pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense.
CAUTION
This product contains a laser system and is classified as a “CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT”
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempted service by
unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RuggedCom Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate

The RuggedSwitch M2200 is a MIL-STD hardened, fully managed, modular Gigabit Ethernet
switch specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh environments. The M2200’s superior
ruggedized hardware design coupled with the embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™)
provides improved system reliability, and advanced cyber security and networking features making
it ideal for creating secure mission critical real-time control applications, and for aggregating
Ethernet switches onto a Gigabit backbone.
The M2200's modular flexibility offers 1000BaseX fiber (LC connectors) and 10/100/1000BaseTX
copper port (Micro-D connectors) combinations. The M2200 is packaged in a rugged galvanized
steel enclosure and provides MIL-901D shock and vibration immunity. The M2200 is highly
versatile and suitable for many applications within a “harsh” environment.
Ethernet Ports
• Up to 9-Gigabit Ethernet ports - copper and/or fiber
• 2 port modules for tremendous flexibility

MIL-STD Ratings
• MIL-STD 901D – Shock (Hard Mounted)
• MIL-STD 167 – Vibration
• MIL-STD 461 – EMI
• MIL-STD 1399 – Magnetic Field (DC Magnetic Exposure)
Each Ethernet module is equipped with two LEDs that indicate link/activity status information. The
LED will be solid for ports with link, and will blink for activity. The diagram in Figure 1 highlights the
port and the associated link/activity LED.
3.2.1 Fiber Optical Transceiver Orientation and Connection
Depending on the order code of the product, the M2000 series products can be equipped with
different types of fiber optic ports. The Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) connections of each port
must be properly connected and matched for proper link and operation. Modules populated on the
top row of the device typically have locking mechanisms or tabs towards the top of the unit.
Modules located on the bottom row of the device have locking mechanisms or tabs towards the
bottom of the device.
The drawings in the following figures show each fiber optical connector style with a side and top
view to allow the user to identify the proper cable connection orientation. If modules are populated
on the bottom row of the device, the transceiver orientation will be reversed (i.e. RX and TX will be
reversed).
The M2000 series products are equipped with a versatile display panel, shown in Figure 3, which is
designed to provide quick status information for each port, as well as the entire device to allow for
simple diagnostics and troubleshooting. It features:
• RS232 console port for ‘out of band’ console access and configuration
• Power supply and Alarm status indicators
• Convenient port status indicators conveying Link-Activity, Duplex, or Speed via push-
button control.
• System reset via push-button if held for 5 seconds
