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.

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.

4. Hardware Installation
4.1 Installation Steps
This section will explain how to install Antaira Technologies’ LNX-C500 (T): 5-port compact
industrial compact unmanaged Ethernet switch with 5*10/100Tx ports.
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 it is required 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.
For the 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 the 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.

5. Trouble Shooting
Always verify the right power cord or adapter is being used. Never use a power supply or
adapter with a 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 10/100Mbps. 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.
oPlease 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.
oPlease 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.
