EISK5-GT/H Skorpion Gigabit Diagnostic Switch for Protocol Debugging Installation Guide The EISK5-GT/H gigabit switching hub is designed as an aid in diagnosing Ethernet communication issues and debugging software. This device has all of the features of a normal switch except that — like a repeating hub — it passes messages received by any port to all other ports. This allows the activity of all ports to be monitored by a “sniffer” attached to any port — an ability that would otherwise require the “port mirror” function of a more costly managed switch. The five ports of the EISK5-GT/H offer features that traditional repeating hubs do not. Each port supports Auto-MDIX — so either straight-through or crossover cabling can be used. The collision domain is terminated at each port so there is no cabling length limit — except that each segment cannot exceed the 100 m specification for Ethernet. Store-and-forward operation mitigates against lost messages. Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000Mbps. The EISK5-GT/H has five Auto-MDIX ports for attaching local devices. In addition to a power LED, each port has LEDs showing link/activity/rate. The EISK5-GT/H is powered from a low-voltage source and is provided with a writeable label for easy identification of the remote device attached to each cable.

Recommended size for solid power conductors is 16–22 AWG; for stranded conductors, use 16–18 AWG. COM is directly connected to zero volts and chassis is isolated from zero volts. Input connections are reverse-polarity protected. Network Connections The unit employs Auto-MDIX technology so that either straight-through or crossover cables can be used to connect to network interface adapters or to another hub. LED Indicators The “PWR” LED glows solid green when the switch is properly powered. To aid in troubleshooting, each port has two LEDs. The Port 1 LED labelled “H” glows if a link exists at 1000 Mbps (green) or at 100 Mbps (yellow). The LED labelled “L” is normally unlit but glows yellow if a 10 Mbps link exists. Either the “H” or “L” LEDs flash to show activity. The LEDs of Ports 2–5 are unlabeled but work the same. Need more help installing this product? For more information, visit www.ccontrols.com.
