1. Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to the S-series Chassis switches and their equipment used in
The MESH control network.
NOTE
For details about the concepts, architecture and cabling for The MESH, refer to The
MESH Control Network Architecture Guide (B0700AZ).
S-series Chassis Switches

The following S-series Chassis switches have been tested and qualified by Invensys for use with
The MESH and other Foxboro Evo™ Process Automation System products:
♦ SSA Chassis managed switch (P0973KK/LN) provides fifty-two SFP uplink ports.
♦ S4 Chassis managed switch (P0973KD) provides up to one hundred ninety two SFP
uplink ports.
These switches are optimal for use in the star and inverted tree topologies for small to large-sized
networks, as discussed in the introduction of The MESH Control Network Architecture Guide
(B0700AZ).
NOTE
S-series switches, as indicated, must use Revision 3.5.1 or later versions of the
Switch Configurator Application Software, discussed in The MESH Control Network
Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA).
SSA Chassis Managed Switch (P0973KK/LN)
Figure 1-1. SSA Chassis Managed Switch (P0973KK)

B0700CE – Rev C 1. Introduction
Figure 1-2. SSA Chassis Managed Switch (P0973LN)
The SSA Chassis managed switch (P0973KK/LN) provides fifty-two SFP 1000Base-X 1Gb
uplink ports.
The switches allow high-performance, full-featured Ethernet switching in small to medium-sized
network applications, as well as high-performance direct end-station connectivity.
Distributed switching architecture with redundant processors and integral load-sharing redundant
power supplies make the SSA Chassis managed switch extremely reliable.
The chassis utilizes add-on power supplies (ordered separately) that requires one separately fused,
15-amp power circuit within 182 cm (6 ft) of the power supply. For redundancy, a second supply
slot is available.
NOTE
Two separate branch circuits are required for the redundant power supply. Requires
two 15 A ac outlets independently fused within 182 cm (6 ft) of power supply, each
outlet uses a separate 15 A power circuit per power supply.
The features of the SSA Chassis managed switch (P0973KK/LN) are:

♦ 48-port 1000Base-X 1Gb SFP uplink ports
♦ 4-port 10G SFP uplink ports configurable as 1G uplink ports
♦ Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), IEEE 802.1w compatible
♦ Monitoring and configuration tasks via local port, or SNMP-based management
application
♦ Distributed switching architecture for maximum uptime
♦ Redundant power supply for increased power security.
NOTE
The DFE-Gold and DFE-Platinum series blades are neither interchangeable nor
compatible with the S-series chassis switch.
For more information on uplink modules, refer to Figure A-1 in Appendix A “Ethernet Switch
Interconnection Diagrams” and the documentation supplied with the switch.
Visual Indicators
Indicators on the front of the chassis indicate: power failure and fan failure. Indicators for each
port and uplink indicate: port enabled and link activity, data collisions and diagnostic failure.

1. Introduction B0700CE – Rev C
Auto-Ranging Power Supplies

The SSA managed switch’s chassis power supplies (P0973KL and P0973LQ) automatically adjust
to the input voltage and frequency, which allows for an input voltage of 100 to 240 V ac, and a
frequency between 50 and 60 Hz.

Figure 1-4. S-Series (for P0973LN) SSA Chassis Managed Switch Power Supply (P0973LQ)
Power Supply Replacement

Power supplies in the SSA Chassis managed switch are removable, and thus may be replaced in the
field.
Chassis Cooling System

The SSA Chassis managed switch supports thirteen individual 12 V fans. In the event of a fan
failure the chassis FAN LED and the output of the CLI show system command will indicate that
a fan has failed.

