Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the Hardened
PoE Ethernet Switch. This switch introduced here is capable
of operating at temperature extremes of -40°C to +75°C, this
is the switch of choice for harsh environments constrained by
space.
Port 1 to port 4 on this switch supports IEEE802.3at Power
over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and
can detect an IEEE802.3at compliant Powered Device (PD).
Using external 48VDC power inputs through Terminal Block,
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.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of Ethernet networking concepts.

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 -40 to 75
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.

DIN Rail Mounting
Installation: Place the switch on the DIN rail from above using
the slot. Push the front of the switch toward the mounting
surface until it audibly snaps into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the switch
from the DIN rail.
