connect two devices in the distance up to 30 Kilometers.

5. To remove the wall mount plate, reverse the steps above.
Installation Steps
1. Unpack the IFE-8T2GB-MXE Industrial Switch.
2. Check if the DIN-Rail is screwed onto the switch. If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on
and it is required please refer to the DIN-Rail Mounting section for installation. If the
wall mounting is to be used for the IFE-8T2GB-MXE Industrial switch, then please
refer to Wall Mount Plate Mounting section for wall mount plate installation.
3. To hang the IFE-8T2GB-MXE Industrial switch onto the DIN-Rail track or wall, please
refer to the Mounting Installation section.
4. Power on the IFE-8T2GB-MXE Industrial switch. Please refer to the Wiring the
Power Inputs section to determine how to wire the power. The power LED on the
Industrial switch will light up. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for indication
of LED lights.
5. Prepare the twisted-pair, straight through Category 5e cable for Ethernet connection.
6. Insert one side of RJ-45 cable (category 5e) into the IFE-8T2GB-MXE switch
Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) and another side of RJ-45 cable (category 5e) to the
network device’s Ethernet port (RJ-45 port), e.g. Switch PC or Server. The UTP port
(RJ-45) LED on the Industrial switch will light up when the cable is connected with
the network device. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light
indication.
7. When all connections are made and the LED’s show ‘normal’, the installation is
complete.
X-Ring Application
The IFE-8T2GB-MXE switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network
system to recover from network connection failures within 10ms or less, and make the
network system more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) and Rapid STP (RSTP) algorithm but its recovery time is very much quicker than
STP/RSTP. The figure below is a sample of X-Ring application.
Dual Homing prevents any single point of failure from creating a loss of connection
between X-Ring groups and the head end switches. Assign one port per ring to be the
Dual Homing port and one standard port for the path out. Note The Dual Homing
function only works when the X-Ring function is active, and each X-Ring group while
having two paths out only has ‘one’ port assigned as the ‘Dual homing Port’
[NOTE] In Dual Homing application architecture, the ‘Head end’ switches need to enable
the Rapid Spanning Tree protocol.
[NOTE] In this configuration do not enable more than 1 ring Master per X-ring
[NOTE] Only 2 ports set to ‘Dual Homing’ per ring, these cannot be on the Ring Master

State: Is set by Port Control. When the state is disabled, the port will not transmit
or receive any packets.
Tx Good Packet: The number of good packets transmitted via this port.
Tx Bad Packet: The number of bad packets transmitted (including undersize [less
than 64 octets], oversize, CRC Align errors, fragments and jabbers packets) via this
port.
Rx Good Packet: The number of good packets received via this port.
Rx Bad Packet: The number of good packets received (including undersize [less
than 64 octets], oversize, CRC error, fragments and jabbers) via this port.
Tx Abort Packet: The number of aborted packet while transmitting.
Packet Collision: The number of collision packets.
Packet Dropped: The number of dropped packets.
Rx Bcast Packet: The number of broadcast packets.
Rx Mcast Packet: The number of multicast packets.
Port Control
In Port control, you can view the port status of every port according to the configuration
setting and the negotiation results.
1. Port: select the port that you want to configure.
2. State: Current port status. The port can be set to disable or enable mode. If the port
setting is disable then will not receive or transmit any packet.
3. Negotiation: set auto negotiation status of port.
4. Speed: set the port link speed.(If using SFP’s the data rate is derived from the SFP)
5. Duplex: set full-duplex or half-duplex mode of the port.
6. Flow Control: set flow control function is Symmetric or Asymmetric in Full Duplex
mode. The default value is Symmetric.
7. Security: When its state is ‘On’, means this port accepts only one MAC address.
8. Click Apply .
Aggregator setting
1. System Priority: a value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the
lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.
2. Group ID: There are three trunk groups to provide configure. Choose the ‘Group
3. LACP: If enabled, the group is an LACP static trunk group. If disabled, the group is
local static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunk groups. If connecting
to a device that also supports LACP, then the LACP dynamic trunk group will be
automatically created.
4. Work ports: allows a maximum of four ports that can be aggregated at the same
time. With LACP static trunk group, the additional ports are standby ports and can
be aggregated if working ports fail. If they are on the local static trunk group, the
number of ports must be the same as the group member ports.
5. Select the ports to join the trunk group. A max four ports can be aggregated at the
same time. Click Add button to add the port. To remove unwanted ports, select
6. If LACP is enabled, you can configure LACP Active / Passive status in each of the

