QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
2000641 Rev A | Release Date - November 2017

INTRODUCTION
The RocketLinx MP1204-XT is twelve port managed industrial switch that
provides:
• Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE (802.3af/at) ports
• Four 100/1000 SFP ports
The MP1204-XT provides features needed for network control in an industrial
network environment. See the Comtrol website (www.comtrol.com) for
detailed product specicaons and the product warranty.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
You can use the following informaon to install the MP1204-XT. If you need
more detailed informaon, you can refer to the RocketLinx MP1204-XT User
Guide on the download site (hp://downloads.comtrol.com), which contains
detailed installaon and conguraon informaon.
Connect the Power Terminal Block
The MP1204-XT provides redundant
power inputs (PWR 1/2), which
supports reverse polarity protecon,
and accepts a posive or negave
powersource (12V – 57V). However,
PWR1 and PWR2 must apply to the
same mode.
Note: Power should be disconnected
from the power supply before
connecng it to the switch.
Otherwise, your screwdriver blade
can inadvertently short your
terminal connecons to the grounded enclosure.
1. Insert the posive and negave wires into PWR+ and PWR- contacts. You
can connect a single power supply or both power supplies depending on
your requirements.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from coming loose.

ALARM RELAY AND GROUND
The alarm relay output contacts are in the middle of the DC terminal block
connector as shown in the gure below.
The alarm relay output is “Normal Open”, and it will be closed when detected
any predened failure such as power failures or Ethernet link failures.
The relay contacts have current carrying capacity of 0.5A @ 24 VDC.
ETHERNET INTERFACE
The switch provides two types of Ethernet interfaces: electrical (RJ45) and
opcal (SFP) interfaces.

Connecng RJ45 Cables
To connect the MP1204-XT to a PC, use straight-through or cross-over CAT 5
or higher Ethernet cables. To connect the MP1204-XT to an Ethernet device,
use UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) CAT 5 or
higher Ethernet cables.
The pin assignment of RJ45 connector is shown in the following gure and table.
Pin Assignment PoE Assignment
1,2 TxRx+ and TxRx- Posive Vport
3,6 TxRx+ and TxRx- Negave Vport
4,5 TxRx+ and TxRx- N/A
7,8 TxRx+ and TxRx- N/A
Connecng SFPs
The SFP accepts LC connector
ber transceivers and supports
both 100/1000 Mbps ber speed
connecons.
Comtrol recommends using Comtrol-approved SFP mini GBIC transceivers.
Note: Never aempt to view opcal connectors that might be eming laser
energy.
Do not power up the laser product without connecng the laser to the opcal
ber and pung the dust cover in posion, as laser outputs will emit infrared
laser light at this point.
Cross-connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at the
opposite end as illustrated in the gure.
Aenon
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare into the Laser/LED beam.

DIN RAIL MOUNTING
Use the following procedure to
mount the MP1204-XT on a DIN rail:
1. Screw the DIN clip with screws in
the accessory kit.
2. Hook the unit onto the DIN rail.
3. Push the boom of the unit
towards the DIN rail unl it locks
in place.
WALL MOUNTING
Use the following procedure to
mount the MP1204-XT on a wall or
panel:
1. Screw the wall-mount brackets
with screws in the accessory kit.
2. Mount it to a wall or panel.
CONSOLE CONNECTION
The Console port supports local management by using a terminal emulator
or a computer with terminal emulaon soware, such as puTTY. The console
port is located below the power connector.
• Baud rate: 115200bps
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bit:1
• Parity: None
• Flow control: None
Connect the RJ45 (male) connector to the MP1204-XT console port and
connect the RS-232 DB9 (female) connector cable to a COM serial port.
CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS
You can use the console port or a telnet connecon to congure the IP
address
