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.

Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
ADAM-6520 modules are a 5-port industrial-grade 10/100 Mbps Ether-
net switch for fast and cost-efficient network expansion. They connect up
to 5 workstations and auto-detect both 10 and 100 Mbps network speeds.
Moreover, ADAM-6520 modules support auto crossover to provide a
flexible networking environment, connecting to the network via any port.
ADAM-6520 modules provide three methods for mounting in an indus-
trial environment: DIN rail, wall/panel, or piggyback stacking. ADAM-
6520 modules have a flexible input voltage range of +10~30 VDC at the
terminal block. ADAM-6520 operates from -10~70° C and ADAM-
6520L from 0~60° C, while ADAM-6520I is from -40 to 85°C. The
above features make ADAM-6520 modules more stable and reliable than
normal Ethernet switches. Thus, ADAM-6520 modules are especially
suitable for industrial environments with Ethernet networking like: semi-
conductor factories, warehouses, conveyer belt systems and more.
1.1.1 High-Speed Transmission
ADAM-6520 modules include a switch controller that automatically
senses transmission speeds (10/100 Mbps). RJ-45 interface also supports
auto-detection, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically selected and a cross-
over cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that
support the store-and-forward mechanism, assuring that data is properly
transmitted.
1.1.2 Flexible Mounting
Due to its versatility and innovative design, ADAM-6520 modules can be
fixed in three ways: DIN rail, panel and piggyback mounting.
1.1.3 Protection for Power Line & Ethernet Port
The power line of ADAM-6520 modules support supports up to 3000
VDC surge protection, which secure equipment against unregulated volt-
age and make systems safer and more reliable. Meanwhile, 4000 VDC
ESD protection for the Ethernet ports makes ADAM-6520 modules (not
including ADAM-6520L) more suitable for harsh environments.

3 Chapter1
1.1.4 Wide Operating Temperature Range
The operating temperature of ADAM-6520 is from -10~70° C, and
ADAM-6520L is from 0~60° C, while ADAM-6520I offers a very wide
range from -40 to 85° C. With such wide ranges you can use ADAM-
6520 modules in some of the harshest industrial environments that exist.
1.1.5 Easy Troubleshooting
There are six LED indicators supplied to aid troubleshooting for ADAM-
6520 modules. Each port has a pair of LEDs to indicate link status and
port activity. That makes it easy to indicate link status, power failure and
data reception for on-site diagnostics.

• Integrated address Look-Up Engine, supports 1K absolute MAC
addresses (ADAM-6520L: 2K)
