EIDX_MP Series
A Line of Managed PoE PSE Ethernet Switching Hubs
INSTALLATION GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The EIDX_MP Series of managed Industrial Ethernet switches provides the user
with a sophisticated instrument with several advanced features for the
discriminating network professional. Each of the 8 models in the series operates
in extended temperatures while offering a choice of mounting, port count, media
support and 8 Power-Over-Ethernet ports (PoE).
To optimise speed and throughput, some functions are automatically negotiated:
Each twisted-pair port automatically optimises its data rate to 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps. The data rate of fibre ports is fixed at 100 Mbps.
Each port negotiates flow control — supporting the PAUSE function for full-
duplex links, and using the backpressure scheme for half-duplex segments.
All units offer non-blocking wire-speed operation with a maximum data rate of
148,810 frames per second for 100 Mbps Ethernet on all ports at full duplex.
Copper ports are wired MDI-X (internal crossover) for attaching NICs via straight-
through cables.
All units support SNMP and offer these advanced features:
RapidRing™ high-speed redundancy (link loss recovery under 300 ms)
VLANs to limit broadcast/multicast domains and improve performance
Trunking to allow high-bandwidth redundant backbones
QoS message priority for either port-based or MAC-based priority
Programmable fault relay to indicate the loss or addition of a link
Auto-MDIX for all copper ports enabled/disabled by software control
All units operate from low-voltage DC sources — and redundant power
connections are available for backup considerations. They come with the ability
for either DIN rail or panel mounting. The front panel features LED indicators
for power and CPU status — and link status, activity and data rate of each port.

INSTALLATION
Mounting
The EIDX is designed for mounting in an industrial enclosure or wiring closet
using either set of the provided mounting hardware listed below:
TS-35 DIN Rail Mounting Panel Mounting
DIN rail clip
Panel mounting bracket
M3x5 screws, flat-head (4) M3x5 screws, flat-head (4)
For quick snap-mounting to 35 mm DIN rail, a reinforced DIN rail clip is pre-
attached to the back of the EIDX enclosure with four M3x5 flat-head screws. If
the clip is removed, the EIDX can be panel-mounted by extending the top and
bottom brackets which are shipped in retracted position. The extended brackets
can then anchor the EIDX to a wall or other flat vertical surface with two #8
pan-head screws (not provided). The left illustration of Figure 3 shows a rear
view of the EIDX with brackets in retracted position. The right illustration of
Figure 3 shows the brackets extended and secured to the EIDX enclosure with
the same screws used in retracted position.

Table 1 — Cabling Considerations
Observe in Table 1 that segment distance is very limited when using copper
media — regardless of data rate. Although 10BASE-T links can successfully
use Category 3, 4 or 5 cable — 100BASE-TX segments must use Category 5.
A popular choice for improved distance is multimode fibre — which also gives
good electromagnetic noise immunity and optimum protection from lightning
strikes. Considerable distance can be achieved in full-duplex mode — and the
greatest distance can be realized in full-duplex mode with single-mode fibre.
Note that half-duplex operation yields a modest, fixed distance which does not
vary with the type of fibre in use. This is because half-duplex mode is limited
by the collision domain — irrespective of the length and type of fibre.
EIDX switches offer three types of field connectors. Copper ports accept RJ-45
modular plugs. Two choices of fibre connectors are available: ST and SC.

Powering
The EIDX requires low-voltage DC power via a four-pin removable keyed
connector. Power conductors can be stranded (16–18 AWG) or solid (16–22
AWG). Consult the Specifications section for power requirements. The various
power options are explained below.
NOTE: This device is intended for use with Class 2 circuits.
DC Powered
The EIDX accepts a voltage of 48 VDC ±10% and draws current commensurate
with power consumption. Power conductors should be sized accordingly. COM
and the equipment chassis are isolated from zero volts. The input connections are
reverse-polarity protected.
Figure 4 — DC Powered Figure 5 — Redundant DC Powered
Redundant DC Powered
Redundant diode-isolated DC power inputs are provided so the EIDX can operate
despite the loss of primary power. Both sources must provide required power.
LED Indicators
Power — This LED glows green when proper power is applied to the EIDX.
Status — This bicolour LED will be green in an operational state and red in a
fault state. The green LED blinks periodically to indicate the management CPU
is fully operational.
Port — Each port has an associated bicolour LED which glows green when a
valid Ethernet link has been established at 100 Mbps but yellow if the data rate
is 10 Mbps. The LED flashes when data transfer is occurring.
PoE Power — This LED glows green when PoE power is being delivered to a
powered device (PD).
48V — This LED glows green when 48 VDC is present for the PoE ports.
Fault — This LED glows red to indicate an error condition on the PoE ports.

Port Locations
Ports 1–8 are accessed on the front panel. Other ports
are located on the bottom of the enclosure — and
for 24-port models, also on the top surface.
On all models, PoE is provided on ports 9–16
which are on the bottom of the unit.
An example of port arrangement on the top and
bottom of the enclosure is shown in Figure 6
which locates a few of the ports on the model
EIDX24MP-100T/FC.
Fault Relay
This relay is disabled by default. Its operation is
explained in the Software Manual. Its contact is
normally closed and rated at 500 mA, 24 V (max).
Figure 6 — Port Locations
Console Port
The Console Port uses the standard RS-232 protocol for
configuring the switch. For proper communication :
Set the Baud rate to 9600.
Set the Data bits to 8.
Set the Parity to None.
Set the Stop bits to 1.
Set the Flow control to None.
