5. DIN-Rail Mounting
Slide the switch onto a DIN-rail and make sure that the switch’s Din-rail clip clicks into
the rail firmly.
STEP 1: Place the mounting clip
from above onto the mounting rail.
STEP 2: Press the device against
the DIN rail until the fastening
element engages on the mounting
rail.
To remove the Ethernet Switch from
the DIN-rail pull down the latch with
a screwdriver then move the device away from the DIN rail and lift it up.

7. Grounding Ethernet Switch
ATTENTION
- Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface
prior to connecting devices.
- This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface, such as a metal panel.
- The shielding ground of the RJ45 ports are electrically connected to the
ground connection (screw).
8. Wiring Redundant Power Inputs and Fault Alarm
Relay
The switch supports redundant power supply inputs and provides a fault alarm relay for
detecting the user-configurable failure events
Interruption of Power 1 or Power 2 and
Link Loss of Ethernet Ports.
Refer to illustration below for correct wiring.
Warning / Avertissement
Take into consideration the following guidelines before wiring the device.
oTenez compte des directrices suivantes avant de câbler l’appareil.
Terminal block is mating with Plug and suitable for 12-24AWG. Torque
value 4.5 lb-in.
oLe bornier est compatible avec les connecteurs et convient pour 12-
24AWG. Valeur de couple 4,5 lb-in.
The temperature rating of the input connection cable should higher than
105°C.
oLa température de service nominale du câble d’entrée doit être supérieure
à 105 °C.
Supplied by SELV source evaluated by UL 61010-1 or 61010-2-
201 power
supply only.
oFourni par la source SELV évaluée uniquement par l'alimentation UL
61010-1 or 61010-2-201.

4 5 6 V1.1 / 2020-12-29
Behavior of fault alarm relay (can be triggered by configurable events power
failure or port link down):
Relay contact is closed if the device is powered-off.
Relay contact is open if the device is powered-on and no alarm conditions exist
(neither Power Failure Alarms nor Port Link Loss Alarms are activated (Web menu
Warnings Fault Relay Alarm).
Relay contact closes if any of an activated alarm condition happens.
9. Communication Connections
Switch IE-SW-AL08M-6TX-2GT is equipped with:
6 x 10/100BASE-T(X) Ethernet ports (Auto MDI-X)
2 x 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) Ethernet ports (Auto MDI-X)
Please only use cables suitable for the respective type of communication and ensure
that signals are protected from possible interference.
9.1 10/100BASE-T(X) and 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) RJ45 Ports
The RJ45 ports located on Ethernet Switch’s front panel are used to connect to
Ethernet-enabled devices. Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and
MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports. Auto MDI-X ensures that both wiring-schemes are
supported (Automatic crossover function).
