Overview
The EDS-G205A-4PoE series industrial Ethernet switches are rugged
entry-level industrial 5-port gigabit PoE switches that support IEEE 802.3,
IEEE 802.3u, 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 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 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.

Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the EDS when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal spring
is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 1:
Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into
the slot just below the stiff metal
spring.
STEP 2:
The DIN-Rail attachment unit will
snap into place as shown below.
