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

-20°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.

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 -20 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.

13

EX43000 series www.etherwan.com

DIN Rail Mounting

Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the
switch.

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.

Connecting to Power

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs

There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up
this device. You need to have two power inputs connected to
run the device, but the FAULT LED indicator will light up to
remind that the power redundant system functions abnormal
in case either PWR1 or PWR2 is dead. This device, however,
continues working normally even fault LED indicator lights up.

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

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

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

EX43000 series www.etherwan.com

Alarms for Power and Port Failure

There are three pins on the terminal block are used for power
failure detection. It provides the normally open or closed
output when the power source is active. Use this as a dry
contact application to send a signal for power failure
detection.
