EISK8-100T/F_ Series  
Plug and Play Fibre Switching Hub for Industrial Automation Systems  
Installation Guide  
EISK8-100T/F_ switching hubs are designed for Industrial Automation environments.  
Like all Ethernet switches from Contemporary Controls, each switching hub features  
non-blocking (full wire-speed) operation.  
Two fibre ports communicate at 100 Mbps and each port has one LED for link status  
and activity. The series has three models that vary by type of fibre connector in use.  
The EISK8-100T/FC and the EISK8-100T/FCS use the SC type of connector. The  
EISK8-100T/FT uses the ST type. Only full-duplex is supported on the fibre ports.  
Six copper ports automatically negotiate the data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and set  
flow control with the PAUSE function (full-duplex links) or the backpressure method  
(half-duplex links). Each copper port uses the Auto-MDIX function for attaching local  
devices and has one LED for link/activity/rate and one LED for duplex status.  
The unit provides preamble regeneration and retimes signals to eliminate jitter. Digital  
pre-emphasis compensates for inherent signal strength roll-off. Link indicates that a  
working adapter or hub is on the distant end of a segment.  
Port assignments are learned by reading Ethernet frames and logging the source  
addresses to a table. Learned addresses are aged out of the table after 300 seconds  
of inactivity. Throughput is optimized by restricting traffic to only those ports that are  
party to a data exchange (while other data is simultaneously exchanged on other  
ports). Store-and-forward operation is used. Each port can receive any type of Ethernet  
message: broadcast, multicast, or unicast.  
The switch works from a wide range of low-voltage AC or DC power and features a  
power LED.  
Each unit is provided with a writable label for easy identification of the remote device  
attached to each cable.

Power Options  
Power Considerations  
Voltage in the range of 10–36 VDC or 8–24 VAC must deliver current commensurate  
with power consumption. Recommended size for solid power conductors is 16–22 AWG;  
for stranded conductors, use 16–18 AWG. Common is directly connected to zero volts  
and chassis is isolated from zero volts. Input connections are reverse-polarity protected.  
LED Indicators  
The “PWR” LED glows solid green when the switch is properly powered. To aid in  
troubleshooting, each copper port has two LEDs. The Port 1 LED labelled “L” glows  
solid if a link exists, flashes to show activity and shows data rate by colour: green for  
100 Mbps and yellow for 10 Mbps. The LED labelled “D” glows solid green if full-duplex  
is on or is unlit when the port is in half-duplex mode — but in half-duplex operation it  
will flash if a collision occurs. The LEDs of Ports 2–6 are unlabeled but work the same.  
The fibre port (7 and 8) LEDs glow solid green if linked to a working 100BASE-FX port  
and each LED flashes when data moves through the port.
