2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Switch's components and guides how to install it on the
rack or mount to the wall. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter
completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET entry level Industrial Ethernet Switch is industrially hardened Ethernet switch specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments.utilization.
2.1.1 Product Overview
The switch provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges
typical of environments found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -0 to +60 Degree C coupled with hazardous location certification (Class 1 Division 2)
allows the switch to be placed in almost any location.
The switch is packaged in a compact, IP-30 standard aluminum that allows either DIN or panel mounting
for efficient use of cabinet space. The switch provides an integrated power supply with a wide range of
voltages (12-48VDC) for worldwide operability or dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24VDC and 48VDC
power supply inputs for high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.

Power Notice:
The wire range of terminal block is from 12~ 24 AWG.

2.2 Mounting Installation
This section describes how to install the Ethernet Switch and make connections to it. Please read the
following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented.
2.2.1 DIN-Rail mounting
The DIN-Rail is screwed on the industrial switch when out of factory. If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the
industrial switch, please see the following figure to screw the DIN-Rail on the switch. To hang the
industrial switch, follow the below steps:
Step1: Insert the top of DIN-Rail into the track.
Step2: Lightly push the button of DIN-Rail into the track.

Step3: Check the DIN-Rail is tightly on the track.
Step4: To remove the industrial switch from the track, reverse steps above.
2.2.2 Wall Mount Plate Mounting
To install the switch on the wall, please follows the instructions described below.
Step1: Remove the DIN-Rail from the industrial switch; loose the screws to remove the DIN-Rail.
Step2: Place the wall mount plate on the rear panel of the industrial switch.
Step3: Use the screws to screw the wall mount plate on the industrial switch.
Step4: Use the hook holes at the corners of the wall mount plate to hang the industrial switch on the wall.
Step5: To remove the wall mount plate, reverse steps above.

3. NETWORK INSTALLATION
In this paragraph, we will describe how to install the 5/8-Port 10/100Base-TX Industrial Switch and the
installation points for the attention.
Installation Steps
Step1: Unpack the Industrial switch.
Step2: Check the DIN-Rail is screwed on the Industrial switch. (Please refer to DIN-Rail Mounting
section for DIN-Rail installation If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the Industrial switch). If you want to wall
mount the Industrial switch, then please refer to Wall Mount Plate Mounting section for wall mount plate
installation.
Step3: To hang the Industrial switch on the DIN-Rail track or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
Step4: Power on the Industrial switch. (Please refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs section for power
input) The power LED on the Industrial switch will light up. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for
meaning of LED lights.
Step5: Prepare the twisted-pair, straight through Category 5 cable for Ethernet connection.
Step6: Insert one side of Category 5 cables into the Industrial switch Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) and
another side of category 5 cables to the network devices' Ethernet port (RJ-45 port), ex: switch, Pc or
Server. The UTP port (RJ-45) LED on the Industrial switch will light up when the cable connected with the
network device. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light meaning.

#Notice:
Be sure the connected network devices support MDI/MDI-X. If it does not support then use the crossover
category 5 Cable.
Step7: When all connections are all set and LED lights all show in normal, the installation is complete.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the industrial Ethernet switch.
4.1 Incorrect connections
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with other Ethernet
device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2-pairs
twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin on right position then the link will fail. For fiber
connection, please notice that fiber cable mode and fiber module should be match.
4.1.1 Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are
snug. IF that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
4.1.2 Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problem,
and can seriously impair network performance. A category 5-cable tester is a recommended tool for
every 100Base-T network installation.
4.1.3 Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include
excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should make
sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should
be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely
impact your network performance.
4.1.4 Incorrect Power Input
Verify that you are using the right power cord/adapter (DC 12-48V), please don't use the power adapter
with DC output bigger than 48V, or it will burn this converter down.
4.2 Diagnosing LED Indicators
The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems, which
describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.
IF the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with

power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after running for a while check for loose
power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. IF you still cannot resolve the problem,
contact your local dealer for assistance.
4.2.1 Cabling
RJ-45 ports: use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections:
100ΩCategory 3, 4 or 5 Cable for 10Mbps connections or 100ΩCategory 5 cable for 100Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet).
Diagnosing LED Indicators: the Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find
possible solutions.
IF the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with
power cord. Than check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. IF you still
cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.
If the Industrial switch LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct and the packets
still cannot transmit. Please check your system's Ethernet devices' configuration or status.
