Overview
The TAP-6226 trackside wireless unit is designed for board-to-ground
wireless communication. It is a highly compact and rugged wireless unit
that integrates two access points, a managed fiber switch, and a
wide-range AC/DC power supply, all in one box. The IP68 housing allows
the unit to withstand the harshest of weather and the unit is shock and
vibration proof with M12 connectors. The TAP-6226 supports advanced
controller-based Turbo Roaming technology for applications such as
Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC). The unit can also supply
power for up to 4 PoE devices while providing reliable LAN communication
with Moxa’s Turbo Chain technology.

Wall Mounting
In most applications, wall mount provides an easier installation. You will
find it quite easy to mount the TAP-6226 on the wall, as illustrated below.
STEP 1: Attach the
wall
-mounting kit with
M4 screws, as shown in
the diagram below.
STEP 2: Mounting the TAP-6226 on the wall requires 4
screws. Use the
TAP-6226 device, with wall-mounting
kit attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations
of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be
between
5.5 mm and 8.5 mm in diameter, and the
shafts should
not be more than 5.0 mm in diameter,
as shown in the figure.
Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall—leave a space of about
2 mm to allow room to slide the wall-mounting kit between the wall and
the screws.

- 6 -
ATTENTION
T
est the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the
wall mounting p
lates
before it is screwed into the wall.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed into the wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the TAP-6226 downwards, as indicated below. Tighten the four
screws for added stability.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power
cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa
TAP-6226.
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 items:
•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 with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled
together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system
when necessary.

Grounding the Moxa TAP-6226
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. There must be no
potential difference between two ground
potentials; otherwise,
there is a risk that the device could be destroyed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The TAP-6226 must be connected to an IEC 60950 compliant limited
power source. When the TAP-6226 is powered by AC power, the M23
connector on the bottom panel is used for the TAP-6226’s two redundant
inputs. The M23 connector is protected by a size PG36 gasket, which is
used to attach a cable gland on top of the power cable. The pin
assignment is shown below:
Communication Connections
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
All TAP-6226 units have a 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port (4-pin shielded
M12 connector with D coding). The 10/100TX port located on the
TAP-6226’s front panel is used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Most users configure this port 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.

- 8 -
RS-232 Connection
The TAP-6226 has one RS-232 (5-pin M12) console port located on the
bottom panel. Use either an M12-to-DB9 or M12-to-DB25 cable to
connect the TAP-6226’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then
use a console terminal program to access the TAP-6226 for console
configuration.

ATTENTION
The
TAP-6226 is NOT a portable mobile device and should be
located
at least 20 cm away from the human body.
The
TAP-6226 is NOT designed for the general public. A
well
-trained technician is required to safely deploy the TAP-6226
s
and establish a wireless network.
ATTENTION
Use the
appropriate antennas for your wireless setup: Use 2.4
GHz antennas when
the TAP-6226 is configured for IEEE
802.11b/g.
Use 5 GHz antennas when the TAP-
6226 is configured
for
IEEE802.11a. Make sure that your antennas are located in a
n
area with a lightning and surge protection system installed.
ATTENTION
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1
. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2
. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact
with such circuits. When installing the antenna
, take extreme
care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they
may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and
grounding of the antenna
, refer to national and local codes (for
example, U.S.:
NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810,
Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