button.
9. LACP Port trunking can be used in at the same time as ‘X-ring’
Aggregator Information
When you have setup the aggregator setting with LACP disabled, you will see the local
static trunk group information here.
You can mark or un-mark each port. When you mark the port and click the Apply
button the port state activity will change to Active. The opposite state is Passive.
Active: The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
Passive: The port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets, and
responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.
[NOTE]
1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform
dynamic LACP trunk.
2. A link has two passive LACP ports will not perform dynamic LACP trunk because
both ports are waiting for an LACP protocol packet from the opposite device.
3. If you set active LACP’s after you have selected the trunk ports, the active status
will be created automatically.
Destination Port: Only one port can be selected to be the destination (mirror) port
for monitoring both RX and TX traffic from the source port. Alternatively it’s possible
to use two ports for monitoring. One for RX traffic only and the other for TX traffic
only. Users can connect mirrored ports to LAN network analysers
Source Port: The ports that the user wants to monitor. All monitored port traffic will
be copied to the mirror (destination) port. Users can select multiple source ports by
checking the RX or TX check boxes to be monitored.
All the ports support port ingress and egress rate control. For example, assume port
1 is 10Mbps, users can set it’s effective egress rate is 1Mbps, ingress rate is
500Kbps. The switch performs the ingress rate by packet counter to meet the
specified rate
Ingress: Enter the port effective ingress rate(The default value is ‘0’)
Egress: Enter the port effective egress rate(The default value is ‘0’)
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN groups, it has to be either
capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or be attached to a VLAN-aware
bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based
on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the
protocol.
Click Add to add a new VLAN group(The maximum VLAN group is up to 64 VLAN
groups)
Entering the VLAN name, group ID and grouping the members of VLAN group
[NOTE] Remember to execute the ‘Save Configuration’ otherwise the new configuration
will be lost when the switch is powered off.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the switch
is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request using the
VID of a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that device to the
existing VLAN.

Users can modify RSTP state. After modification, click Apply button
RSTP mode: users must enable or disable the RSTP function before
configuring RSTP related parameters
Priority (0-61440): a value used to identify the root bridge. The bridge with the
lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. If the value
changes, users must reboot the switch. In accordance with RSTP rules the
priority value must be in multiples of 4096.For example 4096, (x2) 8192, (x3)
12,288, (x4) 20,480, (x5) 24,576, (x6) 28672 etc.
Max Age (6-40): the number of seconds a bridge waits without receiving the
Spanning-tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting a
reconfiguration. Enter a value between 6 through 40
Hello Time (1-10): the time that controls the switch sending out the BPDU
packet to check RSTP current status. Enter a value between 1 through 10
Forward Delay Time (4-30): the number of seconds a port waits before
changing from its Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to
the forwarding state. Enter a value between 4 through 30
[NOTE] Follow the rule to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time, and Forward
Delay Time.
2 x (Forward Delay Time value –1) > = Max Age value >= 2 x (Hello Time
value +1)

SNMP Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage
nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP
enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network
problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems such as
CaseView learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices
that are SNMP enabled.

TOS priority: the system provides 0~63 TOS priority levels. Each level has 4 types
of priority – high, middle, low, and lowest.
The default value is ‘Lowest’ priority for each level.
When an IP packet is received, the system will check the TOS level value in that IP
packet.
For example, if a user has set TOS level 25 to be high, and port 1 is following the TOS
priority policy only, when a packet is received on port 1, the system will check the TOS
value of the received packet. If the TOS value of the received packet is 25 (priority =
high), then the packet will have highest priority.

