Wiring Requirements

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa Industrial Media Converter.

ATTENTION

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 Moxa Industrial Media
Converter

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
for PTC-101-LV series

The top five contacts of the 8-contact terminal block connector on the
PTC-101-LV’s top panel are used for the PTC-101-LV’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 the
PTC-101-LV’s top panel.

ATTENTION

Before connecting PTC-101-LV to the DC power inputs,
make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

Communication Connections

PTC-101 models have one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port, and one 100BaseFX
(SC, ST, or LC type connector) fiber port.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on PTC-101’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.

100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection

The concept behind the SC 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.

All you need to remember is 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 are making 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).

Redundant Power Inputs

For PTC-101-LV series, 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 Moxa Industrial Media Converter’s
power needs.

DIP Switch Setting

12345

ON DIP

DIP No. Function ON OFF

1 Auto Negotiation Enable Disable

“ON”: Enables “Auto Negotiation” function, the speed and duplex states for

each port link segment are automatically configured using the highest
performance interoperation mode.

“OFF”: Disables “Auto Negotiation” function, the speed and duplex states

depend on the manual setting configuration.

2 Force TP Speed 100Mbps 10Mbps

(Only when Auto Negotiation is disabled)
“ON”: Forces 100Mbps on Ethernet port.
“OFF”: Forces 10Mbps on Ethernet port.

3 Force TP Duplex Full Duplex Half Duplex

(Only when Auto Negotiation is disabled)
“ON”: Forces Full Duplex on Ethernet port.
“OFF”: Forces Half Duplex on Ethernet port.

4 Link Fault Pass Through Enable Disable

“ON”: Enables “Link Fault Pass Through”, the link status on the TX port will

inform the FX port of the same device and vice versa.

“OFF”: Disables “Link Fault Pass Through”, the link status on the TX port

will not inform the FX port.

5 Operating Mode Store-and-Forward Pass Through

“ON”: Selects “Store-and-Forward” mode, begins to forward a packet to a

destination port after an entire packet is received. The latency depends
on the packet length.

“OFF”: Selects “Pass Through” mode, operates with the minimum latency.

Both transceivers are interconnected via internal MIIs and the
internal switch engine and data buffer are not used.

Note: With “Pass Through” mode enabled, the Ethernet port and fiber port

should transmit at 100 Mbps, which is equivalent to full duplex mode.

Default DIP settings are all at ON position.

ATTENTION

After changing the DIP switch setting, you will need to
power off and then power on the PTC-101 to activate the
new setting.
