Overview
The Moxa EtherDevice™ EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Ethernet switches are
managed redundant Ethernet switches that come standard with 4
10/100BaseT(X) 802.3at/af (PoE/PoE+) compliant Ethernet ports, and 1 or 2
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports or 1 or 2 100BaseFX (SC/ST-type connector)
fiber ports. The EDS-P506A-4PoE Ethernet switches provide up to 30 watts
of power per PoE port, and allow power to be supplied to connected devices
(such as surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones) when
power is not readily available or cost-prohibitive to provide locally. The
EDS-P506A-4PoE Ethernet switches are highly versatile, and their fiber ports
can transmit data up to 40 km from the device to the control center with high
EMI immunity. The Ethernet switches support a variety of management
functions, including Turbo Chain, IEEE 1588 PTP, Turbo Ring, RSTP/STP,
IGMP, VLAN, QoS, RMON, bandwidth management, and port mirroring.
The EDS-P506A-4PoE series is designed especially for security automation
applications such as IP surveillance and gate of entry systems, which can
benefit from a scalable backbone construction and Power-over-Ethernet
support.
The EDS-P506A-4PoE can operate from 0 to 60°C or -40 to 75°C for T
models and are designed to withstand a high degree of vibration and shock.
The rugged hardware design makes the EDS-P506A-4PoE Series perfect for
ensuring that your Ethernet equipment can operate in critical industrial
environments, and complies with FCC and CE standards.
NOTE Throughout this Hardware Installation Guide, we use EDS as an
abbreviation for Moxa EtherDevice Switch.

Wall Mounting (Optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the Moxa
EDS-P506A-4PoE on the wall, as shown in the following illustrations:
STEP 1—Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the rear
p
anel of the
EDS-P506A-4PoE, and then
attach the wall mount plates
with M3 screws, as shown in
the figure to the right.

STEP 2—Mounting the EDS-P506A-4PoE on the wall requires 4
screws. Use the EDS-P506A-4PoE, with wall mount plates
attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 6 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 to the right.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw through
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
p
anel between the wall and the
screws.
STEP 3—Once the screws are fixed
to the wall, insert the four screw
heads through the wide parts of the
keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the EDS-P506A-4PoE
downwards, as indicated in the
figure at the right. Tighten the four
screws for more stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power 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
IEC60950-1/EN60950-1.
ATTENTION
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC60950-1/EN60950-1
(or similar regulation).
ATTENTION
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.
Read and follow these guidelines:
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
through 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.
yYou should separate input wiring from output wiring.
yWe advise that you label the wiring to all devices in the system.

Grounding the Moxa EDS-P506A-4PoE
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 Relay Contact
The EDS-P506A-4PoE has two sets of relay outputs—relay 1 and relay 2.
Each relay contact uses two contacts of the terminal block on the
EDS-P506A-4PoE’s top panel. 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 illustrate the meaning of the two contacts used to connect
the relay contact.

FAULT:
The two sets of relay contacts of the
6-pin terminal block connector are
used to detect user-configured
events. The two wires attached to
the fault contacts form an open
circuit when a user-configured
event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not
occur, the fault circuit remains
closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The EDS-P506A-4PoE has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and
power input 2. The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-pin
terminal block connector on the EDS-P506A-4PoE’s top panel are used for
the two digital inputs. The 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, respectively.
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-P506A-4PoE’s
top panel.

┴/I1 terminals, respectively.
STEP 2: To keep the DI 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-P506A-4PoE’s
top panel.
Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
EDS-P506A-4PoE switches are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet
switches. The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol was developed by Moxa to
provide better network reliability and faster recovery time. Moxa Turbo Ring’s
recovery time is less than 300 ms (Turbo Ring) or 20 ms (Turbo Ring
V2) —compared to a 3- to 5-minute recovery time for commercial
switches—decreasing the possible loss caused by network failures in an
industrial setting.
There are 4 Hardware DIP Switches for Turbo Ring on the top panel of
EDS-P506A-4PoE that can help setup the Turbo Ring easily within seconds. If
you do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to setup the Turbo Ring, you can
use a web browser, telnet, or console to disable this function.
NOTE Refer to the Turbo Ring DIP Switch section and Using
Communication Redundancy section in the User’s Manual for
detailed information about the settings and usage of Turbo Ring
and Turbo Ring V2.

NOTE If you do not enable any of the EDS-P506A-4PoE switches to be
the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose
the EDS-P506A-4PoE with the smallest MAC address range to be
the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than one
EDS-P506A-4PoE to be the Ring Master, these EDS-P506A-4PoE
switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one will be the
Ring Master.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the
EDS-P506A-4PoE’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 the EDS-P506A-4PoE to Ethernet devices.
Fiber Ports
The Moxa EDS-P506A-4PoE’s fiber ports operate at a fixed 100 Mbps speed
and full-duplex mode to provide excellent performance. The fiber ports are
factory-built as either multi-mode or single-mode SC/ST connectors. Therefore,
you should use fiber cables that have SC/ST connectors at both ends. When
plugging the connector into the port, make sure the slider guide is positioned to
the right side such that it fits snuggly into the port.
