6. 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.
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-AL08M-8TX is equipped with:
8 x 10/100BASE-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) 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).

6 Rx- 6 Tx-
Note about possible loss of data packages in case of “Duplex mismatching”
If a switch port is set to mode auto-negotiation and will be connected to a non-negotiating
device, then the switch will set its port transmission speed same as the connected device
but is unable to correctly detect the duplex mode.
As result the port is set to the correct speed but is using always the half duplex mode as
required by the IEEE 802.3u standard in such cases. If resulting one device is set to half
duplex mode and the other one to full duplex mode then this will cause a partial loss of
data transmission packages (Duplex Mismatch).
9.2 RS232 Console Port
The RS232 Interface with RJ45 connector can be used to access the switch console for
configuration.
