Special Product Features
• Simple installation – just click onto top-hat rail.
• 4 PoE+-powered network ports (max. 25.5 W per port, max. 75 W
total load on all PoE+ ports combined)
• 1 network port for connecting LAN or computer (“Uplink”).
• Integrated power supply for door opener with 12 V DC, 1 A (e.g.,
switched by BellRFID or KeypadRFID).
Safety Warnings
•
The MOBOTIX MxSwitch is only to be used in switch boxes and must
be installed on top-hat rails (also “cap rail” or “DIN rail”).
• This product must not be used in locations exposed to the dangers
of explosion.
• Only use an external power supply with 48 V DC and min. 2 A.
•
Make sure to respect the operating temperature range of 0 to +40 °C
for the MxSwitch.
•
Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may only
be installed, modied and maintained by a qualied electrician or
• Unused wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 of network installation cables for
PoE ports A and D passed through to terminals.
• Push-button switch activates 12 V DC for 90 sec. on terminals
17/18 (to temporarily disable the protection of the frames of
door stations and MxDisplay units).
•
Integrated extensibility for additional top-hat rail modules (“Backbone”).
under the direction and supervision of a qualied electrician in
accordance with the applicable guidelines. Make sure to properly
set up all electrical connections.
•
Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the necessary
conguration options for operation in Ethernet networks in compliance with data protection laws. The operator is responsible for the
data protection concept across the entire system. The basic settings
required to prevent misuse can be congured in the soware and
are password-protected. This prevents unauthorized parties from
accessing these settings.
Installing and Removing the MxSwitch
Caution – Danger of Life! Switch o all power to the switch box before working on the switch box and make sure that the
power lines do not carry any current!
1. Installing the Module
Place the module onto the top-hat rail at the desired location, then
gently press the module onto the rail at the indicated locations until
it clicks into place.
2. Removing the Module
Remove the network cable and any other cables or wires; isolate blank
wire ends, if required.
Push a suitable screwdriver into the red clip on one side of the module
(top or bottom), then gently pull the clip from the housing until it clicks
into the open locked position. Repeat the procedure on the clip on the
other side and remove the module.
Aer the clips have clicked into place, you can easily slide the module
on the rail until you have positioned it properly.
Connecting the MxSwitch and the Powered Devices
1. Notes on Connecting
Terminals
• Terminals 1 to 4: Spare wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 on network port A.
• Terminals 5 to 12: Reserved for future extensions (“Backbone”).
•
Terminals 13 to 16: Spare wire pairs 7/8 and 4/5 on network port D.
• Terminals 17/18: Power supply for disabling the the protection
(see
«Deactivating the The Protection»
• Terminals 19/20: Power supply for door opener (e.g., switched
by BellRFID or KeypadRFID).

2. Using the Spare Wire Pairs (Ports A and D)

For these two ports, the wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 have been looped through
to the terminals so they can be used for other purposes (see also section
«Example Scenarios»
Make sure to use a standard network installation cable since you need
to apply crimping plugs inside the switch box or use a patch eld to
connect the cable to the MxSwitch.
3. Using the Uplink Port
This port can be used to connect to another switch (and thus to the
network) or to a router. If this port is not used, you can connect a
computer to congure the network devices powered by the MxSwitch.

The MxSwitch has the following LEDs:
• 4 LEDs to indicate activity on the network port above each LED.
• 1 LED lights up aer pressing the push-button switch. The LED
stays on as long as the wires for deactivating the the protection is powered (see the following

2. Deactivating the The Protection
If the wires for deactivating the the protection of a MOBOTIX frame
for a door station or an MxDisplay have been connected to the terminals 17/18, you can press the push-button switch inside the module to
deactivate the the protection of the attached frames for at least 90 sec.
During this time, you can use the supplied key or ruler to open the frames
and remove the door station modules or the MxDisplay, respectively.
Caution:
without modules in the frame
