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 12/24/48 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 -10 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.
NOTE
Throughout this Hardware Installation Guide, we use EDS as an
abbreviation for Moxa EtherDevice Switch:
EDS = Moxa EtherDevice Switch

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.

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
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 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 4, 5, or 6 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.

PoE 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
PoE 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the EDS switch’s front panel are
used to connect to PoE-enabled devices. The pinout follows the
“Alternative A, MDI-X mode” of 802.3af/at standards. Please see the
details in the following table.

NOTE
According to IEEE 802.3af/at standards, the PD shall be
implemented to be insensitive to the polarity of the power supply
and shall be able to operate per MDI mode and MDI
-X mode.
However, some PD
s only support MDI mode or MDI-
X mode only.
The following
figure shows how to select the correct cable
between the PD and EDS-P206A-4POE.

RJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Cross-Over Cable Wiring
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).
