Overview
The EDS-G205A-4PoE series industrial Ethernet switches are rugged
entry-level industrial 5-port Gigabit PoE switches for environments that
fall under the pollution degree 2 category. The industrial Ethernet
switches support IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3x with
10/100/1000M, full/half-duplex, MDI/MDIX auto-sensing, and IEEE
802.3af/IEEE 802.3at PoE standards.
The EDS-G205A-4PoE series provides 12/24/48 VDC redundant power
inputs that can be connected simultaneously to a live DC power source.
The switches are available with a standard operating temperature range
from 0 to 60°C, or with a wide operating temperature range from -40 to
75°C, and their IP30 metal housing makes them rugged enough for any
harsh industrial environment.
To provide greater versatility for use with applications from different
industries, the EDS-G205A-4PoE switches also allow users to enable or
disable broadcast storm protection, 802.3az, Jumbo frame, and PoE high
power with DIP switches on the outer panel. The EDS-G205A-4PoE
switches can be easily installed on a DIN-Rail or in distribution boxes. The
DIN-Rail mounting capability and IP30 metal housing with LED indicators
make the plug-and-play EDS-G205A-4PoE switches reliable and easy to
use.
Throughout this Hardware Installation Guide, we use EDS as an
abbreviation for Moxa EtherDevice Switch:
EDS = Moxa EtherDevice Switch