Figure 1-5. S4 Chassis Managed Switch (P0973KD)
The S4 Chassis managed switch (P0973KD) (Figure 1-5) consists of three usable slots within a
4-slot chassis with four empty power supply locations and a front mounted fan assembly. The
3-slots can be populated with Ethernet blades/modules, depending on the needs of the user.
Slot 2 in the switch (see Figure 1-5) must be populated with an S4 S-series Network I/O Fabric
module (P0973KG, P0973KG Rev. B, or P0973LP) for switch operations. The I/O Fabric mod-
ule is the master blade for the switch, controlling the other slot locations. To achieve proper
failover in the event of an I/O Fabric module failure, Slot 3 cannot be populated.
The P0973KD switch provides up to one hundred ninety two SFP uplink ports depending on the
number of blades and modules installed.
The switch allows high-performance, full-featured Ethernet switching in medium to large-sized
network applications. Direct end-station connectivity is possible when using the P0973JE 100Mb
GBIC.
The chassis utilizes a 1200/1600 or 930/1600 watt power supplies (ordered separately) that
requires one separately fused, 20-amp power circuit (for P0973KE) or a 15-amp power circuit (for
P0973LJ) within 182 cm (6 ft) of the power supply. For redundancy, four supply slots are
available. The third and fourth supply slots are used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality
(not supported on The MESH control network).
For a list of the switch modules supported by the S4 Chassis managed switch, refer to Table 1-2,
“S4 Chassis Managed Switch Modules/Uplink Modules,” on page 9.

NOTE
A redundantly powered S4 Chassis managed switch requires two 20-amp branch
circuits.
The features of the S4 Chassis managed switch (P0973KD) are:

♦ Up to 192 1Gb SFP uplink ports depending on the choice of modules
♦ Selectable switch modules/uplink modules and interfaces (see Table 1-2, “S4 Chassis
Managed Switch Modules/Uplink Modules,” on page 9)
♦ Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), IEEE 802.1w compatible
♦ Monitoring and configuration tasks via local port, or SNMP-based management
application.
♦ Distributed switching architecture for maximum uptime
♦ An optional, pluggable, redundant power supply for increased power security.
Distributed switching architecture with redundant processors and power supplies and hot-swap-
pable components make the S4 Chassis managed switch extremely reliable —with no single point
of failure.
Visual Indicators
Indicators on the front of the power supply indicate: ac and dc power status (good or failed).
Indicators on the blades indicate testing and bootup. Indicators for each port and uplink indicate:
port enabled and link activity, data collisions and diagnostic failure. For a full description of these
LEDs, refer to “Overview of S-Series Capabilities” on page 28.
Auto-Ranging Power Supplies

The S4 Chassis managed switch's have two option for its power supplies:
♦ P0973KE - a 20 Amp input source power supply
♦ P0973LJ - a 15 Amp input source power supply.
Both automatically adjust to the input voltage ranges of 100 to 125 V ac, or 200 or 250 V ac,
with a frequency range of 50 to 60 Hz.

Figure 1-6. S-Series S4 Chassis Managed Switch Power Supply
Power Supply Replacement

To reduce network downtime, redundant power supplies (P0973KE and P0973LJ) are hot swap-
pable and one can be replaced online after it has been powered down. This allows you to remove
one power supply without powering down the chassis and interrupting network traffic.
Chassis Cooling System

The S4 Chassis managed switch features a removable fan tray (P0973KT), which is accessible
from the front of the chassis. The fan tray is hot swappable, which allows you to replace it without
powering down the chassis.
! CAUTION
The fan assembly is hot-swappable. However, do not run the chassis for any
extended periods of time without an operating fan assembly, as the chassis will
quickly overheat and cause damage.

NOTE
The DFE-Gold series blades or DFE-Platinum series blades are neither interchange-
able nor compatible with the S-series chassis.
For more information on uplink modules, refer to Figure A-2 in Appendix A “Ethernet Switch
Interconnection Diagrams” and the documentation supplied with the switch.
Media Converter
The media converter provides a way to connect devices that use 100 Mb CAT5-STP copper cable
(RJ-45 connectors) to a device that uses 100FX multimode fiber optic cable. The media converter
allows connection between copper and fiber devices. A media converter allows you to connect a
workstation or a controller to an Ethernet switch that is not equipped with fiber optic ports, while
gaining the benefits of extended range isolated fiber optic transmission.
Refer to Media Converter Installation and Configuration Guide for Control Networks (B0700CP)
for all information on the media converter types available for use with these switches.
Switch Management
For The MESH control network, the network management module for the Fast Ethernet
switches, provides a menu-driven or Command Line Interface (CLI) system configuration pro-
gram with management capability. See Chapter 4 “Switch Configuration” for further details.
Appendix A “Ethernet Switch Interconnection Diagrams” contains details on expansion and
cabling options.

