Introduction
Antaira’s LNX-500AG is a smart 5-Port Industrial Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch
supporting 5-Port 10/100/1000Tx that can automatically sense transmission speeds of
10/100/1000 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.
The LNX-500AG switch support 12~48VDC dual power inputs, and also offers an
extended operating temperature model (w/-T) that can withstand -40°C ~ 75°C. It
supports IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3x/802.3ab with 10/100/1000BTx for full or half duplex
data transmission. Meanwhile, it supports advanced protection with up to 3,000 VDC
EFT protection and 6,000 VDC ESD protections for Ethernet ports which makes the
Industrial switch more suitable for harsh environments.
In addition, the built-in Network Broadcast Storm Protection and built-in relay warning
function will alert network engineers whenever there is a power failure or port break.

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 straight
through or crossover cabling. See the figures below for a straight through and
crossover cable schematic.
 RJ-45 Pin Assignments
Pin Number Assignment
1 Rx+
2 Rx-
3 Tx+
6 Tx-
Note “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.

6
All ports on this Industrial switch support the automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, and users
can use straight-through cables (See figure below) for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to 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 shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX
MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.
Pin MDI-X Signal Name MDI Signal Name
1 Receive Data plus (RD+) Transmit Data plus (TD+)
2 Receive Data minus (RD-) Transmit Data minus (TD-)
3 Transmit Data plus (TD+) Receive Data plus (RD+)
6 Transmit Data minus (TD-) Receive Data minus (RD-)
The following figures show the cable schematic for both straight-through type and
crossover type.

The following figure shows the 10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ-45 pin outs.
Cabling
 Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections, 100Ω Category 5
cable for 100Mbps, or 100Ω Category 5e/above cable for 1000Mbps connections.

The cable between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.)
must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.

8
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.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening.
Note

Use Copper Conductors Only, 60/75°C, Tighten to 5 lb in
 The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 18~20
AWG
.

9
Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault alarm contact is in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture
shows below. 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 as below:
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.

10
Mounting Installation
DIN-Rail Mounting
The DIN-Rail is screwed on the Industrial switch from the factory. If the DIN-Rail is not
screwed on the Industrial switch, please see the following pictures to screw the DIN-Rail
on the switch. Follow the steps below to hang the Industrial switch.
1. Use the screws to screw the DIN-Rail bracket on the rear side of the Industrial
switch.
2. To remove the DIN-Rail bracket, reverse the step 1.

11
3. After the DIN-Rail bracket is screwed on the rear side of the switch, insert the top of
DIN-Rail on to the track.
4. Then, lightly pull down the bracket on to the rail.
5. Check if the bracket is mounted tight on the rail.
6. To remove the industrial switch from the rail, reverse steps above.

12
Wall Mounting
Follow the steps below to mount the Industrial switch using the wall mount bracket.
1. Remove the DIN-Rail bracket from the industrial switch; loosen the screws to remove
the DIN-Rail.
2. Place the wall mount bracket on the top and bottom of the Industrial switch.
3. Use the screws to screw the wall mount bracket on the Industrial switch.
4. Use the hook holes at the corners of the wall mount bracket to hang the Industrial
switch on the wall.
5. To remove the wall mount bracket, reverse steps above.

13
Hardware Installation
This section is to explain how to install the LNX-500AG – 5-Port Industrial Gigabit
Unmanaged Ethernet Switch.
Installation Steps
1. Unpack the Industrial switch packing.
2. Check if the DIN-Rail bracket is screwed on the Industrial switch. If the DIN-Rail is
not screwed on the Industrial switch, please refer to the DIN-Rail Mounting section
for DIN-Rail installation. If users want to wall mount the Industrial switch, then
please refer to the Wall Mounting section for wall mount installation.
3. To hang the Industrial switch on a DIN-Rail or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
4. Power on the Industrial switch. Please refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs section
for information about how to wire power. The power LED on the Industrial switch will
turn on. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for indication of LED lights.
5. Prepare the twisted-pair, straight through Category 5/above cable for Ethernet
connection.
6. Insert one side of the RJ-45 cable into the Industrial switch Ethernet port and on the
other side to the network device’s Ethernet port, e.g. Switch, PC or Server. The
Ethernet port (RJ-45) LED on the Industrial switch will turn on when the cable is
connected to the network 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.

Network Application
This segment provides an example of an Industrial switch application.

15
Troubleshooting
 Verify the right power cord/adapter, never use power supply/adapter with non-
compliant DC output voltage, or it will burn the equipment.
 Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct the network with using the right cable.
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100Ω Category 5e/above cable 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 through LED indicators, which describe common problems a user
may encounter and where the user can find possible solutions.
 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 or Antaira’s
authorized channel partners for technical support service, if the problem still cannot
be resolved.
 If the Industrial switch’s 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.
