that you understand it fully. Check that your application does not exceed the safe
operating specifications for this unit.

This unit should only be installed by qualified personnel.

This unit should be built-in to an apparatus cabinet, or similar, where access is
restricted to service personnel only. The power supply wiring must be sufficiently
fused, and if necessary it must be possible to disconnect manually from all power
supply. Ensure compliance to national installation regulations. This unit relies on
convection cooling. Make sure that it is installed so that the ambient temperature
is within the specified temperature range, e.g. by avoiding obstruction of the
airflow around the unit. Also check chapter EN 45545-2 mounting notes.

The unit has no internal fuse and should be connected via an external fuse. The
fuse should be calculated in accordance with the rated current.

Before mounting, using or removing this unit:

Prevent access to hazardous voltage by disconnecting the unit from all power supply.

WARNING

Do not open connected unit. Hazardous voltage may occur within this unit when
connected to power supply.

Before powering-up, a protective earthing conductor must be connected to the
protective earthing terminal and have a cross-sectional area of at least 1.5 mm².
Note that this unit can be connected to two different power sources.

Be aware of that the surface of this unit may become hot. When this unit is
operated at high temperatures, the External Surface of Equipment may exceed
Touch Temperature Limit according to EN/IEC/UL 60950-1.

To reduce the risk of fire:

1. Use only No. 18 AWG or larger power cable for -LV Viper units

2. Use only No. 21 AWG or larger power cable for -HV Viper units

3. Use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord

Description

Designed for harsh industrial environments

The Viper-12A-PoE series is a series of managed 12 port switches optimised for the needs of the
railway rolling stock market. PoE ports offer effective powering of end-devices and Gbps ports
cope with high bandwidth devices such as access points and NVRs (Network Video Recorders).

The Viper is designed to withstand the tough environment on-board trains, exposing the switch
to constant vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and a demanding electrical environment.

A GORE-TEX® membrane prevents internal condensation. Threading integrated in
chassis provides for additional vibration resistance. High-level isolation between all
interfaces enables direct connectivity to vehicle auxiliary power and protects against
overvoltage and flashover. IP67 protection prevents ingress of water and dust. An overall
optimised design results in an extremely compact package in combination with very high
MTBF for easy integration and low lifecycle cost.

Thorough type testing at independent labs certify the compliance to a wide range of
standards, not least EN 50155, where the highest class is achieved in all aspects. The
state-of-the-art Westermo production facility ensures the quality of each individual unit,
e.g. through temperature cycling burn-in testing.

The WeOS operating system offers an extensive suite of IP networking features for
resilient and flexible networks, e.g. the FRNT ring protocol with very fast failover on
100 Mbps as well as Gbps ports. The powerful layer 3 routing capability is very useful for
separating networks in complex applications. The backup device accessory matches the
Viper in robustness and offers easy configuration update and backup.

Meeting the requirements of the railcar market, the Viper is very well suited for
deployment in any other application with severe operating conditions and tough
environments, for instance in the mining industry.

Product models

All switches are managed and have eight PoE ports. Viper x12A-PoE is used when
referring to both models 112A-PoE and 212A-PoE.

Connection of cables

Recommended tightening torque for the M12 connectors: 0.6 Nm
Note that unused connectors must be covered by a protective cap (delivered with the

unit), tightened to the specified torque, in order to fulfill the specified ingress protection
code.

When connecting the power cable, ensure that the pins are connected correctly before
tightening the power cable to the unit.

Removal

Disconnect all cables and unscrew the unit from the wall. Time for replacement
< 10 minutes.

Cooling

This unit relies on convection cooling. Make sure that it is installed so that the ambient
temperature is within the specified temperature range, e.g. by avoiding obstruction of the
airflow around the unit.

Hot surface

Be aware of that the surface of this unit may became hot.

EN 45545-2 mounting notes

Two Viper units can be mounted together and as a single interior non-listed group in the
sense of EN 45545-2 definitions. For multiple units, the spacing requirements for interior
non-listed groups must be met.

Wall mounting

There are four 7 mm bores intended for mounting the unit. The unit can be mounted
vertical or horizontal. Use four M5 screws with 12 mm washer on a flat and stable
surface.

• WeConfig

WeConfig is a Network configuration management tool (NCM) made for
commissioning and maintenance of components in a network.

• Web

Configuration of the unit using the web browser.

• CLI
Configuration of the unit via the Command Line Interface.

If the computer is located in the same subnet as the switch you can easily use a web
browser to configure the unit. Within the web you can configure most of the available
functions.

For advanced network settings and more diagnostic information, please use the CLI.
Detailed documentation is available in the chapter ”The Command Line Management
Tool” in the WeOS management guide.

Factory default IP address: 192.168.2.200 (and DHCP client)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Disabled

Note! If you are not sure about the subnet – consult your network administrator.

Configuration

Configure the unit via web browser

The unit can easily be configured via a web browser. Open the link http://192.168.2.200
in your web browser, and you will be prompted with a login screen, where the default
settings for username and password are:

Username: admin
Password: westermo

Once you have logged in, you can use the extensive integrated help function describing
all configuration options. Two common task when configuring a new switch is to assign
appropriate IP settings, and to change the password of the admin account. The password
can be up to 64 characters long, and should consist of printable ASCII characters (ASCII
33-126); 'Space' is not a valid password character.

Cable factory reset

It is possible to set the unit to factory default settings by using two standard Ethernet
M12 cables.

1. Power off the switch and disconnect all Ethernet cables.

2. Connect one Ethernet cable between Ethernet ports X5 and X10 and the other
between Ethernet ports X6 and X9. The ports need to be connected directly by an
Ethernet cable, i.e., not via a hub or switch. Use a straight cable – not a cross-over
cable – when connecting the ports.

3. Power on the unit.

4. Wait for the unit to start up. Check that the ON LED is flashing red. The ON LED
flashing indicates that the unit is now ready to be reset to factory default. You now
have the choice to go ahead with the factory reset, or to skip factory reset and boot
as normal.

• Go ahead with factory reset:

Acknowledge that you wish to conduct the factory reset by unplugging one of the
Ethernet cables. The ON LED will stop flashing. This initiates the factory reset
process, and the unit will restart with factory default settings.

• Skip the factory reset:

To skip the factory reset process, just wait for approximately 30 seconds (after the
ON LED starts flashing RED) without unplugging any of the Ethernet cables. The
switch will conduct a normal boot with the existing settings.
