Preface
A member of the growing family of rugged switches, this
Hardened PoE Ethernet Switch addresses a need for a
smaller switch. This switch provides an affordable solution for
rugged and outdoor environment, transportation road-side
cabinet, industrial floor shop, multitenant dwellings or Fiber To
The Home (FTTH) applications. Capable of operating at
temperature extremes of -40C to +75C, this is the switch of
choice for harsh environments constrained by space.
Port 1 to port 4 on this Switch supports IEEE802.3at Power
over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and
can detect an IEEE802.3at compliant Powered Device (PD).
Using external 18~57VDC power inputs through Terminal
Block, data and power can be transmitted to a Powered
Device (PD) over the same twisted-pair Ethernet cable
through port 1 to port 4 on the Switch.
This manual describes how to install and use the Hardened
PoE Ethernet Switch. This switch integrates full wire speed
switching technology. This switch brings the answer to
complicated Industrial networking environments.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of Ethernet networking concepts.
In this manual, you will find:

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to
install the switch:

Selecting a Site for the Switch

As with any electric device, you should place the switch
where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site
you select should meet the following requirements:

The ambient temperature should be between -40 to 75

degrees Celsius.
The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent,
non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the
electromagnetic field (RFC) standards.
Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation.
Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the
switch
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the
switch.

DIN Rail Mounting

Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the
switch.
Installation: Place the switch on the DIN rail from above using
the slot. Push the front of the switch toward the mounting
surface until it audibly snaps into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the switch
from the DIN rail.

Connecting to Power
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs
There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up
this device. You only need to have one power input connected
to run the switch.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal block on the
switch, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.
Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the switch.

Alarms for Power and Port Link Failure

Step 1: There are three pins on the terminal block are used for power failure
detection. It fully supports normal open and normal close. Use this
as a dry contact application to send a signal for power failure
detection.

Cabling
Step 1:
<Note>

First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices are turned off.
Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.

Step 2:

Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port

in use.

Step 3:

Consult the previous section for cabling requirements based on

connectors and speed.

Step 4:

Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a
desired device.

Step 5:

Once the connections between two end devices are made

successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.
