3 INTRODUCTION PRODUCT OVERVIEW ProPlex GBS Gigabit Ethernet switches are designed for portable entertainment production amd are part of the ProPlex Data Distribution range of products for complete touring show data management. Just a few features include: Reconfigurable! Any combination of data port modules can be moved between front and rear panels for practical gig-specific wiring. Built for extreme conditions. Shock-mounted circuitry. Advanced thermal management. Fibre option via one or two heavy-duty OpticalCON QUAD connectors. OpticalCON DUO also available by special order. Gigabit Ethernet: 10 ports with tour-grade EtherCON connectors. Up to 10 tour-grade EtherCON connectors or up to 8 EtherCON ports with optional fibre connectivity via 1 or 2 heavy-duty OpticalCON QUAD connectors. PoE and non-poe versions available Compatible with a wide range of entertainment-specific protocols, including sacn, ArtNet, CobraNet, Dante, ETCNet, Ethersound, MA-Net, and more! Variable power input, VAC, Hz with PowerCON connector ProPlex Blue Box RackMount, rugged tour-ready enclosure The rugged ProPlex GBS 10-port is suitable for high-volume, multicast, video, audio, or lighting data streaming with forwarding rate of million Packets per Second (64-byte packets) and Switching Capacity of 20.0 Gigabits per Second. ProPlex GBS supports: 4,096 simultaneous VLANs, port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs and MAC-based VLAN Internet Group Management Protocol with the ability to limit bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic IGMP Querier support to forward multicast traffic 802.1d Spanning Tree support Fast convergence 802.1w support Native IPv6 Internet Protocol support with option to deliver IPv6 multicast packets only to the required receivers Previous version support for IPv4 routing with up to 512 static routes and up to 128 IP interfaces Built-in browser-based switch configuration utility GBS RackMount and DIN Rail models are available with PoE functionality, enabled by default on ports 1-8 (PoE+ ports with 124W power budget and 10/100/1000 max.) Ports 9 and 10 does not support PoE functionality. PoE technology enables Ethernet network cables to function as power cords. In a PoE enabled network, electrical current flows over CAT5 or higher network data cable together with normal Ethernet data traffic. No extra AC power cord is needed at the product location, minimizing the amount of cables needed and/or the inconvenience of installing extra outlets Note: For Managed Mode access, contact TMB Tech Support - 3 -

4 UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Upon receipt of the unit, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear to be damaged from shipping or if the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a unit must be returned to the factory, it is important that it be returned in the original factory box and packing. POWER REQUIREMENTS Before powering the unit, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages. This unit accommodates VAC, 50/60Hz. All units must be powered directly from a switched circuit and cannot be operated with a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0-100% switch. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read these instructions carefully. This user guide contains important information about the installation, usage and maintenance of this product. Keep this User Guide for future reference. If unit is sold to another user, make sure they also receive this instruction booklet. Ensure the unit is connected to proper voltage, and that line voltage is not higher than that stated on the device. Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the unit while operating. Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or fuse replacement. Always use the fuse specified in this manual.. Always use a safety cable when hanging unit overhead. Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 40 C (104 F). Do not operate unit at temperatures above this rating. In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Repairs must be carried out by trained, authroized personnel. Conact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Only OEM spare parts should be used. Do not connect the device to a dimmer pack. Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged. Never disconnect power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord

5 FUSE REPLACEMENT The GBS 10-port RackMount uses a 1.5A, 250V barrel fuse, 5x20mm (0.2x0.8 in.). To replace fuse: 1. With a screwdriver, turn the fuse cap counter-clockwise to remove fuse cap with fuse. 2. Replace fuse attached to fuse cap. 3. Reinsert fuse cap with new fuse and tighten clockwise. WIRING Connect the VAC (50-60 Hz) power to the power input (PowerCON) at the back of the unit. PANELS FRONT / BACK - 5 -

