Transition Networks SISTF10xx-130-LR(T) redundant
ring industrial switch connects three (3) 10Base-T /
100Base-TX twisted-pair copper cable lines to two
(2) 100Base-FX fiber-optic cable lines. The

SISTF10xx-130-LR(T) is designed for harsh industrial
environments such as hazardous locations (Class 1 Division 2 / Zone 2), includes a
relay output warning alarm, and is designed to withstand a high degree of vibration
and shock. It is also available in models that operate in either standard or extended
temperature ranges.

Installation

DIN-Rail Mount

The SISTF10xx-130-LR(T) Ethernet switch includes an aluminum DIN-Rail
mounting plate attached to the device’s back panel. To mount the SISTF10xx­130-LR(T) onto a DIN-Rail:

1. Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into the upper slot of the mounting plate.

Installation -- Continued

The SISTF10xx-130-LR(T) is a plug-and-play unmanaged Ethernet switch with
Redundant Ring technology for better network reliability and faster recovery
time. The recovery time is less that 300 ms compared to 3 to 5 minutes for
commercial switches. Also, when one segment of the network gets
disconnected, the Redundant Ring automatically re-establishes network
connectivity.

The stiff metal spring should be positioned behind the DIN-Rail.

2. Push down and rotate the device to snap it into place on the DIN-Rail as
shown.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Master Device

The Redundant Ring technology identifies one switch as the Ring Master of
the network, and then automatically blocks packets from traveling through
any of the network’s redundant loops. To designate one of the SISTF10xx-

mounting

plate

spring

130-LR(T) devices to be the network’s Ring Master, set switch 6 on that device
to “ON”.

If two or more devices are set to be the Ring Master, those devices with their
switch 6 set to “ON” auto-negotiate to determine which one is the Ring

DIN-Rail

Master. Also, if none of the devices are set to be the Ring Master, the
Redundant Ring technology chooses the device that has the smallest MAC
address range to be the Ring Master.

The actual topology of the Redundant Ring (i.e., which segment is blocked) is

screw by looping one end of the grounding wire under the star washer.

If there is an even number of
devices in the ring, the backup
segment is one of the two segments
connected to the unit directly
opposite the Ring Master:

2. Tighten the grounding screw with a phillips-head screwdriver.

3. Connect the other end of the grounding wire to earth ground.

CAUTION: Disconnect the SISTF10xx-130-LR(T) from the DC power

source BEFORE installing and/or wiring the device.

Install the Fiber Cable

To build the Redundant Ring network, connect the SISTF10xx-130-LR(T)
devices using the two fiber ports labeled “4” and “5”. The fiber links can be
connected between two adjacent devices using any of the following
combinations:

A: Port 4 of one device connected to port 4 of the adjacent device.

B: Port 4 of one device connected to port 5 of the adjacent device.

C: Port 5 of one device connected to port 5 of the adjacent device.

Install the Copper Cable

The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI­X) copper cable to be used when connecting devices via the RJ-45 port.

1. Locate or build 10Base-T or 100Base-TX copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the SISTF10xx-130-LR(T).

3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the other device (PLC, workstation, etc.).

Set the Dip Switches

• The dip switches are located on the top panel of the device.

When connecting the fiber links, make sure the transmit (TX) port on one
device is connected to the receive (RX) port on the adjacent device as shown:

• Use a small flat blade screwdriver or a similar device to set the switches.

NOTE: To activate the updated switch setting, cycle the power to the
SISTF10xx-130-LR(T) by turning off the power, then turning it back on.

NOTE: Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

signal wire. Observe all electrical codes for maximum current allowed.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring would
overheat, causing serious damage to the network equipment.

The port alarm feature is used to determine faults at the copper or fiber ports.

• Switches 1, 2, and 3 correspond to copper ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

• Switches 4 and 5 correspond to fiber ports 4 and 5, respectively.

on: Enables the corresponding port alarm.

If the link for that port fails (or if a
power supply input fails), the internal
relay forms an open circuit and the
FAULT LED lights up.

alarm. The internal relay forms a
closed circuit and the FAULT LED
