Wiring the Terminal Block
Connecting the switch to ground (optional)
If your installation requires additional grounding, refer to the Hardware Installation
Guide for information on connecting ground.
Connecting power to the IDS switch
You may connect both sets of power inputs to provide redundant power.
1. Ensure the power source is off prior to connection.
2. Using a pair of 12-20AWG wires, strip them both 7-8mm (5/16”).
3. Loosen the terminal block screws and connect positive (+) / negative (-) wires in
the +/- terminals.
4. Tighten terminal screws (0.51Nm torque). Ensure the wires are securely fastened.
5. Re-insert the terminal block connector if removed. Turn power on at source.
Check LED indicators for status.
6. Connect P2 (power source 2, beginning at Step 1.
For complete wiring instructions and for all Hazardous Locations and
general safety warnings consult the Hardware Installation Guide.
Inserting a SFP Module
Before connecting fiber cable to the switch, the SFP(s) must be installed, following
the procedure below.
1. Carefully align the SFP with the slot, ensuring the latching mechanisms will
line up. Also ensure the bale on the SFP is closed.
2. Slide the SFP until the connector is seated in the slot and latched. If you are
unable to fully insert the SFP, reverse the orientation and retry.
Connecting a fiber device
Insert SFP(s) into an SFP slot(s) and connect the LC fiber cable to the SFP(s). Each
SFP is part of a combo ports, the switch will use the first of the Ethernet/SFP pair that
establishes a link.

Connecting Ethernet
Connect network or devices to Ethernet ports using Cat5/5e Ethernet cables. For
combo ports, the switch will use the first of the Ethernet/SFP pair pair that establishes
a link.

Fast Setup
Fast Setup provides a simple method of doing an initial setup from a PC. It only
requires a PC Ethernet connection and a web browser. Other methods to configure the
IDS Switch can be found in the IDS Switch User’s guide.
1. Your PC must be set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP (See
Control Panel ->Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings ->Local
Area Connection Properties ->Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPv4) ->Properties
->Select Obtain an IP address automatically.
2. Press and hold the reset button (9) on the switch for 4 seconds and then release it.
Since the reset button is recessed in the switch, a small tool such as a paper clip
will be required. The yellow and green LEDs on an unused RJ-45 connector will
flash rapidly to indicate where to plug in the Ethernet cable from your PC.
3. Using a web browser, enter to a well known webpage such as www.google.com,
you will be automatically directed to the IDS Get Started screen.
Note: While in Fast setup mode the IDS switch will use an IP address of 169.254.0.1. If step 3 fails to
direct the browser properly, then enter the switch’s IP address into the browser’s address bar.
4. Once connected, fill in the required fields, apply changes to save and exit. The
configuration changes will be immediately applied to the switch.
5. The PC can now be reset to its normal network address and the switch can be
accessed using the conventional IP addressing.
