Panel/Wall Mounting
STEP 1:
Mounting the TN-5508A/5510A to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the
ToughNet switch as a guide to mark the correct positions of the 4
screws.
STEP 2:
U
se the 4 screws in the panel
mounting kit. If you would like to
use your own screws, make sure
the screw head
is between 6.0
mm and 7.0 mm
in diameter and
the shaft
is less than 4.0 mm in
diameter, as shown
at the right.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the ToughNet switch between the wall and the
screws.
NOTE
Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shaft size are suitable by inserting the screw through
one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the ToughNet switch.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed in the wall, hang the ToughNet switch on the
4 screws through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures,
and then slide the switch downwards. Tighten the four screws for added
stability.
NOTE
To provide greater protection from vibrations and shocks, use
screws with shaft diameter between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm, and
fix the ToughNet switch onto the wall directly through the large
opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures.

DIN-rail Mounting (optional)
With the optional DIN
-rail
mounting kit DK
-DC50131 (must
be purchased separately), you
can mount the
TN-5508A/5510A
on a 35mm DIN
-Rail.
STEP 1:
Use 12 screws (6 screws per
plate) to attach the two DIN
-Rail
attachment plates to the rear
panel of the switch.
STEP 2:
If the spring-loaded bracket is locked in place, push the recessed
button to release it. Once released, you should feel some resistance
from the spring as you slide the bracket up and down a few millimeters
in each direction.
STEP 3:
Position the ToughNet switch on
the
DIN
rail, tilting to hook clamps over
the top edge of the rail.
STEP 4:
Swing the switch down fully onto
the DIN
rail, until both clamps
completely latch.
To remove the Moxa ToughNet Switch from the
DIN
rail, use a screwdriver to pull out the two
spring
-loaded brackets from the bottom until
they are fix
ed in the “locked” position. Then
reverse Step 3 and 4 above.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
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 you are
using the
correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than
what is
specified on the product label.
These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in
the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa
switch.
This device has UL508 approval. Use copper conductors only,
75°C, and tighten to 4.5 pound
-inches. For use in pollution
degree 2 environments.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
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.
Please read and follow these guidelines:
•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
through 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 for all devices in the
system when necessary.

- 16 -
Grounding the ToughNet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from
the grounding 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.
Connecting the Power Supplies
The ToughNet TN-5508A/5510A Series switches support two sets of
power input—power input 1 and power input 2. The M23 6-pin male
connector on the TN-5508A/5510A Series switches’ front panel is used
for the dual power inputs.

STEP 1:
Plug your power cord connector to the power input port of the TN-
5508A/5510A switch.
STEP 2:
Screw the nut on your power cord connector to the power input
connector on the switch to ensure a tight connection.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the TN
-5508A/5510A to the power input,
make sure the power source voltage is stable.
ATTENTION
Do not power on
the TN-5508A/5510A before connecting the
M23 connector.
Connecting the Relay Outputs
Each TN-5508A/5510A switch has two sets of relay outputs—relay
output 1 and relay output 2.The M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector on
the TN-5508A/5510A front panel is used for the two relay outputs. Use
a power cord with an M12 A-coded 5-pin female connector to connect
the relay contacts. You can purchase an M12 power cable from Moxa.
Pinouts for the relay output port on TN-5508A/5510A
N.C.: Not connected
FAULT:
The two sets of relay contacts of the M12 A-coded 5-pin male 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.

Connecting the Data Lines
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
All TN-5508A/5510A models have 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports
(M12 D-coded 4-pin female connector). The 10/100TX ports located on
the TN-5508A/5510A front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-
enabled devices. Most users configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X
mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically
depending on the type of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or
cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch-type)
connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and
MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

ATTENTION
The protective cover must be fixed properly to ensure IP54
protection. Use a torque wrench set to a torque of 4 kgf

when tightening the screws. Note that applying a larger
torque
may damage the plastic protective cover.

Bypass Relay Function
The TN-5510A-2GTXBP and TN-5510A-8PoE-2GTXBP models’ two
Gigabit Ethernet ports are equipped with a bypass relay function. When
the switch is operating normally, these two Gigabit ports work in the
same way as the other ports. That is, frame ingressions are processed
and then forwarded. In the event the switch stops working due to a
power failure, the bypass relay function will be triggered to ensure non-
stop data communication.
The figure below illustrates the bypass relay function. For example, if
Switch B loses power, then the two Gigabit ports will be bypassed
through the relay circuit and the transmission line from Switch A to B
and the transmission line from Switch B to C will interconnect
automatically; this way there is no stoppage.
The bypass relay function helps the network recover from single-node
failures in a linear topology.
With the maximum segment length of category 5 twisted-pair cable
being 100 meters, cable length must be considered when designing a
network that utilizes this function. For example, the total length of the
cables from Switch A to B and from B to C must be no more than 100
meters. This way, if the two adjacent nodes (switch B and C for
example) encounter a power failure, there will be no stoppage,
provided that the total length of the cables A-to-B, B-to-C, and C-to-D
are no more than 100 meters.
The bypass relay function works best for networks with linear
topologies. ToughNet™ switches with bypass relay function are not
recommended to be used in networks that employ ring topologies
because network loops may occur when redundancy protocols such as
RSTP or Turbo Ring™ are applied.
LED Indicators
Several LED indicators are located on the ToughNet switch’s front
panel. The function of each LED is described in the table below.
