1. Overview
Antaira Technologies’ LNX-1204G-SFP industrial gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switch series is
IP30 rated and DIN-Rail mountable. Each unit is designed with eight gigabit Ethernet ports and
four dual rate (100/1000) SFP slots, making it ideal for applications that demand high bandwidth
port expansion and long distance communication.
This product series provides high EFT and ESD protection to prevent any unregulated voltage
and is suitable for harsh environments. It supports the power redundancy feature using a dual
power input design with reverse polarity protection. In addition, the built-in relay warning function
alerts maintainers when power failures occur.
The LNX-1204G-SFP series includes two models: one with standard operating temperature range
of -10 to 70°C, and the other one with an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C. It
is a perfectly designed product to fulfill any special needs for industrial automation, outdoor
applications and harsh weather environments.

2.4 LED Indicators
There are LED light indicators located on the front panel of the industrial Ethernet switch that
display the power status and network status. Each LED indicator has a different color and has
its own specific meaning, see below in Table 2.1.
2.5 Ethernet Ports
 RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or
1000Base-T devices connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another
switch or workstation without changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures
shown below for straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.

All ports on this industrial Ethernet switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation. Users can
use straight-through cables (see figure below) for all network connections to PCs, servers, other
switches or hubs. With straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are
connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable. The table below
(Table 2.3) shows the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.
The following figures show the cabling schematics for straight-through and crossover.

2.6 Cabling
Use the four twisted-pair, category 5e, or the above cabling for RJ-45 port connections. The cable
between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100
meters (328 ft.) long.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical
communications for both telecommunication and data communication applications.
To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow the steps below:
First, insert the SFP transceiver module into the SFP slot as shown below in Figure 2.9. Notice
that the triangle mark is at the bottom of the SFP slot. Figure 2.10 shows SFP transceiver
module was inserted.
Figure 2.9

Second, insert the fiber cable of the LC connector into the transceiver as shown below in Figure
2.11.
To remove the LC connector from the transceiver, please follow the steps shown below:
1. Press the upper side of the LC connector from the transceiver and pull it out to release as
shown below in Figure 2.12.
2. Push down the metal clasp and pull the transceiver out by the plastic part as shown below in
Figure 2.13.

2.7 Wiring the Power Inputs
Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the PWR1 (V1+, V1-) and PWR2 (V2+, V2-)
contacts on the terminal block connector as shown below in Figure 2.14.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening, as shown below in Figure
2.15.
Note  Only use copper conductors, 60/75°C, tighten to 5 lbs.
 The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 18~20 AWG.

2.8 Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault alarm contact is in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below
in Figure 2.16. By inserting the wires, it will detect the fault status including power failure or port
link failure (managed industrial switch only) and form a normally open circuit. An application
example for the fault alarm contact is shown below in Figure 2.16.
Note  The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 12 ~ 24 AWG.
 If only using one power source, jumper Pin 1 to Pin 5 and Pin 2 to Pin 6 to
eliminate power fault alarm.
