
1 Overview
Antaira Technologies’ LNX-C800 series is a compact 8-port industrial unmanaged Ethernet switch
embedded with 8*10/100Tx Ethernet ports. The small form factor of this metal IP30 rated industrial
switch is 30% smaller allowing for a more versatile implementation. The industrial-grade design and
compact size of the LNX-C800 series make this the ideal unit for integration into projects or other
applications that need a small footprint. This product series supports DIN-Rail as well as wall mountable
orientations. There are also two wide operating temperature models for either a standard temperature
range (STD: -10°C to 65°C) or an extended temperature range (EOT: -40°C to 75°C).

2.6 Cabling
Use the four twisted-pair, category 5e, or the above cabling for the RJ45 port connections. The cable
between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328
ft.) in length.
2.7 Wiring the Power Inputs
Caution: Please follow the steps below when inserting the power wire.
Attention: Veuillez suivre les étapes ci-dessous lors de l'insertion du câble d'alimentation.

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 2.4.
Figure 2.4 - Power Terminal Block

4 Hardware Installation
4.1 Installation Steps
This section will explain how to install the industrial Ethernet switch:
Caution: This device is intended for indoor use.
Attention: Cet appareil est destiné à une utilisation en intérieur.

Caution: The device is intended to be installed in an industrial control enclosure and panel.
Attention: L'appareil est destiné à être installé dans une armoire de commande et un panneau
industriels.

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 RJ45 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.
12

Antaira Technologies - Industrial Ethernet Switches
LNX-C800 Series - Hardware Manual - v2.0

●The Ethernet port’s (RJ45) 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.
4.2 Maintenance and Service
●If the device requires servicing of any kind, the user is required to disconnect and remove it from
its mounting. The initial installation should be done in a way that makes this as convenient as
possible.
●Voltage / Power lines should be properly insulated as well as other cables. Be careful when
handling them so as to not trip over.
●Do not under any circumstance insert foreign objects of any kind into the heat dissipation
holes located in the different faces of the device. This may not only harm the internal layout,
but might cause harm to users as well.
●Do not under any circumstance open the device for any reason. Please contact your dealer
for any repair needed or follow the instructions within the manual.
●Clean the device with dry soft cloth.
4.3 Troubleshooting
●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 RJ45 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 identify if any problems exist.
○Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.

Antaira Technologies - Industrial Ethernet Switches
LNX-C800 Series - Hardware Manual - v2.0

●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.
