2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it
on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
Flexibility and Network Distance Extension Solution
The MC350-4T-2S Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch is equipped with four 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation ports and
two 100/1000X SFP slots. The two SFP slots are compatible with 1000Base-SX / LX or 100Base-FX through SFP (Small
Form Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic transceiver; the two SFP slots allow changing the operation speed mode with its built-in
DIP switch. The fiber optical uplink capability guarantees the throughput to all nodes hooked into the network and the
Gigabit Ethernet distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber cable) up to 10/20/50/70 kilometers
(Single-Mode fiber cable). The Fast Ethernet distance can also be extended from 2km (Multi-Mode fiber cable) up to
20/40/60 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber cable). They are well suited for applications within the factory data centers and
distributions.
Adjustable 6-Port Switch Mode or 4 + 2 Fiber Redundant Mode
Via the built-in DIP switch, the MC350-4T-2S can be configured as 6-Port Ethernet switch or 4+2 fiber redundant mode.
With the 6-Port switch mode, the MC350-4T-2S can operate in Store-and-Forward mechanism with high performance; on
the other hand, when in the 4+2 fiber redundant mode, it provides rapid fiber redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet
applications. The redundant mode also supports auto-recovering function. If the destination port of a packet is link down, it
will forward the packet to the other port of the backup pair.
Environmentally Hardened Design
With IP30 metal industrial case protection, the MC350-4T-2S provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. It
also possesses an integrated power supply source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC or 24V AC) for worldwide
high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs. Being able to operate under the temperature range
from -40 to 75 degree C, the MC350-4T-2S can be placed in almost any difficult environment. The compact, IP-30
standard metal case of MC350-4T-2S allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet space.
Robust Gigabit Switch Performance
The MC350-4T-2S has 1K MAC Address table and offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet
loss, the high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments. With a 12Gbps internal
switching fabric and featuring auto negotiation support in each Gigabit port, the MC350-4T-2S Industrial Gigabit Ethernet
Switch can handle large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The flow control function enables the MC350-4T-2S to provide fast and reliable data transfer. All of the RJ-45 copper
interfaces in the MC350-4T-2S support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45
Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. The standard Auto-MDI/MDI-X support can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet
device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.

2.1.6 Cabling
10/100/1000Base-T and 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX
All 10/100/1000Base-T ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 1000Base-T,
100Base-TX and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the
10/100/1000Base-T ports, and then turn on the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch. The port will automatically runs in
10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch has two SFP interfaces that support 100/1000 dual speed mode (Optional
Multi-mode / Single-mode 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP module) through DIP switch setting.
Cabling
Each 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair
cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u / 802.3ab Fast / Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps
100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000Base-T uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum
distance is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional
SFP module. Please see table below and know more about the cable’s specifications.

2.1.7 Redundancy Overview
The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides rapid fiber redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet applications. The
redundant-mode supports auto-recover function. If the destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to
the other port of the backup pair. The following figure shows the redundant function.
Figure 2-5: Redundancy Behavior Topology
yLink status auto detect and redundant on Dual ports with same connector type.
yOnly when Primary-Port is active, the Backup-Port is blocked.
yWhen Primary-Port link failure occurs, the traffic will swap to Backup-Port automatically.
yOnce the Primary-Port status is back to link up, the traffic will swap from Backup-Port to Primary-Port.