7 CONFIGURATION DATA PORT MODULE DISASSEMBLY To meet specific wiring needs of any entertainment application, it is possible to move data port modules between the front and rear of the unit in any combination, giving more freedom when creating a multicast network. 1. Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, remove all 12 screws from the unit s case lid. Step 1 2. Once the lid is removed, the grounding cable can be undone with 9/32-inch (7mm) wrench. (This step is not obligatory as it is possible to work on the GBS switch without disconnecting the grounding cable.) Step 2-7 -

8 3. To unscrew a port housing, two Philips screws must be undone. One on the top, the other on the bottom side of the ProPlex GBS switch. Remove the screws from ports which you want to swap places. Take out the blank port housing and set it aside Step 3 4. The desired connector housing can be released from its mounting. Step 4 5. Unfasten twist-locks and cable management clips that can be undone and refastened by hand. Step 5-8 -

9 6 When the clips are unfastened, the connector can be disconnected from the port. To do so, push down on the RJ-45 connector clip and slide it out. To disconnect the 3-pin LED connector, pull firmly with your fingertips on both sides until the connector slides out. Step 6 7. Once the tail is disconnected from the main switch, slide it out of the unit. Step 7-9 -

10 CONNECTORS Each port panel is fed by a 3-pin LED connector, indicating network activity, as well as a CAT5e RJ45 or fibre jumper that connects to the EtherCon or OpticalCon QUAD connector on that panel. These cables are bundled together inside a TechFlex sleeve

11 MIXED MEDIA PORTS Fig. 1 Note! Ports 9 and 10 on the GBS switch are mixed media ports and can function as ether Ethernet or Fibre Optic Ports. It is important to remember, that each port can only manage one data stream at a time. Although it is possible to physically plug both fibre and Ethernet into the mixed media ports, do not do so, because the different streams cannot operate on the same internal port. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Figures 2 and 3 illustrate that mixed media ports can function as either Ethernet or fibre optic ports. Important: Do not plug in both Ethernet and fibre optic cables at the same time

12 DATA PORT MODULE ASSEMBLY 1. The connector must be placed in to the new location from which the blank port housing was removed making sure, that the white marking on the housing is towards the upper part of the unit and that the port housing is seated firmly. Route the cable back into the unit to a free port. Step 1 2. Connect the RJ-45 connector, making sure the clip is facing upwards. Press it down and in until it clicks, ensuring that the connector is in place. Step

13 3. Connect the 3-pin LED connector by pressing it in firmly with fingertips at both sides of the connector. Step 3 4. Once the connectors are in, situate the cable back into the cable management system with twist-locks and cable management ties, making sure that the cable is not stressed or cramped on either end. Step

14 5. Insert the blank port housing into the empty slot. Step 5 6. Replace the screws on both panels, top and bottom. 7. Screw the grounding cable back to the unit if disconnected from the case lid. If not disconnected, put the case lid back onto the unit and fasten it securely

15 FIBER OPTIC PORT INSTALLATION If an OpticalCON QUAD connector is installed for the first time, you will need an SFP module to be inserted in the fibre optic port to connect the LC Duplex connector. ProPlex GBS 1U models that come with OpticalCON QUAD connectors as standard are equipped with a MikroTIK 1.25G SFP transceiver with a 850nm Dual LC connector, for up to 550 meter Multi Mode fibre connection, with DDM (Fig. 4). The adapter can be exchanged if needed. Fig To install the SFP module, slide the SFP with the label facing upwards into the vacant slot. 2. When it is fully engaged, the black-handled lever must be pulled upwards to lock the SFP in place. Step 1 Step

16 3. Press the fibre cable into the SFP until the clicking sound is heard. This means that the Duplex connector is in place. 4. Connect the 3-pin LED connector by pushing it with sfingertips until it clicks into place. Note: To undo the Duplex connector, push down on the plastic clip and pull the connector out. To disconnect the three pin LED connector, pull firmly with your fingertips on both sides and connector slides out. Step 3 and
