harmful interference to radio communications if the equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
CE Mark Warning

1. Overview
Antaira Technologies’ LNX-C500 series is a compact 5-port industrial Ethernet switch. The
small form factor of this metal IP30 rated industrial switch is 30% smaller allowing for a more
versatile implementation. The LNX-C500 is equipped with 5*10/100 RJ45 Ethernet ports with a
backplane speed of 1gbps and is designed for industrial network expansion applications with
tight spaces.
The LNX-C500 supports high EFT & ESD protection to prevent damage from unregulated power
coming into the unit. This compact media converter also supports redundant power inputs with
reverse polarity and overload current protection. The LNX-C500 product series supports DIN-rail
as well as wall mountable orientations and provides operating temperature range models in
STD: -10°C to 70°C and EOT: -40°C to 75°C. This is an industrial grade unit applicable for
networking applications in factory automation, ITS, power/utility, water wastewater treatment
plants, and any other application that needs a compact solution.

2.5 Ethernet Ports
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 ports (LAN 1~5) are auto-sensing for 10/100Base-T,
or 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 shown below for straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.

All ports on this industrial Ethernet switch support automatic MDI operations. Users can use
straight-through cables (see figure below) for all network connections to PCs, servers, and 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 port pin outs.
The following figures show the cabling schematics for straight-through and crossover cables.
2.6 Cabling
Twisted-pair segments can be connected with an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard
(e.g. Category 5, 5e, or 6). The cable between the equipment and the link partner (switch,
hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Note: Cable size should be between 18~20 AWG and the torque should be tightened to 5lbs.
