This manual serves the following
ComNet Model Numbers:
RLGE2+1SMS24DC
RLGE2+1SMS48DC
RLGE2+1SMSHV
The ComNet RLGE2+1SMS is designed for deployment in environments where high
levels of electromagnetic noise and interference (EMI) and severe voltage transients
and surges are routinely encountered.
The DIP-switch-selectable 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-FX port supports conventional
CAT-5e/CAT-6 copper or optical transmission media by selection of the appropriate
ComNet SFP module.
User-selectable link fault pass-through provides remote indication of a network fault,
and a summary fault alarm provides a local or remote indication via Form C dry
contact closure in the event of loss of optical link or operating power.
The 10/100/1000BASE-TX ports support both auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/
MDI-X crossover for full and half-duplex operation; manual MDI/MDI-X switching is
not required.
The RLGE2+1SMS comes pre-programmed, preventing network video flooding with
DIP-switch selection of the SFP port as uplink or as an unmanaged switch.
LED indicators confirm operational status.
See Figures 1 – 8 for complete operation details.
The RLGE2+1SMS is DIN-rail or panel-mountable. See Figure A on the last page for
mounting instructions.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL RLGE2+1SMS SERIES
Locate the 100/1000 data rate DIP switch on the bottom panel of the unit.
Set the data rate according to bandwidth required.
NOTE: If two units are connected via the SFP Port, the data rate must be set the same on both units, and must match the
data rate of the installed SFPs. Data rate settings are read on start-up, so restart the unit after making any changes.
2 - SET FAULT DIP SWITCHES (UTP MODELS ONLY, FOR COAX MODELS SKIP TO STEP 3)
Locate the LFE1,LFE2, FFE, and PSE DIP switches on the bottom panel of the unit.
LFE1 or LFE 2: If the Copper Port is Down or Not Connected, the Optical Port will turn on and off at a ~1 sec rate to indicate
copper port fault and the alarm relay will be triggered.
FFE: If the optical link is lost or there is a power failure then the alarm relay output will be triggered.
NOTE: You may select multiple fault event triggers.
NOTE: Power Supply Fault DIP Switch is only available on Redundant Power Models. When a redundant power supply is
available, a failure of power on one power supply will trigger the alarm relay output.
NOTE: Restart not required when making changes to this DIP switch setting.
100 Mbps Speed Set Speed must match speed of installed
SFP. Reset power if switch or SFP is changed.
1000 Mbps Speed Set. Speed must match speed of installed SFP. Reset power if switch or SFP is changed.
3 - SET VLAN DIP SWITCH
If required, set the unit to provide port isolation. With VLAN enabled (ON), in the case of TX port isolation, the SFP port will act as
the uplink port. When two units are connected via fiber and both have VLAN enabled, traffic from Port 1 will go to Port 1 and traffic
from Port 2 will go to Port 2 only, functioning like two separate media converters over one fiber.
4 - CONNECT GROUND WIRING
Connect Ground Wiring to ground screw and tighten nut to secure.
5 - CONNECT FAULT RELAY WIRING
Connect Fauly Relay device to 3-pin terminal block. The COM to N/O will be shorted in the fault condition.
6 - CONNECT DATA WIRING
Connect RJ-45 Ports to field wiring using Cat5/5e/6 cable.
7 - CONNECT NETWORK WIRING
Using fiber optic cabling appropriate to the installed SFP, connect the unit to a network device.

Figure 6 - Fault Relay Operation
The fault relay is normally closed and will open on any of the following alarm conditions:
- Link Fault is enabled on the remote RLGE2+1SMS unit and the corresponding copper port has been
disconnected.
- Link Fault is enabled on the local RLGE2+1SMS unit and the corresponding copper port has been
disconnected.
- Fiber Fault is enabled on the local RLGE2+1SMS unit and the fiber link is down or the power has been lost
to either the local or remote RLGE2+1SMS unit.

ProblemSteps to Take
Power LED not lightingCheck that power is properly applied to the unit using the correct connector pair.
No CommunicationCheck Ethernet Link LEDs, Fiber Optic Link LEDs. Confirm Connections, DIP switches are set properly. Verify that the Data Rate switches are set
to the same data rate on back-to-back units and match the installed SFP. Restart the unit if the Data Rate Switch or installed SFP has changed.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Considerations
This product is supplied as Standalone/Surface Mount module. Units should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, 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 (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
