are available for easily implementing point-to-point, linear add-drop, drop-and-repeat, star or true self-healing
ring and mesh network system architectures. The electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps (10/100 BASE-TX)
Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol. Auto-negotiating and auto- MDI/MDIX features are provided for simplicity and ease
of installation. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever
required. The CWFE8MS/DIN incorporates LED indicators for monitoring the operating status of the managed
switch and network.

harmful interference to radio communications if the equipment is not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class-A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Chapter 3 Hardware Installation
This section describes how to install the CWFE8MS/DIN managed Ethernet switch and
the installation points attached.
3.1 Installation Steps
1. Unpack the commercial switch
2. Check the DIN-Rail mounting bracket is on the switch. If the DIN-Rail is not attached,
please refer to the DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation. If the user
wants to wall mount the switch, then please refer to Wall-Mount Plate Mounting
section for wall mount plate installation.
3. To hang the Switch on the DIN-Rail track or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
4. Power on the Industrial switch. To wire the power; please refer to the Wiring the
Power Inputs section. The power LED on the Switch will light up. Please refer to the
LED Indicators section for the meaning of LED lights.
5. Prepare the twisted-pair, straight-through Category 5 cable for the Ethernet
connection.
6. Insert one side of RJ-45 cable (category 5) into the Switch Ethernet port (RJ-45 port)
and another side of RJ-45 cable (category 5) to the network devices’ Ethernet port
(RJ-45 port), ex: Switch, PC or Server. The UTP port (RJ-45) LED on the Switch will
light up when the cable connected with the network device. Please refer to the LED
Indicators section for LED light meaning.
[NOTE] Be sure the connected network devices supports MDI/MDI-X. If it does not
support then use the crossover category-5 cable.
7. When all connections are complete and LED lights all show normal operation, the
installation is complete.
11
3.2 DIN-Rail Mounting
The DIN-Rail is attached to the switch when it leaves factory. If the DIN-Rail is not
attached to the commercial switch, please see the following illustration to attach the
DIN-Rail on the switch. Follow the steps below to install the industrial switch.
Rear Panel of the switch
Use the screws to screw the DIN-Rail on the industrial switch
12
1. Insert the top of DIN-Rail into the track.
2. Lightly push the DIN-Rail into the track.
3. Check that the DIN-Rail is secured to the track.
4. To remove the switch from the track, reverse above steps.
13
3.3 Wall Mount Plate Mounting
Follow the steps below to mount the switch with a wall mount plate.
1. Remove the DIN-Rail from the industrial switch; loosen the screws and remove the
DIN-Rail.
2. Place the wall-mount plate on the rear panel of the commercial switch.
3. Use the screws to attach the wall mount plate on the commercial switch.
4. Use the hook holes at the corners of the wall mount plate to attach the switch to the
wall.
5. To remove the wall mount plate, reverse above steps.
Screw the wall mount plate on the Industrial media converter
14
3.4 Cabling
Use eight twisted-pair, Category 5 cables for the RJ-45 port connection. The cable
between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less
than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
3.5 Wiring the Power Inputs
Please follow below steps to insert the power wire.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the V+ and Vconnector on the terminal block connector.
2. To tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the DC
wires to loose.
V- V+ V- V+
[NOTE] The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range of 12~ 24 AWG.
15
3.6 Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault-alarm contact is in the middle of the terminal-block connector as the figure
shows below. By inserting the wires and setting the DIP switches to “ON” status, it will
detect the fault status of power and port link failures.
The following figure shows an application example for the fault alarm contact.
[NOTE] The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range between 12~ 24
AWG.
Insert the wires into the fault alarm contact
