Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing an d/or
wiring your Moxa EtherDevice Switch.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical code
maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects
of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the right
most contact of the 3

devices.

You should also pay attention to the following points:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and po wer wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.
• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separa te. The ru le of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
• It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the syste m
when necessary.

Communication Connections
The EDS-205 has five10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the EDS switch’s front panel are
used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the switch’s
10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, regardless of the type
of Ethernet cable being used for th e connection. This mea ns that you can
use either a straight-through or cross-over cable to connect the EDS to
your Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The switch’s 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto negotiates with the
connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by both
devices. All models of Moxa EtherDevice Switch are plug-and-play
devices; software configuration is not required at installation, or during
maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the switched RJ45 ports is
user dependent and changes (by auto-negotiation) to fu ll o r ha lf dup lex ,
depending on which transmission speed is supported by the attached
device.

Each time a packet arrives at one of the switched ports, a decision is
made to either filter or forward the packet. Packets with source and
destination addresses belonging to the same port segment will be filtered,
constraining those packets to one port, and relieving the rest of t he
network from the need to process them. A packet with destination
address on another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate
port, and will not be sent to the other ports where it is not needed.
Packets that are used to maintain the operation of the network (such as
the occasional multi-cast packet) are forwarded to all ports. The switch
operates in the store-and-forward switching mode, which eliminat es bad
packets and enables peak performance to be achieved whe n t h ere is
heavy traffic on the network.
Switching and Address Learning
The Moxa EtherDevice switch has an addr ess table that can hold up t o 1K
node addresses, making it suitable for use with large networks. The
address tables are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed,
or moved from one segment to another, the switch automatically adds
new node locations to the tables. An address-aging algorithm causes the
least-used addresses to be deleted in favor of newer, more frequently
used addresses. To reset the address buffer, power down the unit and
then power it back up.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of the switch’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support
auto-negotiation for speeds in the 10BaseT and 100BaseTX modes, with
operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. This means that some
nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the s ame time, other nodes
are operating at 100 Mbps.
Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and
then each time a LINK is enabled. The Moxa EtherDevice switch
advertises its capability for using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
transmission speeds, with the device at the other end of the cab le
expected to similarly advertise. The two devices will agree to operate at
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If a Moxa EtherDevice switch’s RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a
non-negotiating device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex
mode, as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