The IFE-8T2GB-MXE switch supports IP multicasting, and you can enable the IGMP
protocol on the web management’s switch setting under the ‘advanced page’. This
displays the IGMP snooping information.
IP multicast addresses range are from 224.0.0.0 through to 239.255.255.255.

In the X-Ring topology, every switch should be set to use X-Ring and assign two
member ports for the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group should be set as a Ring
master switch and that switch detects a loop and closes one of its ports, leaving the
second port open. The closed port is then called the backup port, and the active port is
called the ‘working port. Other switches in the X-Ring group are called working switches
and their two member ports are called working ports. By looking at the management
interface of the switch the network manager can view both X-ring ports, and see
forwarding on the Ring switches and will notice on the Ring master switch one port is set
to forwarding and the other is listed as ‘Blocked’
When a network failure occurs, the backup port will automatically become a working port
to recover the failure, and the Ring Master will show the previously blocked port as now
forwarding.
Each and every switch can be a Ring Master or Slave switch. The network manager sets
up which switch is Ring Master from the switches management interface.
The Ring Master can negotiate and place commands to other switches in the X-Ring
group. If there are 2 or more switches set to Ring Master, then software will
automatically select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the Ring Master.
Users can identify which switch has become the Ring Master from the R.M. LED panel
of the LED panel on the switch. NB. It is advisable to use just one Ring Master
especially if running dual homing.
The system also supports the coupling ring protocol to allow managers to connect 2 or
more X-Ring groups for redundant backup and dual homing to prevent connection loss
between X-Ring groups and the higher level / core switches.

Enable Ring Master: Mark the check box for enabling this machine to be a ring
master.
1st & 2nd Ring Ports: Pull down the selection menu to assign two ports as member
ports. 1st Ring Port is the working port and 2nd Ring Port is the backup port to be
used if the 1st Ring Port fails, when the system will automatically set the 2nd Ring
Port to be the working port.
Enable Coupling Ring: To enable the coupling ring function. Select the check box
to enable the coupling ring function.
Coupling port: Assign the member port.
Control port: Set the switch as the master switch in the coupling ring.
Enable Dual Homing: Set up one of the ports on the switch to be the Dual Homing
port. In an X-Ring group, the maximum number Dual Homing ports is one, although
two ports per ring go the head end switches. Dual Homing only works when the X-
Ring is enabled.

Misc Configuration
1. Quiet Period: set the period during which the port doesn’t try to acquire a
supplicant.
2. TX Period: set the period the port waits for retransmitting the next EAPOL PDU
during an authentication session.
3. Supplicant Timeout: set the period of time the switch waits for a supplicant
response to an EAP request.
4. Server Timeout: set the period of time the switch waits for a server response to an
authentication request.
5. Max Requests: set the number of authentication that must time-out before
authentication fails and the authentication session ends.
6. Reauth period: set the period of time after which clients connected must be re-
authenticated.

Save Configuration
Save all configuration changes that you have made to the system. To ensure the all
configuration will be saved. Click Save to save the all configuration to the flash
memory.
System Reboot
Reboot the switch in software reset. Click Reboot to reboot the system.
Verify that you have the right power cord/adapter (DC 12-48V), please don’t use the
power adapter with a DC output higher than 48V, or the switch will be damaged.
Select the proper UTP cable to build the network. Please check that you’re using
the right cable. Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable
with RJ-45 connections. 100Ω Category 5e or above cable for 100/1000Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not
exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Diagnosing LED Indicators: the Switch can be monitored through the panel
indicators, which can identify common problems the user may encounter and find it
easier to identify problems.
If the power indicator does not light when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with power cord. Check for a loose power connections, power
losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your
local Case Communications reseller for assistance.
If the IFE-8T2GB-MXE switch LED indicators are normal and the cables are
correctly connected but the your unable to send or receive data, please check your
system’s Ethernet devices’ configuration status. Check that the attached devices
don’t require the Ethernet ports set to a fixed data rate or flow control negotiation.
