Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed cabinet, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation
of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment in the DIN rail so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings
when addressing this concern.

STEP 2B: WALLMOUNTING
1. Screw the two pieces of the wallmount kit onto both sides of the switch. A total of eight screws are required, as shown below.
FIGURE Q-2.
2. Use the switch, with wallmount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the four screws.
3. Insert four screw heads through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the switch downwards. Tighten
the four screws for added stability.
STEP 3: NETWORK CONNECTION
The device has a standard Ethernet port. According to the link type, the device uses CAT3, 4, 5, 5e UTP cables to connect to any
other network devices (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

The Industrial PoE Media Converter (LGC5500A) is a cost-effective solution for conversion between 10/100/1000BASE-T(X)
and 100/1000BASE-X SFP interfaces, allowing you to extend communication distance using optical fiber. The device supports
MDI/MDIX auto detection, so you don’t need to use crossover wires. With a 10/100/1000BASET(X) P.S.E. (Power Sourcing
Equipment) port, the device can transmit electrical power up to 30 watts, along with data, to remote devices over standard
twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. It also supports LFP (Link Fault Pass-through). When one side of the link fails, the other
side continues to transmit packets and will wait for a response that never arrives from the disconnected side. LFP can be easily
enabled using the DIP switch. Once enabled, the link will shut down as soon as it is notified that the other link has failed, giving the
application software a chance to react to the situation.
The LGC5500A has a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +167° F (-40 to +75° C) and a wide voltage range between 50 to
57 VDC, so it is suitable for harsh operating environments.