2. Site Planning
This chapter describes the steps that should be taken and the options that should be considered
when planning the inclusion of the S-series Chassis switches in The MESH Control Network.
The design of each implementation of The MESH Control Network is different, and depends on
the needs and requirements of the individual site. The following paragraphs provide the informa-
tion necessary to help network designers to plan the control network that meets the needs of their
specific site.
Refer to The MESH Control Network Architecture Guide (B0700AZ) for details about overall site
planning.
S-series Chassis Switch Features and Capabilities

The following sections describe the features and capabilities of the switches that are offered by
Invensys for use in The MESH Control Network. Use this information to aid in the selection of
equipment to implement the network design plan.
It is recommended to install the SSA Chassis managed switch (P0973KK/LN) and the S4 Chassis
managed switch (P0973KD) into the G50 Server enclosure, discussed in G50 Server Enclosure
(PSS 21H-2X50 B4) and Enclosures and Mounting Structures Site Planning and Installation User’s
Guide (B0700AS).
SSA Chassis Switch (P0973KK/LN)

The SSA switch is a chassis-based Ethernet switch (refer to “SSA Chassis Managed Switch
(P0973KK/LN)” on page 1). The switch consists of a tabletop or rack-mountable chassis contain-
ing a field swappable, load-sharing, redundant power supply with cooling fans.
Site Installation Guidelines for SSA Chassis Switch (P0973KK/LN)

The following guidelines must be observed when a site is selected for the SSA Chassis managed
switch. If the guidelines are not followed, unsatisfactory network performance may result.
♦ To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance
space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in) of clearance on either side and in the rear of the unit.
♦ To install the SSA Chassis managed switch as a freestanding unit on a shelf, the shelf
must be able to adequately support the static weight of the unit.
♦ The power supplies for the SSA Chassis managed switch require two three-pronged
power receptacles capable of delivering the current and voltage specified below. ac out-
lets on independently fused circuits are required for each power supply, and must be
located less than 2 m (6 ft) from the site. The power cord used and type of outlet is
dependent on the country. In the United States, two power cords with NEMA 5-15P
plugs are provided with each power supply.
♦ Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 5° and 40°C
(41° to 104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per
hour.
11
B0700CE – Rev C 2. Site Planning
♦ The SSA Chassis managed switch may be mounted in a 19” rack, such in the G50
Server enclosure.
♦ If the SSA P0973KK is installed in an enclosure other than the G50 Server enclosure,
be aware that the air flow for the S-series switches is left to right, which is different
from other MESH Control Network switches and this may impact the air circulation
in the enclosure.
NOTE
The S-series P0973LN air flow has also changed from front to back to improve the
switch's cooling.
♦ To install the SSA Chassis managed switch as a rack mounted unit using the SSA rail
kit (shipped with the SSA switch), ensure that the rack used will support the unit and
that the rack will remain stable after installation.
! WARNING
DO NOT use the P0973LN rack mount with the P0973KK chassis. This rack
mount will cause the unit to overheat due to airflow restrictions.
The SSA Chassis switch can be mounted in three types of racks:

♦ Four-post rack - See “Rack Mounting the SSA Switch in a Four-Post Rack” below.
♦ Two-post rack (18 cm (7 in) posts) - See “Rack Mounting the SSA Switch in a Two-
Post Rack (18 Cm (7 In) Posts)” on page 15.
♦ Two-post rack (7.6 cm (3 in) posts) - See “Rack Mounting the SSA Switch in a Two-
Post Rack (7.6 Cm (3 In) Posts)” on page 18.
If you are installing the SSA switch in a rack, it is recommended that you install the SSA switch in
a four-post, 48.26 cm (19 in) equipment rack.
Desktop Installation
For desktop installation, you must attach the adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the SSA
switch.
To attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the SSA switch, proceed as follows:
1. Place the SSA switch upside down on a sturdy, flat surface.
2. Remove the adhesive backing from the four rubber feet.
3. Adhere the rubber feet to the round, recessed areas on the bottom of the SSA switch.
Rack Mounting the SSA Switch in a Four-Post Rack

