Switch Management Overview
1.1 About the ES3000 Ethernet Switch
The ES3000 Ethernet Switch comes in two versions. One version provides Power over Ethernet
(PoE) in accordance with IEEE standard 802.3af. This allows compatible Ethernet devices to
obtain power from the 10/100BaseT Ethernet wiring. IEEE 802.3af PoE senses the need for power
before supplying power and will not damage non-PoE Ethernet devices.
The other version of the ES3000 Switch does not provide power over Ethernet. Power features
are not available in the non-PoE version of the switch.
The Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch is available in the following models:
ES 3000-PWR (supporting PoE) - Part Number ES-3000-PWR-10-WW
ES 3000 (non PoE) - Part Number ES-3000-10-WW
The PoE and non-PoE versions of the ES3000 use different versions of the bootcode and runtime
software. Do not attempt to use PoE software with a non-PoE switch. Do not attempt to use non-
PoE software with a PoE switch. Attempting to do so may render the switch inoperable.
