Preface

A member of the growing family of rugged switches, this
Industrial PoE Ethernet Switch addresses a need for a
smaller switch. This switch provides an affordable solution
for rugged and outdoor environment, transportation
road-side cabinet, industrial floor shop, multitenant
dwellings or Fiber To The Home (FTTH) applications.
Capable of operating at temperature extremes of -10℃ to

+60℃, this is the switch of choice for harsh environments
constrained by space.

Port 1 to port 4 on this Switch supports IEEE802.3af Power
over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and
can detect an IEEE802.3af compliant Powered Device
(PD). Using external 48VDC power inputs through
Terminal Block or Power Jack, data and power can be
transmitted to a Powered Device (PD) over the same
twisted-pair Ethernet cable through port 1 to port 4 on the
Switch.

This manual describes how to install and use the Industrial
Ethernet Switch. This switch integrates full wire speed
switching technology. This switch brings the answer to
complicated hardened networking environments.

To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of Ethernet networking concepts.

In this manual, you will find:

• Features on the switch

• Illustrative LED functions

• Installation instructions

• Specifications

Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to
install the switch:

Selecting a Site for the Switch

As with any electric device, you should place the switch
where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the
site you select should meet the following requirements:

- The ambient temperature should be between -10 to 60

degrees Celsius.

- The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent,

non-condensing.

- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the

electromagnetic field (RFC) standards.

- Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation.

Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the
switch

- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the

switch.

Connecting to Power

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs and 48VDC
DC Jack:

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs

There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power
up this device. You only need to have one power input
connected to run the switch.

Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal block on the

switch, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.

Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the switch.

48VDC DC Jack

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on

the back side of the switch.

Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach

the plug into a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.

12

Industrial PoE Ethernet Switch

Alarms for Power and Port Link Failure

Step 1: There are two pins on the terminal block are used for power failure

detection. It provides the normally closed output when the power
source is active. Use this as a dry contact application to send a
signal for power failure detection.

Cabling

Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices are turned off.

<Note> Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.

Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port

in use.

Step 3: Consult the previous section for cabling requirements based on

connectors and speed.

Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a

desired device.

Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made

successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.
