The Terminal Block and Power Input

The Terminal Block

PWR Power Input

GND Power Ground

Earth Ground

DC Terminal Block Power Input: The DC Terminal Block
power input can be used to power up this Switch / Media
Converter.

CAUTION: This equipment is designed to permit the

connection of the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit
to the earthing conductor at the equipment.

If this connection is made, all of the following conditions must
be met:
 This equipment shall be connected to directly to the DC

supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a
bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to
which the DC supply system earthing electrode
conductor is connected.

 This equipment shall be located in the same immediate

area (such as, adjacent cabinets) as any other
equipment that has a connection between the earthed
conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the
earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the

The DC supply source is to be located within the same



premises as the equipment.

 Switching or disconnecting devices shall not be in the

earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and
the point of connection of the earthing electrode
conductor.

Assembly, Startup, and Dismantling

 Assembly: Place the device on the DIN rail from above

using the slot. Push the front of the device toward the
mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.

 Startup: Connect the supply voltage to start up the

device via the terminal block.

 Dismantling: Pull out the lower edge and then remove

the device from the DIN rail.

Preface

A member of the growing family of rugged switches, this
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°C to +60°C, this is the switch of choice for harsh
environments constrained by space.

Plug-and-Play Solution:
The switch is a plug-and-play Fast Ethernet Switch in
compact size. It doesn't have any complicated software to set
up.

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.
