STEP 2:
Mounting EDS-308/309 on the wall requires 4 screws. Use
the switch, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to
mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of
the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the
shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in
the figure at the right.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
NOTE Before tightening screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and
shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one of the keyhole-
shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave about 2 mm to allow room for
sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed in the
wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large parts of the
keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide EDS-308/309 downwards, as
indicated. Tighten the four screws
for added stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless the power supply has
been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The
devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on
the type plate.
The devices are designed for operation with a Safety Extra-Low
Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to the supply voltage
connections and to the signal contact with the Safety Extra-Low
Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/ EN60950/
VDE0805.
WARNING
Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2, and Zone 2. These devices must be supplied by an
SELV source as defined in Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC
and 93/68/EEC.
WARNING
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another
p
iece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or
similar regulation).
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa EtherDevice Switch.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following items:
yUse separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring
and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular
at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in
the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
yYou can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine
which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that
shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
yKeep input wiring and output wiring separated.
yIt is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when
necessary.

Grounding Moxa EtherDevice Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Alarm Contact
The Alarm Contact consists of the two middle contacts of the terminal block on
EDS’s top panel. You may refer to the next section for detailed instructions on
how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the
terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor. In this section, we
explain the meaning of the two contacts used to connect the Alarm Contact.
FAULT
FAULT
Top View
Front View
FAULT: The two middle contacts of the 6-contact
terminal block connector are used to detect both
power faults and port faults. The two wires
attached to the Fault contacts form an open circuit
when:
1. The EDS has lost power from one of the DC
power inputs.
OR
2. One of the ports for which the corresponding
PORT ALARM DIP Switch is set to ON is not
properly connected.
If neither of these two conditions is satisfied, the
Fault circuit will be closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-contact terminal
block connector on the EDS’s top panel are used for the EDS’s two DC inputs.
Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires
into the V-/V+ terminals.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling
loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten
the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal
block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block
connector prongs into the terminal block receptor,
which is located on the EDS’s top panel.

ATTENTION
Before connecting the EDS to the DC power inputs, make sure
the DC power source voltage is stable.
Communication Connections
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the EDS’s front panel are used to
connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable wiring diagrams for

100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection
The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose
you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals, optical
signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of
the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the
other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for
full-duplex transmission.
1 8

- 12 -
All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the
Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx
(transmit) port of device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling
the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as
shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

ATTENTION
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious
damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the Laser Beam.
Redundant Power Inputs
Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources.
If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup, and
automatically supplies all of EDS-308/309’s power needs.
Alarm Contact
The Moxa EtherDevice Switch has one Alarm Contact located on the top panel.
For detailed instructions on how to connect the Alarm Contact power wires to
the two middle contacts of the 6-contact terminal block connector, see the
Wiring the Alarm Contact section on page 8. A typical scenario would be to
connect the Fault circuit to a warning light located in the control room. The
light can be set up to switch on when a fault is detected.
The Alarm Contact has two terminals that form a Fault circuit for connecting to
an alarm system. The two wires attached to the Fault contacts form an open
circuit when (1) EDS has lost power from one of the DC power inputs, or (2)
one of the ports for which the corresponding PORT ALARM DIP Switch is set
to ON is not properly connected.
If neither of these two conditions occurs, the Fault circuit will be closed.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect EDS-308’s
10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to pay
attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This
means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable to
connect EDS-308/309 to Ethernet devices.

- 14 -
Switching, Filtering, and Forwarding
Each time a packet arrives at one of the switched ports, a decision is made to
either filter or forward the packet. Packets with source and destination
addresses belonging to the same port segment will be filtered, constraining
those packets to one port, and relieving the rest of the network from the need to
process them. A packet with destination address on another port segment will
be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent to the other ports
where it is not needed. Packets that are used in maintaining the operation of the
network (such as the occasional multi-cast packet) are forwarded to all ports.
EDS-308/309 operates in the store-and-forward switching mode, which
eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when
there is heavy traffic on the network.
Switching and Address Learning
Moxa EDS-308/309 has an address table that can hold up to 1K node addresses,
which makes it suitable for use with large networks. The address tables are
self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed, or moved from one
segment to another, EDS-308/309 automatically keeps up with new node
locations. An address-aging algorithm causes the least-used addresses to be
deleted in favor of newer, more frequently used addresses. To reset the address
buffer, power down the unit and then power it back up.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of EDS-308/309’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support
auto-negotiation for speeds in the 10BaseT and 100BaseTX modes, with
operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. This means that some nodes
could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the same time, other nodes are
operating at 100 Mbps.
Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and then
each time a LINK is enabled. EDS-308/309 advertises its capability for using
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at the other
end of the cable expected to similarly advertise. Depending on what type of
device is connected, this will result in agreement to operate at a speed of either
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If an EDS-308/309 RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating device,
it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode, as required by the IEEE
802.3u standard.
