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.
6. Mounting Dimensions (units = mm)
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
o Tenez 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.
o Le 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.
o La 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.
o Fourni par la source SELV évaluée uniquement par l'alimentation UL 61010-1 or
61010-2-201.

4 5 6 V1.2 / 2021-07-06
Note about behavior of failure relay (triggerable by 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-AL18M-16TX-2GC is equipped with following communication interfaces:
16 x 10/100Base-T(X) ports
2 x Ethernet-Combo-Ports, that can be used either as 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) ports
or alternatively as 100/1000BASE-X ports with respective SFP Transceivers
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) RJ45 Ports
The 10/100BaseT(X) 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).

9.2 Combo-Ports
The switch is equipped with combo ports that can be used either as 10/100/1000BASE-T(X)
ports with RJ45 connector or with optional SFP transceivers (mini GBIC) for 100/1000BASE-X
(e.g. for connections with fiber optic technology over long distances). For correct function,
please note that only one function of a combo port may be used and connected at a time. The
RJ45 port can only be used if no SFP module is plugged in.
9.2.1 1000BASE-T Ethernet Port Connection
1000BASE-T data is transmitted on differential TRD+/- signal pairs over copper wires.

9.2.2 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber optic port
The 100/1000BaseSFP type slots require either a 100BaseSFP or a 1000BaseSFP fiber
transceiver (mini-GBIC) to work properly. Please only use SFP modules and cables that are
compatible with each other to establish an optical connection.
LC-Port Pinouts: LC-Port to LC-Port Cable Wiring:
For a LC-Port with separate Transmit and Receive Port please remember to connect the Tx
(transmit) port of Device-1 to the Rx (receive) port of Device-2, and the Rx (receive) port of Device-
1 to the Tx (transmit) port of Device-2.
