QUICK START GUIDE
RLGE2FE16R
Substation-Rated, Enhanced Security Scada-Aware Ethernet
Layer 2 Managed Switch/Layer 3 Router With Optional 2G/3G
& 4G LTE Cellular Radio Link, Enhanced Network Security,
Terminal Server, PoE+, and 100FX SFP Ports
ComNet product series RLGE2FE16R are substation-rated and industrially hardened
layer 2 managed switches/layer 3 routers, with a unique and highly robust
packet processing SCADA-aware security firewall for the most mission-critical and
demanding cyber-security applications. The RLGE2FE16R is intended for deployment
in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and interference (EMI)
and severe voltage transients and surges are routinely encountered, such as electrical
utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, track-side electronic
equipment, and other difficult out-of-plant installations. Layer 3 routing functionality
allows for the participation and foundation of a core network infrastructure.
The RLGE2FE16R is an ideal platform for deploying a secure communications and
networking gateway for remote electrical utility sites, and other critical infrastructure
applications.

Logical Structure
Distance kept for natural air flow
Proper installation depends on natural air flow for cooling. You must maintain a 10cm distance
above and below the ComNet switch for proper air flow.
Grounding
To install the grounding wire:
»Prepare a minimum 10 American Wire Gauge (AWG) grounding wire terminated by a crimped
two-hole lug. Use a suitable crimping tool to fasten the lug securely to the wire. Adhere to your
company’s policy as to the wire gauge and the number of crimps on the lug.
»Apply some anti-oxidant onto the metal surface.
»Mount the lug on the grounding posts, replace the spring-washers and fasten the bolts. Avoid
using excessive torque.
CAUTION – Do not remove the earth connection unless all power supply connections are
disconnected.
DANGER – Before connecting power to the platform, make sure that the grounding posts are
firmly connected to a reliable ground, as described below.
Connecting to a Power Source
CAUTION – Please refer to the RLGE2FE16R installation guide for complete installation
instructions.
Wiring DC Input voltage feed
Input voltage can be either AC or DC depending on the specific module you purchased. Please

QSG_RLGE2FE16R_REV– 3 Aug 2016 PAGE 8
QUICK START GUIDE RLGE2FE16R
TECH SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
take care to notice the label on the back of the module.
For the DC version there are 2 connection inputs, marked as “PWR A” and “PWR B”. For proper
operation it is only necessary to connect one power source, either to “PWR A” or to “PWR B”.
However, for redundancy purposes you may connect 2 different power sources one at “PWR A”
and the second to “PWR B”.
For wiring the voltage an opposite plug connector (2 pcs) is supplied.
Wiring AC Input voltage connector
For an AC product variant there is a single input connector.
Use a Brown wire for the Line (Phase) conductor, a Green/Yellow for the grounding and a Blue wire
for the Neutral conductor. Use 18AWG (1mm2) wire, with insulated ferrules.

interfaces.
Unit Power feed Max Power [Watt] Version without POE ports Max Power [Watt] Version with POE ports
12 VDC 18.5 80
24 VDC 18.5 100

Configuration Environment
Two CLI based configuration environments are available for the user, these are:
»Global Configuration Environment (GCE)
»Application Configuration Environment (ACE)
These two environments are complementing each other and allowing each a set of supported
interfaces, network tools and management. At the RLGE2FE16R infrastructure, the GCE and ACE
are representing two different software processing areas. The physical and logical communication
between these areas are done by internal switching /routing using the Ethernet gigabit ports Gi
0/3 and Gi 0/4. These are known as the ACE ports.
For additional information about the ACE ports see chapter ACE ports.
