Remove the PXES4P Series Switch from the shipping container. Be sure to keep the
shipping container should you need to ship the unit at a later date.
In the event there are items missing or damaged contact your supplier. If you need to
return the unit use the original shipping container. Refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting, for
specific return procedures.
2.2 Product Description
The PXES4P family of Switches is loaded with heavy-duty industrial features.
Input power may be AC, or DC at 12V, 24V or –48V, providing a selection for heavy-duty
industrial applications. This model offers the best price / value unit for each user and
installation.
For any user who needs a small chunk of Ethernet connectivity, a 4-port “go
anywhere” PXES4P Switch is a versatile and handy solution, and can provide it in a
convenient compact package.

PXES4P Switches Installation and User Guide (10/06)
The PXES4P as shown above in Fig 2.2c is a hardened unit designed for factory floor and
other industrial applications. The PXES4P models are built with high-grade components
and use special thermal techniques and a rugged metal case for
extended temperature industrial applications. The PXES4P unit
features a sealed metal case that is also used as a heat sink. No air
inflow is required for cooling, so the PXES4P resists dust, dirt,
moisture, smoke and insects, and is above-the-ceiling (plenum) rated.
Choices of models for external AC or internal DC power are available.
Ambient temperature rating is up to –25°C to +60°C for any of the
power input types, AC or DC.

2.3 PXES4P Series, with four (RJ-45) Copper ports
The PXES4P Series chassis house one main PC board. The power supply is an
external AC unit or internal DC via a screw terminal block. The front side of the chassis
has three twisted-pair switched ports and one port is provided on the rear side. All four

PXES4P Switches Installation and User Guide (10/06)
19
ports of the PXES4P Series convenient switch support auto-cross (MDIX), and perform the
auto-cross in the auto-negotiation mode only.
Dual LEDs indicating the operating status of ports are mounted on the top as well
as end for convenience and may be viewed from any direction. There are power (PWR)
indicators for the unit to validate that the unit is turned ON. For each port, there are Link
and Activity (LK/ACT) LEDs indicating traffic that are mounted on the top of the unit as
well as the end. LEDs mounted next to each port indicate (LK/ACT as LA1, LA2, LA3,
LA4), 10/100 (ON for 100Mbps), and full/half duplex (F/H is ON for full duplex).
The DC power plug connector or “jack” is in the right rear of the chassis. The
internal DC input terminal block is also provided on the rear side of the unit.
