Section 1 General Information
Overview
This manual will help you install and maintain the Amphenol Military Ethernet
Managed switches. These products are extremely easy to install and operate because little
or no user configuration is required. Once the Ethernet connections are made and the unit
is powered up it will immediately begin to operate.
Operation
Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages out all ports, these witches will
intelligently route Ethernet messages only out the appropriate port. The major benefits of
this are increased bandwidth and speed, reduction or elimination of message collisions,
and deterministic performance when tied with Managed systems.
The 8MF1 switches support both 10BaseT (10 Mbps) and 100BaseTx (100 Mbps) on their
RJ45 ports.
Each of these ports will independently auto-sense the speed, allowing you to interface to
regular or fast Ethernet devices.
Refer to Section 6 for more information on operation and features.

Section 2 Installation
Overview
All switches share the same footprint and can be mounted directly to a flat surface or to a
wall. Refer to the mechanical drawing below. Its high protected enclosure makes it able to
withstand water jets (IP65 rating) but also immersion until 2m depth (IP68 rating).
The Ethernet connections for all models come out from rugged MIL-DTL-38999 III
connectors from RJField range (see www.rjfield.com). Make sure to allow enough room to
route your Ethernet cables.

Section 3 Power Wiring
Overview
These switches can be powered from the same DC or AC source that is used to power your
I/O devices. Refer to the wiring diagram hereafter for correct voltage powering.
GND screw should be tied to panel or chassis ground.
Plugs and
backshells
The switches should be powered using mating plugs and backshells compliant with MIL-
DTL-38999 series III. We suggest using hereunder accessories. Another backshell can be
used but it must ensure a correct sealing protection.

Backshells
We suggest using TVNSA backshells with corresponding heat shrinks. See previous page
for part numbers.
These backshells, providing an electrical continuity between cable and connector, ensure a
high level or of EMI/RFI protection. The sealing is ensured by straight heat shrink molded
piece at the rear of the backshell. NSA and SA backshells ensure the shielding by clamping
the braid with a screwing system. The free inner ring avoids twisting of the braid during
screwing.
Heat-shrinks are molded pieces for harsh environment, fluid resistant (with preinstalled
adhesive).

Section 4 Ethernet Wiring
Overview
These switches provide connections to Ethernet devices on the battlefield. Typically a port
is used to connect to another Ethernet switch or hub that is connected to the main Ethernet
backbone. The other Ethernet ports are then connected to Ethernet devices such as
communication systems, Ethernet I/O, or industrial computers. Electrical isolation is
provided on the Ethernet ports for increased reliability.
P lease follow normal Ethernet wiring practices when installing these switches.
RJ45 Wiring
Guidelines
Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5 (or better) with
standard RJ45 connectors. You can use all standard existing RJ45 Cat5e cordset and
transform it into an environmental connector, without any cabling operation, and without
any tool!
Please note that these cables are available as straight-thru or cross-over configurations.
Either type can be used because these switches support auto-mdi/mdix-crossover. For
reference, the pin-outs of the two cable types are listed below.

Note: Hubs and switches are different devices. Hubs simply broadcast all messages
out all ports. switches intelligently route messages only out the appropriate port.

are pre-equipped with caps on all ports, including power and Ethernet.
The models without –CAPS termination (example: RJS-ML-8MF1) do not have caps
on ports. The required number of caps may be ordered separately as accessories.
Assembly of the
cap
Part number of the caps as accessories:
RJSML C 7 G (with Olive drab Cadmium plating)
RJSML C 7 N (with Nickel plating)
The cap can be screwed directly on the receptacle.
Note: The screw is supplied with the cap.
Tool: Use a flat screw-driver to assemble the cap onto
the switch.
Suggested dimensions for the screwdriver:
•Thickness: E = 0.8 mm
•Width: A = 5mm +/- 1mm

Section 5 Switching Features
Switching
Features
Here’s a brief explanation of some of the features found in these switches documented by
this manual.
10BaseT or 100BaseTx Auto-detection
Standard Ethernet (10BaseT) has a maximum speed of 10 Mbps in half duplex mode. Fast
Ethernet (100BaseTx) has a maximum speed of 200 Mbps in full duplex mode. The RJ45
ports on these switches automatically select the appropriate speed.
Auto-crossover (auto-mdi/mdi-x)
The RJ45 ports will automatically detect the cable type (straight-thru vs. cross-wired) and
re-configure themselves accordingly.
Auto-polarity
The RJ45 ports will automatically correct for reversed polarity on the TD and RD pair.
Auto-sensing or auto-negotiating speed
The RJ45 ports of these switches will auto-negotiate with the connected device to
determine the optimal speed (10 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps).
Flow control
These switches automatically support flow control frames on both transmit and receive
sides. Back-pressure flow control for half-duplex ports and pause-frame flow control for
full-duplex ports.
Forwarding
These switches support store and forward mode. They will forward messages with known
addresses out only the appropriate port. Messages with unknown addresses, broadcast
messages, and multicast messages will get forwarded out all ports except the source port.
Full / Half duplex operation
The RJ45 ports of these switches support both full and half duplex flow control.
IEEE 802.3 compliant
The Amphenol Military Ethernet Switch strictly abides to the IEEE 802.3 standard for
10BaseT and 100BaseTX Ethernet communications.
Plug and play
This means that most functions or features of these switches are automatic and that there
are minimal or no optional parameters that need to be set. Just plug in your Ethernet
cables, apply power, and the unit will immediately begin to operate.
Protocol independent
These switches will work with all popular Ethernet protocols and networks such as
TCP/IP, the Internet (IP), UDP, NetBEUI, and many more. It is compatible with all
protocols that run over standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3). In fact, it will support packets of
different protocols simultaneously.
Reverse polarity protection
The standard models (except –PSM) are protected against voltage polarity inversion.
Managed operation
These switches require no supervisory processor to operate properly.
