Overview

The EDS-P206A-4PoE series industrial Ethernet switches are entry-level
industrial 6-port PoE Ethernet switches that support IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u,
and IEEE 802.3x, with 10/100M, full/half-duplex, MDI/MDIX auto-sensing,
IEEE 802.3af, and IEEE 802.3at.

The EDS-P206A-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-P206A-4PoE switches also allow users to enable or disable broadcast
storm protection with DIP switches on the outer panel.

The EDS-P206A-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-P206A-4PoE switches
reliable and easy to use.

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.

Wall Mounting (optional)

For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the
EDS-P206A-4PoE on the wall, as shown in the following figures.

STEP 1: Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the
EDS-P206A-4PoE’s rear
panel, and then attach the
wall mount plates as shown
in the diagram at the right.

STEP 2:

Mounting the EDS-P206A-4PoE on the wall requires 4
screws. Use the switch, with wall mount plates attached,
as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws.
The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in
diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in
diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.

6.0 mm

3.5 mm

NOTE

Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one of
the keyhole-shaped apertures of the wall mounting plates.

Do not screw the screws in completely—leave about 2 mm to allow room for
sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.

STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed on the wall, insert the four screw heads through the
large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the
EDS-205A/208A downwards, as indicated. Tighten the four screws for added
stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The
correct power supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check
the voltage of your power source to make sure that you are using
the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than what is
specified on the product label.

- 9 -

WARNING

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
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.

You should also pay attention to the following points:

y 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 power wiring in
the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.

y You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine

which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that
shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

y Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
y It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when

necessary.

Grounding the EtherDevice Switch

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 4-contact terminal
block connector on the EDS’s top panel are used for the EDS’s two DC inputs.
Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

Top View

Front View

STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+
terminals.

STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small
flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the
front of the terminal block connector.

STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into
the terminal block receptor, which is located on EDS’s top
panel.

ATTENTION

Before connecting the EtherDevice Switch to the DC power
inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

Communication Connections

The EDS-P206A-4PoE switches have 6, 7, or 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports,
and 2, 1, or 0 (zero) 100BaseFX multi/single-mode (SC/ST-type connector)
fiber ports.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the EDS’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

100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection

The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose
you are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical signals, optical
signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of
the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the
other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for
full-duplex transmission.

Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port
of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of
device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the
same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or
A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

ATTENTION

This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious
damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the Laser Beam.

Redundant Power Inputs

Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources.
If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup, and
automatically supplies all of the EDS’s power needs.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s
10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to pay
attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This
means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable to
connect the EDS to Ethernet devices.

Dual Speed Functionality and
Switching

The Moxa EtherDevice 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, so that 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 full or half
duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported by the attached
device.

Switching, Filtering, and Forwarding

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 the 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 ports where it is
not needed. Packets that are used in maintaining the operation of the network
(such as the occasional multi-cast packet) are forwarded to all ports. The EDS
operates in the store-and-forward switching mode, which eliminates bad
packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when there is heavy
traffic on the network.

Switching and Address Learning

The EDS has an address table that can hold up to 1024 addresses, which makes
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
EDS automatically keeps up with new node locations. 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 EDS’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 same 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 EDS advertises its capability for using either
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at the other end of
the cable expected to advertise in a similar manner. Depending on what type of
device is connected, this will result in agreement to operate at a speed of either
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If an EDS RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a
non-negotiating device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode,
