The SMX-RNS02 module can be mounted to DIN rail. It is recommended to be mounted vertically to
increase the performance of the device and to provide space advantage.
3.1. Mounting
Bring the top of the device to the top edge of the standard profile rail and place the device on
the rail track.
Push the device towards the standard profile rail. You will hear the device sitting in place with
the click sound.
3.2. Removing
With the help of a screwdriver, pull down the locking spring from the bottom of the device.
Separate the screwdriver from the rail line without separating it from its position, pulling the
clight towards yourself.

4. Electrical Connection
The SMX-RNS02 module has 1 terminal group. The terminal group is called X1. The X1 terminal group
has 3 terminals. These are as follows respectively;
X1
+
-
GND
After you have completed the physical installation of your device, you can run your device by
connecting the device (+), (-), and GND terminals to the appropriate terminals at the power supply
output.
Faulty or incomplete connection may damage you, those around you, or devices.
See the relevant documents for detailed information and electrical drawings.
There are 2 USB connections on the SMX-RNS02. The USB connection requires (-) to be
short circuited to GND by design. For this reason, GND and (-) on SMX-RNS02 are short
circuited.

5. Device Connections
5.1. Ethernet Devices
To connect your Ethernet devices to the SMX-RNS02 module, you must set up an IP in the IP range
that you have given to the SMX-RNS02 module.
Example
If your SMX-RNS02 module is in the following settings
IP: 192.168.168.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
IP (PC): 192.168.168.250
In this case, you must provide an IP address for your devices in the range of [192.168.168.1
–192.168.168.249] and [192.168.168.251 - 192.168.168.253]
After you adjust your field device's IP addresses, you can connect your devices to 2 Ethernet ports on
the SMX-RNS02. You do not need to make any adjustments other than IP address.
Faulty or incomplete connection may damage you, those around you, or devices.
5.2. Use of Ethernet Ports as a Switch
With the "KSZ8895" Microchip used in the SMX-RNS02 module, your Ethernet devices that you
connect to module can communicate with each other.
Device 1
IP: 192.168.168.100
Device 2
IP: 192.168.168.101
SMX-RNS02
IP: 192.168.168.254

If your devices and module are set up as above and connections have been made (IP addresses are
used as examples) these connections are possible;
Device 1 to Device 2
Device 2 to Device 1
Also If you connect to the SMX-RNS02 module by using Wi-Fi as AP than you can access to Device 1
and Device 2.

6. Registering SMX-RNS02
The "Welcome" screen will open after login in to the system. The screen has two parts. The page
structure is in the form of menu on the left and page content on the right.
In order to use the SMX-RNS02 device, the device must be registered first.
Each device has a "Register Info" card. This card has a serial number and registration password. For
example,
Register Info
Model
SMX-RNS02
Serial No.
SRX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Password
XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
From the Left Menu, go to the "SX-Node"--->"SX-Node - List" page.
Your existing devices are listed in the Table in the Page. If you're logging into the system for the
first time, the list will be empty.
Press the icon from Toolbar to +. You will be redirected to the "Add New Device" page.
Enter all information by using the “Register Info” card, complete and error-free.
Press the Save button.
If all information is correct, the device will be registered & displayed in the list.
If your HW Key or SW Key is a subkey (slave), the new added devices will be saved to the
master account.
All information on the “Register info” card is specific to you.
For your safety, it is recommended that you do not share it with anyone.
After the device registration, it is recommended that you type your customer name or
reference in the relevant section on the "Register Info" card and keep the card.