NOTE
When installing the SSA switch in a G50 Server enclosure, use this procedure to
install it.
12
2. Site Planning B0700CE – Rev C
For a four-post rack installation, the SSA rail kit requires that the front to back spacing of the rack
posts be within the range of 62 cm (24.5 in) to 83 cm (32.5 in).
In a four-post rack, the SSA switch is flush-mounted on the rails supplied in the SSA rail kit and
secured to the front posts of the rack. If desired, you can secure the rear of the SSA switch to the
rails.
To install the SSA switch in a four-post rack:
1. Extend the right and left rails to fit the outside dimensions of the rack posts.
The rails in the SSA rail kit are shipped with the rail extensions attached. If the rails
do not slide easily, loosen the screws that secure the rail extensions to the main rails.
2. Position the right and left rails, which are labeled on the inside of each rail, in the rack
with the bottom lip of the rail facing into the rack.
3. Attach each rail to the rack posts with two screws in the front and two screws in the
back in the top and bottom screw holes. See Figure 2-1.
NOTE
The SSA rail kit does not include screws for attaching the rails to the rack posts.
Tighten these screws securing

the rail extensions to the rails.

Rack Mounting the SSA Switch in a Two-Post Rack (18 Cm (7 In) Posts)
In a two-post rack with 18 cm (7 in) posts, the SSA switch is flush-mounted in the rack and
secured in the SSA rails to the front and rear of the posts. In this procedure, you need to modify
the rails by removing the rail extensions and attaching the mounting brackets, which are supplied
in the rail kit.
To rack mount the SSA in a two-post rack with 18 cm (7 in) posts:
1. Remove the extensions from each rail by unscrewing the rail clamps. See Figure 2-3.
The rail extensions and rail clamps are not used to install an SSA switch in a two-post
rack. Save the eight 6-32 screws to be used in the next step.
1 - Rails (used in this procedure) 3 - Rail Clamps (must be removed - not used)
2 - Rail Extensions (must be removed - not used) 4 - 6-32 Screws (used in this procedure)

screws in the mounting ears on the right and left front of the SSA.
17
8. (Optional) Secure the rear of the SSA switch to the rails. See “Securing the SSA
Switch to the Rear of the Rails” on page 19.
Rack Mounting the SSA Switch in a Two-Post Rack (7.6 Cm (3 In) Posts)
In a two-post rack with 7.6 cm (3 in) posts, three mid-mount positions are possible. See
Figure 2-6 for possible mounting positions, as shown on the right post. The top mid-mount posi-
tion shown in Figure 2-6 is recommended as the best of the three options.
Recommended Position
Optional Positions
Figure 2-6. Installation Positions in a Two-Post Rack (7.6 cm (3 in) Posts)
To rack mount the SSA switch in a two-post rack with 7.6 cm (3 in) posts:
1. Remove the extensions from each rack rail by unscrewing the rail clamps. See
Figure 2-3 on page 15.
The rail extensions and rail clamps are not used to install an SSA switch in a two-post
rack.
2. Using the eight 6-32 screws removed in step 1, attach the mounting bracket to each
rail (four screws for each mounting bracket) in the appropriate orientation for the
mounting option that you have chosen. See Figure 2-6.
3. Secure the mounting brackets to the rack posts with three customer-supplied screws in
each mounting bracket.
Depending on the mounting option, you must secure the mounting brackets to either
the front or back of the rack posts. See Figure 2-6. The SSA rail kit does not include
screws for attaching the mounting brackets to the rack posts.
4. Snap the 10-32 cage nuts, included in the SSA rail kit, into the square screw holes on
the front mounting ears of the rails.
18
5. Slide the SSA switch onto the rails until the front of the SSA switch is against the
mounting ears of the rails.
6. Secure the front of the SSA switch to the rails by screwing the 10-32 screws, included
in the SSA rail kit, into the mounting ears on the right and left front of the SSA
switch.
7. (Optional) Secure the rear of the SSA switch to the rails. See “Securing the SSA
Switch to the Rear of the Rails” below.
Securing the SSA Switch to the Rear of the Rails

This optional procedure for securing the SSA switch to the rear of the SSA rails applies to the
three rack installation scenarios described above - the four-post rack and both two-post rack sce-
narios. Securing the rear of the SSA switch is recommended only if you are shipping the rack in
which the SSA switch is installed.
If you plan to secure the left rear corner of the SSA switch, you must remove the screw from the
left rear corner of the SSA switch before installing the SSA in the rack. See Figure 2-7.
1 - Remove this screw before installing the SSA switch in the rack.
Figure 2-7. Screw to Remove If You Plan to Secure the Left Rear of the SSA Switch
To secure the rear of the SSA switch to the rails, screw the 2-56 screws, included in the SSA rail
kit, into the screw tabs on the right and left rail. See Figure 2?8.

