Overview
The EDS-G205A-4PoE series industrial Ethernet switches are rugged
entry-level industrial 5-port gigabit PoE switches that support IEEE 802.3,
IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3x with 10/100/1000M, full/half-duplex,
MDI/MDIX auto-sensing, and IEEE 802.3af/IEEE 802.3at PoE standards.
The EDS-G205A-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-G205A-4PoE switches also allow users to enable or
disable broadcast storm protection with DIP switches on the outer panel.
The EDS-G205A-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-G205A-4PoE
switches reliable and easy to use.

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, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2
above.
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the
EDS-G205A-4PoE on the wall, as shown in the following figures.
STEP 1: Remove the
aluminum DIN
-Rail
attachment plate from
the
EDS
-G205A-4PoE’s rear
panel, and then attach the
wall mount plates as shown
in
the diagram at the right.
STEP 2:
Mounting
the EDS-G205A-
4PoE 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.
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
a
llow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and
the screws

- 6 -
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed on the
wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large parts of the
keyhole
-
shaped apertures, and then
slide
the EDS 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
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wir
e. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
m
aximum 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.
•It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system
when necessary.

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 inte
nded to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The two 2-contact terminal block connectors on the EDS's top panel are
used for the EDS's two DC power inputs. Top and front views 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 t
erminal 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.

NOTE
If the PD only supports PoE 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 supports
PoE MDI-X mode (V-
,
V
-, V+, V+ for pins 1, 2, 3, 6), choose a straight-through
Ethernet cable between the PD and the EDS switch.
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
10/100/1000Base-T(X) 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.
Triple Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s 10/100/1000 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.
Jumbo Frame
By default, EDS-G205A-4PoE series supports Ethernet jumbo frame up to
9.6K which is with more than 1500 bytes of payload. This is commonly
used for large packet size applications such as video surveillance.
Broadcast Storm Protection
The EDS-G205A-4PoE Series has built-in algorithm for limiting the
amount of broadcast packets through the switch. This function is by
default enabled and can be disabled by turning off the DIP switch labeled
"BSP" on the top cover. If the broadcast storm protection algorithm
detects more than 2k broadcast frames per second, then the switch will
be suppressed from receiving broadcast frames for a period of 2ms to
prevent any further flooding.

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 inputs of this device, the
V1+ and V2+ should use the same voltage.
