Overview

B&B Electronics Elinx family of Gigabit Industrial Din Rail mount
Ethernet switches have been designed to meet light and heavy Industrial
communication requirements.

High-Speed Transmissions

The Industrial switch includes a controller that can automatically sense
transmission speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps). The RJ45 copper ports support
auto MDI/MDIX operation. This feature allows network connections to
computers, servers, or other switches using straight-through or crossover
cables

All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward
mechanism. This assures that data is properly transmitted.

Dual Power Inputs

To reduce the risk of power failure, the Industrial switch provides 12 - 48
VDC dual power inputs. When power failure occurs, the device will
automatically switch to the secondary power input.

Flexible Mounting

The industrial switch is extremely compact and can be mounted on a din­rail or panel mounting making it suitable for any space-constrained
environment. Both mounting options are supplied with the Ethernet switch.

Wide Operating Temperature

The EIR408-T will operate in a -40 to 75C environment. The wide
temperature range will allow the EIR408-T to operate in some of the
harshest industrial environments that exist.

Easy Troubleshooting

LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each 10/100/1000
port has 2 LED indicators that display the link status, transmission speed
and collision status. The power and fault LED’s add to the ease of
understanding operating conditions.

RJ45

The RJ45 copper ports support auto MDI/MDIX operation. This feature
allows network connections to computers, servers, or other switches using
straight-through or crossover cables (See Figure below). Straight-through
cable connections: pins 1, 2, 3 and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected
straight-through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable. The table
below shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.

Hanging the Industrial Switch

First, position the din-rail clip of the switch directly in front of the DIN rail.
Make sure the top of the clip hooks over the top of the DIN rail.

Push the unit downward.

Check to see that the DIN-Rail clip is tightly fixed on the DIN rail.
To remove the industrial switch from the track, reverse the steps above.

Troubleshooting

 Do not use the power adapter with DC output higher than the power

rating of the device.

 Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct your network. Use

unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable
for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps
connections, 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps, or 100Ω
Category 5e/above cable for 1000Mbps connections. Insure the

length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet).

 Diagnosing LED Indicators: The Switch can be easily monitored

through panel LED’s. The LED’s will provide an easy way of

detecting power or communication problems.

 During loss or no communications verify the Industrial switch LED

indicators are displaying normal operating status. Next perform the
ping test to confirm connection and status of device connections on
the network.
