Chapter 2: Installation Wiring the Power Inputs The 6-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch is used for two DC redundant power inputs. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wires. 1. Insert the positive and negative DC power wires into the contacts 1 and 2 for POWER 1, or 5 and 6 for POWER 2.
Chapter 2: Installation Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact The fault alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. After inserting the wires, the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch will detect the fault status of a power failure, or port link failure (available for managed model) and then forms an open circuit.

NOTE: In the installation steps below, this Manual uses the GE-DSGH-8 (GE Security’s 8- Port Industrial Gigabit Switch) as an example. The steps for the GE Security Industrial Switch & Industrial Media Converter are the same. Industrial DIN-Rail Mounting The DIN-Rail is screwed on to the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch when shipped from the factory.
Page 15
Chapter 2: Installation 3. Check the DIN-Rail is tightly on the track. 4. Please refer to following procedures to remove the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch from the track. 5. Lightly press the button of DIN-Rail to remove it from the track. MC-4TX1FXSM-2Km/15Km MC-4TX2FX User Manual firealarmresources.com...

Chapter 2: Installation Wall Plate Mounting To install the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch on the wall, please do the following: 1. Remove the DIN-Rail from the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch; loosen the screws to remove the DIN-Rail. 2. Place the wall mount plate on the rear panel of the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch.
Chapter 3 Application In this section, we describe how to install the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch. Serial over Ethernet device MC-4TX1FXSM-2Km/15Km MC-4TX2FX User Manual firealarmresources.com...
Chapter 3: Application Serial Device Server Warehouse ICA-310 Installation Steps 1. Unpack the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch. 2. Check that the DIN-Rail is screwed onto the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch. (Please refer to DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch.).

Chapter 4 Switch Operation Address Table The Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table is composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in the network, including MAC address, port number, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch.
Chapter 4: Switch Operation from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with this packet comes in, then this packet will be filtered. Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability. Store-and-Forward Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and- Forward Industrial Switch stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The per port LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection of the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch.
