1. Overview
Antaira’s LNX-500Aindustrial unmanaged Ethernet switch series are IP30 rated and DIN-Rail
mountable. Each unit is designed with five 10/100Tx Fast Ethernet ports, which the RJ-45 interface
provides auto detection of MDI or MDI-X, and each port builds with data memory buffers that support
the store-and-forward mechanism.
The LNX-500A 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 or port breaks
occur.
The LNX-500A series includes two models: one with an 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 special needs for industrial automation, outdoor applications and harsh
weather environments.

RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX
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 as 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 MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.

2.6 Cabling
Use the four twisted-pair Category 5e or above cabling for RJ-45 port connection. The cable
between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less
than100meters (328ft.) long.
2.7 Wiring the Power Inputs
Please follow below steps 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 2.6.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening, as shown below in Figure
2.7.
Note
Only use copper conductors,60/75°C,tighten to 5lbs.
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between18~20 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 2.8. By inserting the wires, it will detect the fault status including power failure or port link
failure (managed industrial switch only) and forma normally open circuit. An application example
for the fault alarm contact is shown below in Figure 2.8.
Note
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 12 ~ 24AWG.
If only using one power source, jumper Pin 1 to Pin 5 and Pin 2 to Pin 6 to
eliminate power fault alarm.

4. Hardware Installation
4.1 Installation Steps
This section will explain how to install Antaira’sLNX-500A series:
5-port industrial unmanaged Ethernet
switch with 5*10/100Tx.
Installation Steps
1. Unpack the industrial Ethernet switch from the original packing box.
2. Check if the DIN-Rail bracket is screwed on the industrial Ethernet switch.
If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the industrial Ethernet switch, please refer to the
DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation.
If you want to wall mount the industrial Ethernet switch, please refer to the Wall
Mounting section for wall mounting installation.
3. To hang the industrial Ethernet switch on a DIN-Rail or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
4. Power on the industrial Ethernet switch and then the power LED light will turn on.
If you need help on how to wire power, please refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs
section.
Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
5. Prepare the twisted-pair, straight-through category 5 cable for Ethernet connection.
6. Insert one side of the RJ-45 cable into switch’s Ethernet port and on the other side into the
networking device’s Ethernet port, e.g. switch PC or server. The Ethernet port’s (RJ-45) LED
on the industrial Ethernet switch will turn on when the cable is connected to the networking
device.
Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
7. When all connections are set and the LED lights all show normal, the installation is complete.

6. Trouble Shooting
Verify you have the right power cord or adapter. Never use a power supply or adapter with non-
compliant DC output voltage or it will burn the equipment.
Select the proper UTP or STP cable in order to construct the network. Use an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 5e
for 10M/100Mbps. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed
100 meters (328 feet).
Diagnosing LED Indicators: To assist in identifying problems, the switch can be easily
monitored with the LED indicators which help to identity if any problems exist.
Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
If the power indicator LED does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, the user may
have a problem with the power cord. Check for loose power connections, power losses or
surges at the power outlet.
Please contact Antaira for technical support service, if the problem still cannot be resolved.
If the industrial switch LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct but the
packets still cannot transmit, please check the system’s Ethernet devices’ configuration or
status.
