Installation Overview

The device’s appearance is as in the figure below.

There are mounting plates and screws that come

1.
inside the package. Proceed to place the screws
on the back of the device as shown in (Fig. 1).

There is a screw close to the power terminal

2.
block this screw is used to connect the grounding
of the SW550X.
Although internal grounding has been done
inside, in order to ensure overall maximum
performance and protect your device it is still
strongly advised to link this point to the ground as
well; hazardous ESD can come into contact with
it and damage your equipment. On the terminal
block, there is a terminal for Frame Ground, you
can choose whether to connect it the grounding,
you may opt between only one of these two
grounds ( the one chosen should be connected at
all times).(Fig. 2)

Proceed then to fix the antennas to the female

3.
RP-SMA connectors deemed to, (Fig. 3).
You can then choose whether to place the terminal

block at this point or do it later depending on the
actual location of the device or level of comfort for
performing such operation.

Once the plate has been firmly put in place,

4.

proceed to mount the whole device as shown in
(Fig. 4).

Proceed to (Fig. 5) if you want
to remove the device from
DIN-Rail.

(Fig. 4) (Fig. 5)

Next we can then proceed to connect the device to the LAN (switch or

5.
PC, depending on the case), take care on using an RJ45
terminal/connector; after this we can then proceed to the device’s
settings.

Other points to take into consideration when installing the device follow next.

■

The antennas are 3dBi (at 2.4 GHz) and a 5 dBi (at 5GHz); once fixed
to the rail, do not place them parallel, otherwise their signal will
interfere with each other.

SW550X’s factory IP by default is 10.0.50.100 you can access the
device by its Web UI once it is connected to a physical network (or
using Serial Manager, for more information on Serial Manager,
please refer to the manual, Chapter 3). Please be aware that the PC
needed for this procedure needs to be in the same subnet, or you
may refer yourself to the User’s Manual on Sec. 3.1.

Field Maintenance and Service

If the device requires servicing of any kind, you may need to disconnect
and remove it from its mounting. The initial installation should be done
in a way that makes this as convenient as possible.

■

Voltage/Power lines should be properly insulated as well as other
cables. Be careful when handling them so as to not trip over.

■

Do not under any circumstance insert foreign objects of any kind into
the heat dissipation holes located in the different faces of the device.
This may not only harm the internal layout but might cause harm to
you as well.

■

Do not under any circumstance open the device for any reason.
Please contact your dealer for any repair needed or follow the
instructions on section of your User’s manual.
