Installation Guide 1 Introduction The Motorola Solutions EX-3524 and EX-3548 are Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches with either 24 or 48 10/100/1000-BASE-T ports, and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots for fiber connectivity. The switches are built with leading-edge technology to deliver reliable high-performance connectivity for your data network.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. • Motorola strongly recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that supports the EX-3524/EX-3548 switch power rating. Not using a UPS can result in data loss or equipment damage due to a power surge or power failure.
Installation Guide 1.4 Site Preparation • Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine specific equipment placement, port capacity, power drops, and so on. • Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel. • Identify where all installed components are located. •...

Installation Guide 2.4 Power Cord Specifications A power cord is not supplied with the EX-3524/EX3548 switch. Use only a correctly rated power cord certified (as appropriate) for the country of operation. 2.4.1 Power Protection • If possible, use a circuit dedicated to data processing equipment. Commercial electrical contractors are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load balancing of these circuits.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 2.5.1 Port LEDs For information on port status LED indicators, see Port Status LEDs on page 2.5.2 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ports The switch contains 24 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-T copper links to other devices.
Installation Guide 2.5.9 AC Power Socket The switch requires a 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz AC power source. For more information on the switch power input, how to connect it, and how to power-on the switch, see Power and Grounding on page...

Installation Guide 2.6.2 Port Status LEDs The switch includes LEDs for each port to indicate link status and network activity. The port LEDs are shown below and described in the following table: Condition Status 1000BASET RJ-45 Ports (1 - 24 or 1 - 48) Link/Activity On/Blinking Amber Port has a valid 10/100 Mbps link.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 3 Hardware Installation The switch is designed to be installed in either a standard 19-inch equipment rack or simply placed on a suitable desktop or shelf surface. If you will mount your switch in a rack then plan your rack installation and install the switch chassis in the rack.

EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 4. Verify basic switch operation by observing the system LEDs. For normal operation, both the DIAG and PWR LEDs should be solid green. 5. Install the SFP transceivers and connect the cables to the port interfaces.
Installation Guide 3.2 Shelf or Desktop Installation The switch can be installed on any flat surface such as a desktop or shelf. To mount the switch on a flat surface: 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the switch. 2.
The switches require power from an external AC power supply that can provide 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. A standard AC power socket is located on the rear panel EX-3524 (left) and EX-3548 (right) of the each switch. The rear panel of the switch chassis includes a single hole grounding terminal. It must be connected to ground to ensure proper operation and to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements.
Installation Guide 3.4 Port Connections 3.4.1 Installing SFP Transceivers The switch provides slots for optional (not provided) SFP transceivers. The supported transceiver types are listed below: • 1000BASE-SX • 1000BASE-LX • 1000BASE-LH • 1000BASE-FX • 1000BASE-T SPF transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off NOTE before installing or removing the transceiver.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 4. Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. If you do not immediately connect a cable to the port, use a rubber protective cap to keep the transceiver optics clean.
For the EX-3524, the total PoE power delivered by all ports cannot exceed the 390 W power budget. This means that up to 12 ports can supply a maximum 30 W of power simultaneously to connected devices, or all 24 ports can supply a maximum of 15.4 W.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 2. Attach the other end to an available port on the switch. Ensure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length. 3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to each port will turn on green to indicate that the connection is valid.

Installation Guide To connect cables to SFP transceiver ports: 1. Remove and keep the fiber port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics. 2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 4 Switch Management The RJ-45 Console port on the front panel of the switch is used to connect a console device to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
