Overview
The EDS-P206A-4PoE series industrial Ethernet switches are entry-level
industrial 6-port PoE Ethernet switches that support IEEE 802.3, IEEE
802.3u, and IEEE 802.3x, with 10/100M, full/half-duplex, MDI/MDIX
auto-sensing, IEEE 802.3af, and IEEE 802.3at.
The EDS-P206A-4PoE series provides 24/48 VDC redundant power inputs
that can be connected simultaneously to a live DC power source. The
switches are available with a standard operating temperature range from
0 to 60°C, or with a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 75°C,
and their IP30 metal housing makes them rugged enough for any harsh
industrial environment.
To provide greater versatility for use with applications from different
industries, the EDS-P206A-4PoE switches also allow users to enable or
disable broadcast storm protection with DIP switches on the outer panel.
The EDS-P206A-4PoE switches can be easily installed on a DIN-Rail or in
distribution boxes. The DIN-Rail mounting capability and IP30 metal
housing with LED indicators make the plug-and-play EDS-P206A-4PoE
switches reliable and easy to use.

Mounting Dimensions
Unit = mm (inch)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the EDS when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal spring
is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 1: Insert the top of the
DIN
-Rail into the slot just
below the stiff metal spring.
STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown
below.
To remove the EDS from the DIN-Rail, reverse Steps 1 and 2 above.

- 7 -
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the
EDS-P206A-4PoE on the wall, as shown in the following figures.
STEP 1: Remove the
aluminum DIN
-Rail
attachment plate from the
EDS
-P206A-4PoE’s rear
panel, and then attach the
wall mount plates as
shown
in the diagram at
the right.
STEP 2:
Mounting the EDS-P206A-4PoE on the wall
requires 4 screws. Use the
s
witch, 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.
NOTE
Before tightening the 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 completely—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
i
n the wall, insert the four screw
heads through the large parts of
the keyhole
-shaped apertures,
and then slide
the
EDS
-P206A-4PoE downwards, as
indicated. Tighten the four screws
for
added stability.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The
correct power supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check
the voltage of your power source to make sure that you are using
the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than what is
specified on the product label.

- 8 -
WARNING
Safety First!
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 points:
•Use 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.
•You 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.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
•We strongly advise labeling the wiring to all devices in the system.
Grounding the 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 Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 4-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 EDS’s
top panel.

ATTENTION
Before connecting the EtherDevice Switch to the DC power
inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
Communication Connections
The EDS-P206A-4PoE switches have 6, 7, or 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet
ports, and 2, 1, or 0 (zero) 100BaseFX multi/single-mode (SC/ST-type
connector) fiber ports.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
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 straight-through and cross-over Ethernet
cables.

However, some PD
s only support MDI mode or MDI-
X mode only.
The following

NOTE
If the PD only supports MDI mode (V+, V+, V-, V- for pins 1, 2, 3,
6), choose
a cross-over
Ethernet cable to connect the PD and the
EDS switch. If the PD only support
s MDI-X mode (V-, V-
, V+, V+
for pin
s 1, 2, 3, 6), choose a straight-through Ethernet cable
between the PD and the EDS-P206-4PoE switch.
100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection
The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is 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.
Remember 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).

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 the EDS’s power needs.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’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 to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto
negotiates with the connected device for the fastest data transmission
rate supported by both devices. All models of Moxa EtherDevice Switch
are plug-and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required
at installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the
switched RJ45 ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-negotiation)
to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported
by the attached device.
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 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. The EDS 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
The EDS has an address table that can hold up to 1024 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, the EDS 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.

- 13 -
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of the EDS’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. The EDS
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 advertise in a similar manner. 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 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.

Conformance to UL
standards
Always use an “isolated power supply” to
conform to the UL 508 standard.
Note: We strongly recommend using an isolated power supply with
maximum output current of 7.5 A due to the power de-
rating issue of the
power supply at high operating temperatures. Moreover, without
galvanic isolation between the redundant power input
s of this device, the
V1+ and V2+ should use the same voltage.
