1. Introduction
NS-105 Industrial Switches are DIN-Rail mounting and designed
for industrial environments. Their rugged packaging and protected
circuitry keep them working under conditions that may cause office-grade
units to fail.
Industrial Ethernet applications are demanding - This 5-port Fast Ethernet
switch become the basic unit of the whole Ethernet network. It is also the
good companion of our I-7188EX and I-8000 ethernet embedded
controller. The NS-105 comes with multiple ports, each capable of
transmitting or receiving information simultaneously at full wire speed to
control and allocate the network bandwidth. Besides that, the NS-105
Industrial Ethernet Switch automatically determines and remembers
where an Ethernet device is located and routes the messages only through
the appropriate port. This minimizes network loading and enables true
deterministic communications over Ethernet

The key features of this switch unit are:
zOptimized Bandwidth : Combining five 10/100Mbps-based Fast
Ethernet switched ports, the switch delivers a high network
bandwidth for your Fast Ethernet network
zEasy Migration : With 10BASE-T support on each port, the switch

provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet
to a Fast Ethernet network.
zEasy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and
auto-negotiation on each port, the switch supports plug-and-play
installation which eliminates configuration problems.

2.2 Checking Power
Since NS-105 consume 10 W power, make sure your power
supply can meet this demand.
Input DC voltage range: 10~30V
The screw terminal of the DC power input is located on the front of the

3. Making Network Connections
3.1 Network Switched Ports
There are five ports on the switch for connection to five LAN segments.
Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain.

zFive 10/100BASE-TX switched ports
Each port consists of one RJ-45 connector and is used for connection
to either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX device. The RJ-45 connectors
are fixed MDI-X jacks, which are designed with internal crossover
function. It allows a connection to an end station using
straight-through UTP cable.
zMDI Jack support for Port 5
One additional push button is provided for Port 5 to switch MDI-X or
MDI. It is useful when using Port 5 as an uplink port and using
straight-through UTP cable for the connection to any device.

3.2 UTP Cable
When making a connection to another device using straight-through UTP
cable, make sure MDI-X to MDI connection rule is followed. The
following figure illustrates the pin assignments of a straight-through UTP
and a crossover UTP cable :

It is suggested to use straight-through UTP cables for all UTP
connections. The maximum length and UTP cable categories used for the
connections to a 10BASE-T device and 100BASE-TX device are :
CONNECTED DEVICE UTP CABLE USED & MAXIMUM LENGTH
10BASE-T device Cat. 3,4,5 UTP(100meters)
100BASE-TX device Cat. 5 UTP(100meters)