Site Installation Guidelines for S4 Chassis Switch (P0973KD)

The following guidelines must be observed when a site is selected for the S4 Chassis managed
switch. If the guidelines are not followed, unsatisfactory network performance may result.
♦ For proper cooling, there must be a minimum amount of clearance 152 mm (6 in)
behind the chassis and 51 mm (2 in) of clearance on either side of the chassis.
♦ If installing the S4 Chassis managed switch as a freestanding unit on a shelf, ensure
that the shelf can support a minimum weight of approximately 24.7 kg (54.45 lb) per
fully loaded chassis plus the weight of the connected network cables. The weight
includes the chassis, fan tray, two power supplies, and three modules.
♦ The S4 Chassis managed switch may be mounted in a 19” rack such as in the G50
Server enclosure.
♦ If installed in an enclosure other than the G50 Server enclosure, be aware that the air
flow for the S-series switches is different from other The MESH Control Network
switches and this may impact the air circulation in the enclosure.
♦ If installing the S4 Chassis managed switch in an equipment rack, ensure that the rack
can support and remain stable with the chassis installed.
♦ Each P0973KE or P0973LJ ac power supply requires a three-pronged power recepta-
cle capable of delivering the current and voltage specified below. An ac outlet on a
separately fused circuit is required for each P0973KE or P0973LJ supply to provide
power redundancy, and must be located within 1.8 m (6 ft) from the site. The power
cord used and type of outlet is dependent on the country. In the United States, a
power cord with a NEMA 5-20P plug is provided with each P0973KE supply and a
NEMA 5-15P plug is provided with each P0973LJ supply.
♦ Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 5° and 40°C
(41° to 104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per
hour.

(P0972WT, P0972WU, P0972YQ, and P0973FT)
The 1000Base-BX Fiber uplink (ISL) Mini-GBIC modules with Simplex LC connectors
(P0973JB/KM/KQ and P0973JC/KN/KR) are shown in Figure 2-10. 1000Base-BX is a version
of Fast Ethernet over a single strand of optical fiber (unlike 1000Base-LX, which uses a pair of
fibers). Simplex single-mode fiber is used, along with a special multiplexer (Mini-GBIC) which
splits the signal into transmit and receive wavelengths. The wavelengths used for transmit and
receive are 1310 nm, 1490 nm or 1590 nm. The Mini-GBIC modules on each side of the fiber
are not the same device, as the one transmitting P0973JC/KN/KR Mini-GBIC module “down-
stream” (from the core of the network to the edge) uses the 1490 nm or 1590 nm wavelengths,
and the “edge” transmitting P0973JB/KM/KQ Mini-GBIC module “upstream” uses the 1310 nm
or 1490 nm wavelengths with a distances of 10 km (6.2 mi), 40 km (24.8 mi) and 1490 nm
wavelength with a distances of 120 km (74.4 mi).

1. (Multimode only for the P0972YQ) The maximum drive distance (up to 2 km) depends on
the quality of the installed multimode fiber-optic cable segment. Use the Link Power Bud-
get to calculate the maximum cable length of the attached segment. The Link Power Budget
must not exceed those specified in this table. The P0972YQ input power must not exceed -
3 dBm. Otherwise, saturation could occur. Note: The input power is not selectable.
2. P0973JB/JC, P0973KM/KN and P0973KQ/KR are bi-directional Mini-GBICs. Both
upstream and downstream switches transmit on the same fiber but at different frequencies.
When ordering these Mini-GBICs, you must acquire a matching pair, one of each type. For
a matching pair, order kits P0973JD (10 km (6.2 mi)), P0973KP (40 km (25 mi)), or
P0973KS (120 km (74.6 mi)) which include one of each of the required modules.

