Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

CE
This product has passed the CE test for environmental specifications. Test
conditions for passing included the equipment being operated within an
industrial enclosure. In order to protect the product from being damaged
by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly recom-
mend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclosure products.
FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence 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 own
expense.

Step 2. Contact your distributor, sales representative, or Advantech's cus-
tomer service center for technical support if you need additional
assistance. Please have the following information ready before
you call:
- Product name and serial number
- Description of your peripheral attachments
- Description of your software (operating system, version, appli-
cation software, etc.)
- A complete description of the problem
- The exact wording of any error messages

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Features
The EDG-6528 is an industrial-grade Ethernet switch for fast and cost-
effective expansion of industrial Ethernet networks. The EDG-6528 has
eight 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports to connect up to eight Ethernet devices.
Moreover, EDG-6528 has industrial-grade design that assures high reli-
ability and stability. Therefore, EDG-6528 is an excellent solution for
industrial environments with Ethernet networking, such as: semi-conduc-
tor factories, inventory control environments, assembly lines and produc-
tion facilities.
High-Speed Transmission
The EDG-6528 includes a switch controller that can automatically sense
transmission speeds. (10/100 Mbps) The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-
detected, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically selected and a crossover
cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that support
the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that data is properly
transmitted.
Dual Power Inputs (does not include EDG-6528L)
To reduce the risk of power failure, the EDG-6528 provides dual power
inputs. If there is a power failure, EDG-6528 will automatically switch to
the secondary power input.
Flexible Mounting
EDG-6528 is extremely compact and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or a
panel, so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.
Advanced Protection for Power line and Ethernet Port
The power line of EDG-6528 supports up to 3000 VDC surge protection,
which secure equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems
safer and more reliable. Meanwhile, 4000 V DC ESD protection for
Ethernet ports (not including EDG-6528L) make EDG-6528 more suit-
able for harsh environments.

3 Chapter1
Wide Operating Temperature Range
The operating temperature of the EDG-6528 is between 0 and 70° C, and
the EDG-6528I can operate between -40 and 85° C. With such a wide
range you can use the EDG-6528 in some of the harshest industrial envi-
ronments that exist.
Easy to Trouble-Shoot
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each port has
LEDs that display the link status, power failure, and port activity for
immediate on-site diagnosis. (See 2.1)
