Cabling

 Use Category 5 cabling for RJ-45 port connections. The cable must be

less than 328 ft (100 meters) long.

 Use 9/125 um cable for single-mode fiber. Distances up to 30

Kilometers are supported.

 Use 50/125 or 62.5/125 cable for multi-mode fiber. Distances up to

2Km are supported.

Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact

The fault alarm contact is located in the middle of terminal block connector
as shown below. Insert the wires and set the Dipswitch to “ON”. When a
power source fails or a link fault occurs the relay contacts will close.

[NOTE] Use12~ 24 AWG wire.
[NOTE] Relay contacts are normally open.
[NOTE] The Relay Alarm also requires software configuration. Refer to the

Web Based Management Alert Section.

2. Ensure the DIN-Rail is tightly screwed to the switch. If it is not, refer to

DIN-Rail Mounting section. If panel mounting is desired, refer to Panel
Mounting Section.

3. Mount the switch.

4. Apply power to the switch. The power LED will light up.

5. Connect CAT 5 cables to the industrial switch’s RJ-45 ports and the
network devices.

[NOTE] If the network devices do not support MDI/MDI-X, a
crossover cable will be required.

6. (Fiber Models Only) Connect the fiber optic cables to the industrial
switch and the network devices. Ensure that the switch’s fiber optic
transmitter is connected to the network devices receiver and vice versa.

7. When all the connections are made and the LED’s show normal
indication, the installation is complete.