3. Installation
This chapter describes the steps necessary to install the S-series Chassis switches as part of The
MESH Control Network.
Installation of the Ethernet switches in The MESH Control Network consists of locating the
individual components and then making connections between them using fiber optic or copper
cable.
Installing S-series Chassis Switches

The following paragraphs provide instructions for installing the S-series Chassis switches as part
of The MESH Control Network.
Ethernet Switch Installation

The S-series Chassis switches are designed to be placed on a flat, level surface. Alternatively, the
switches may be mounted in a rack using the supplied mounting brackets. Make sure that the
environment in which the switch is located meets the switch’s environmental operating specifica-
tions, especially heat and humidity. Refer to the documentation included with the switch for
detailed installation instructions and operating specifications.
Installing Optional ISL Uplink Modules

Optional ISL uplink modules (NOM P0973KH) are available only for the S4 Chassis switch (see
“S4 Chassis Managed Switch (P0973KD)” on page 5) and should be installed before the switch is
connected to The MESH Control Network.
Refer to the documentation included with the uplink modules (P0973KH) and the S4 Chassis
managed switch (P0973KD) for instructions on installing the modules.
! CAUTION
If a blade, uplink expansion module, or GBIC port is to be added or removed from
the switch configuration, a complete software reconfiguration of the switch is neces-
sary after it is installed or removed.
Installing Optional Redundant Power Supplies

Optional redundant power supplies (P0973KL) are available for the SSA Chassis switch
(P0973KL) (see “SSA Chassis Managed Switch (P0973KK/LN)” on page 1) and optional redun-
dant power supplies (P0973KE or P0973LJ) for the S4 Chassis switch (P0973KE) (see “S4 Chas-
sis Managed Switch (P0973KD)” on page 5); redundant power supplies (P0973KE or P0973LJ)
should be installed before the switch is connected to The MESH Control Network.
Refer to the documentation included with the switch for instructions on installing redundant
power supplies.
37
B0700CE – Rev C 3. Installation
Configuring the Switches

All managed switches require configuration before they are added to The MESH Control Net-
work.
Refer to “Switch Configuration” on page 39.
Connecting The MESH Control Network Components

Refer to The MESH Control Network Architecture Guide (B0700AZ) for details on connecting
these Ethernet switches as part of The MESH Control Network.
38
4. Switch Configuration
This chapter describes the steps necessary to configure the S-series Chassis switches as part of The
MESH Control Network.
Configuring Ethernet Switches

There are two methods available to configure these switches:
♦ The MESH Network Switch Configurator Application Software, and
♦ Command Line Interface (CLI).
The MESH Network Switch Configurator Application Software

(SCAS)
The MESH Network Switch Configurator Application Software (SCAS) was created for Invensys
customers as a configuration tool for qualified Ethernet switches in The MESH Control Net-
work. It reduces the repetitive Command Line Interface (CLI) command entries which are
required to configure the control network switches, by allowing users to customize configuration
files that define a set of CLI commands downloadable via the serial port. SCAS supports the S-
series Chassis switches and their uplink modules:
Refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide
(B0700CA) document for information on how to use SCAS. The latest version of the tool and its
documentation are available on the Global Customer Support Center web site at
http://support.ips.invensys.com
After logging in to the web page, go to: Support -> Foxboro -> Product Information ->
Briefs/Product Releases -> then select MESH Network Switches Documentation
Details on downloading SCAS are provided in The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch
Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) document, in the section “Getting the Latest
Configuration Revision”.
Customers are encouraged to download and use the latest documentation and configurator tools
on the Global Customer Support Center web site.
Command Line Interface (CLI) Entries

This chapter provides instructions and specific CLI entries that must be typed and entered into
the switches for proper operation of the The MESH Control Network.
Logging In
By default, the S-series switches are configured with three user login accounts:
♦ ro for Read-Only access
♦ rw for Read-Write access
♦ admin for superuser access to all modifiable parameters.
39
B0700CE – Rev C 4. Switch Configuration
The default password is set to a blank string. For information on changing these default settings,
refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide
(B0700CA, Rev. H or later) document, in the section “Changing Switch Password and Settings.”
Configuration Requirements
All managed switches require configuration before they are added to The MESH Control Net-
work.
! CAUTION
Switches should be configured off line before they are connected to The MESH
Control Network.
Configuration of managed switches is accomplished by connecting a terminal (or a computer run-

