2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it
on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
Flexibility and Network Distance Extension Solution
The MC350-4T-2S Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch is equipped with four 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation ports and
two 100/1000X SFP slots. The two SFP slots are compatible with 1000Base-SX / LX or 100Base-FX through SFP (Small
Form Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic transceiver; the two SFP slots allow changing the operation speed mode with its built-in
DIP switch. The fiber optical uplink capability guarantees the throughput to all nodes hooked into the network and the
Gigabit Ethernet distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber cable) up to 10/20/50/70 kilometers
(Single-Mode fiber
20/40/60 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber cable). They are well suited for applications within the factory data centers and
distributions.
Adjustable 6-Port Switch Mode or 4 + 2 Fiber Redundant Mode
Via the built-in DIP switch, the MC350-4T-2S can be configured as 6-Port Ethernet switch or 4+2 fiber redundant mode.
With the 6-Port switch mode, the MC350-4T-2S can operate in Store-and-Forward mechanism with high performance; on
the other hand, when in the 4+2 fiber redundant mode, it provides rapid fiber redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet
applications. The redundant mode also supports auto-recovering function. If the destination port of a packet is link down, it
will forward the packet to the other port of the backup pair.
cable). The Fast Ethernet distance can also be extended from 2km (Multi-Mode fiber cable) up to
Environmentally Hardened Design
With IP30 metal industrial case protection, the MC350-4T-2S provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. It
also possesses an integrated power supply source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC or 24V AC) for worldwide
high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs. Being able to operate under the temperature range
from -40 to 75 degree C, the MC350-4T-2S can be placed in almost any difficult environment. The compact, IP-30
standard metal case of MC350-4T-2S allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet space.
Robust Gigabit Switch Performance
The MC350-4T-2S has 1K MAC Address table and offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet
loss, the high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments. With a 12Gbps internal
switching fabric and featuring auto negotiation support in each Gigabit port, the MC350-4T-2S Industrial Gigabit Ethernet
Switch can handle large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The flow control function enables the MC350-4T-2S to provide fast and reliable data transfer. All of the RJ-45 copper
interfaces in the MC350-4T-2S support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45
Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. The standard Auto-MDI/MDI-X support can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet
device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.

Step 2: Check whether the DIN-Rail is screwed on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch. (Please refer to DIN-Rail
Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation if the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the Industrial switch). If you want to wall
mount the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch, then please refer to the Wall Mount Plate Mounting section for wall
mount plate installation.
Step 3: To hang the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch on the DIN-Rail track or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
Step 4: Power on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch. (Please refer to the Wiring of the Power Inputs section for power
input) The power LED on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch will light up. Please refer to the LED Indicators
section for the functions of LED lights.
Step 5: Prepare the twisted-pair, straight through Category 5 cable for Ethernet connection.
Step 6: Insert one side of Category 5 cables into the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) while the
other side of category 5 cable to the network devices' Ethernet port (RJ-45 port), e.g. switch, PC or Server. The
UTP port (RJ-45) LED on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch will light up when the cable is connected with the
network device. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for the functions of LED lights.
Step 7: When all connections are all set and LED lights all show normally, the installation is complete.
Make sure the connected network devices support MDI/MDI-X. If it does not support,
then use the crossover category 5 Cable.
4. Switch Operation
4.1 Address Table
The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table is composed of many
entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no,
etc. This information comes from the learning process of Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
4.2 Learning
When one packet comes in from any port, the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch will record the source address, port no,
and the other related information in the address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering
for future packets.
4.3 Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch, it will also check the destination
address besides the source address learning. The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch will look up the address table for the
destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port which this packet
comes in. And these ports will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is
located at a different port from this packet that comes in, the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch will forward this packet to
the port where this destination address is located according to the information from address table. But, if the destination
address is located at the same port with this packet, then this packet will be filtered; thereby increasing the network
throughput and availability.
4.4 Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and-Forward Industrial Gigabit Ethernet
Switch stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer and does the complete error checking before
transmission. Therefore, no error packets will occur. It is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.
The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing
table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch
attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the
switch is most commonly used for segment existing in hub, which nearly always improves overall performance. An
Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth
using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch, the source address and corresponding port
number of each incoming and outgoing packet is stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to
filter packets whose destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic
to its respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.
27
The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch performs "Store and Forward"; therefore, no error packets occur. More
reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.
4.5 Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch have a built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This technology
automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually
at Power On or Reset). This is done by detecting the modes and speeds at the second of both devices. Both 10Base-T
and 100Base-TX devices can be connected with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T can be only
connected in Full-duplex mode.

5. Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch is not functioning
properly, make sure the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.
The per port LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the cable connection of the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch is run at Auto-negotiation
mode and if the partner is set to half duplex, then the performance will be poor.
Per port LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular
Solution:
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use a physical or software switch to
change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of full-duplex setting.
Why the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch doesn’t connect to the network
Solution:
Check per port LED on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Try another port on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet
Switch. Make sure the cable is installed properly and the right type. Turn off the power. After a while, turn on the power
again.
Can I install S30-SX or other non- wide temperature SFP module into SFP slot of Industrial Gigabit
Ethernet Switch?
Solution:
Yes, you can. However, the S30-SX and the other non- wide temperature SFP module cannot operate under -40 to 75
degrees C.