ning terminal emulation software) to the serial console port on the switch and using the switch’s
resident management software to set the parameters. Refer to “Connecting Ethernet Switch to the
PC” on page 41. For customized switch configurations, refer to the documentation that comes
with the switch for command line entry instructions on configuring a specific switch model.
To avoid the possibility of address conflicts, IP addresses for managed switches are automatically
assigned by the system configurator (SysDef or IACC). Once the configurator has selected the IP
addresses, each switch must be configured with its IP address (refer to “The MESH Control Net-
work Addresses” in The MESH Control Network Architecture Guide (B0700AZ)). For information
on using the system configurator, refer to:
♦ System Definition: A Step-by-Step Procedure (B0193WQ) or
♦ I/A Series Configuration Component (IACC) User's Guide (B0700FE).
While using SysDef record the address of the station monitoring the switch. There is a switch
parameter named TRAP under the SNMP Configuration menu that you should set based on this
IP address.
! CAUTION
Do not mirror active ports to other used ports. Doing so results in an excessive
increase in the traffic levels routed by the switches.
NOTE
When adding a switch or blade to the network, clear the NVRAM, or return the
switch to the Factory Default Configuration to obtain default settings before con-
figuring the switch.
NOTE
Uplink ports should be installed and configured first. Otherwise, configured infor-
mation may be lost when the uplink ports are installed.
40
4. Switch Configuration B0700CE – Rev C
This chapter provides generic configuration information that applies to all Ethernet switches and
specific procedures for the switches that have been tested and qualified by Invensys for use with
Foxboro Evo Process Automation Systems. The configuration information is presented as follows:
♦ “Generic Switch Parameters” on page 43
♦ “Connecting Ethernet Switch to the PC” on page 41
♦ “Configuring the S-series Chassis Switches” on page 44.
Connecting Ethernet Switch to the PC

The Network Administrator computer (laptop recommended) needs to be connected to the
switch’s CLI port (for example, serial port) through the computer’s COM port using the serial
cable provided with the switch.
Figure 4-1 shows the connection from a PC to the Ethernet switches.
For the S-series Chassis switches, a CAT 5 cable with RJ-45 plugs is connected to the CLI port on
the blade. A 9-pin D connector to RJ-45 plug adaptor is required to connect the switch to the PC.
The cable and adaptor/connectors are customer-supplied.

Edge Switches
An edge switch is a switch which will not be configured as a root or backup bridge. The edge
switch usually interfaces Foxboro Evo devices (Control Processors, FCMs, and so forth) to the
root switches. Multiple root switches can be configured to take over as roots by adjusting the
Bridge Priority Value. However, normally only two roots exist, primary and backup root switch,
all other switches are defined as edge switches.
Configuring the S-series Chassis Switches

The S-series Chassis switches SSA (P0973KK/LN) and S4 (P0973KD) must be booted with a
supported version of Foxboro Evo qualified and compatible firmware. (Refer to the Appendix
“Qualified Switch Firmware Compatibilities Matrix” in The MESH Control Network Operation,
and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) for supported versions.)
To configure the Chassis switches SSA (P0973KK/LN), and S4 (P0973KD), it is recommended
that you refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration
Guide (B0700CA) and use the latest Switch Configurator Application Software (SCAS) to config-
ure this switch.
Resetting Password
The switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) locks out after three incorrect password attempts
and remains locked out for 15 minutes. The Reset Password jumper remains non-functional
for those 15 minutes.
NOTE
Power must be applied to the unit before the 15 minute lockout can expire.
If you forget the switch’s login password, use the Reset Password jumper as described in the fol-
lowing procedure.

1. In Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3, changing the position of jumper switch 8 clears the
admin password and restores the factory default password on the next power-up of the
module. Once the module resets, you can either use the factory default settings or
reenter your own password.
2. Login to the device management (see “Logging In” on page 39). Now, you can login
to the switch via the console port and assign a new password. For information on
changing the password settings, refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and
Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA, Rev. H or later) document, in
the section “Changing Switch Password and Settings.”
Maintenance
For all maintenance information, refer to The MESH Control Network Architecture Guide
(B0700AZ).
