Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the Ethernet Switch when you take it out of the box. If you
need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff
metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 1:
Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into
the slot just below the stiff metal
spring.
STEP 2:
The DIN-Rail attachment unit will
snap into place as shown below.
To remove the Ethernet Switch from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps
1 and 2 above.

7
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the IE-SW-
BL06-4PoE switch on the wall, as shown in the following figures.
STEP 1: Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the
switch rear panel, and then
attach the wall mount
plates as shown in the
diagram at the right.
STEP 2:
Mounting the switch on the wall requires 4 screws.
Use the switch, with wall mount plates attached, as a
guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws.
The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm
in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5
mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.
NOTE
Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the wall mounting
plates.
Do not screw the screws in completely—leave about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall
and the screws
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed on the wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide
the switch downwards, as indicated. Tighten the four screws for added
stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires.
The correct power supply voltage is listed on the product
label. Check the voltage of your power source to make sure
that you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a
voltage greater than what is specified on the product label.
WARNING
Safety First!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire
and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring
could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following points:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system
when necessary.
Grounding the Ethernet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.

9
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 4-contact
terminal block connector on the top panel are used for the Ethernet
Switch´s two DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the terminal block
connectors are shown here.
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-
/V+ terminals.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a
small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp
screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs
into the terminal block receptor, which is located on
Ethernet Switch top panel.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the Ethernet Switch to the DC power
inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
Communication Connections
The IE-SW-BL06 series has 4, 5 or 6 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports
and 2, 1 or 0 (zero) 100BaseFX multi-mode (SC/ST-type connector)
fiber ports. 4 of the 10/100BaseT(X) ports are PoE capable according to
IEEE 802.3 af/at.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the Ethernet Switch 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, and
also show cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over
Ethernet cables.

NOTE
According to IEEE 802.3af/at standards, the PD shall be
implemented to be insensitive to the polarity of the power
supply and shall be able to operate per MDI mode and MDI-X
mode. However, some PDs only support MDI mode or MDI-X
mode only. The following figure shows how to select the correct
cable between the PD and IE-SW-BL06-4PoE switch.
RJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Straight-Through Cable Wiring
RJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Cross-Over Cable Wiring
NOTE
If the PD only supports MDI mode (V+, V+, V-, V- for pins 1, 2,
3, 6), choose a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the PD and
the switch. If the PD only supports MDI-X mode (V-, V-, V+, V+
for pins 1, 2, 3, 6), choose a straight-through Ethernet cable
between the PD and the IE-SW-BL06-4PoE switch.

11
100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection
The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical
signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data.
Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from
device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from
device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx
(receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the
Tx (transmit) port of device II.

This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing
serious damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the
Laser Beam.
Redundant Power Inputs
Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power
sources. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a
backup, and automatically supplies all of the Ethernet Switch power
needs.
DIP Switch Settings
The default setting for each DIP Switch is
OFF. The following table explains the effect
of setting the DIP Switches to the ON
positions.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Ethernet
Switch 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without
needing to pay attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the
connection. This means that you can use either a straight-through cable
or cross-over cable to connect the Ethernet Switch to Ethernet devices.

13
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Ethernet Switch 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto negotiates
with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate
supported by both devices. All models of Weidmüller Ethernet Switch
are plug-and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required
at installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the
switched RJ45 ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-
negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission
speed is supported by the attached device.
Switching, Filtering, and Forwarding
Each time a packet arrives at one of the switched ports, a decision is
made to either filter or forward the packet. Packets with source and
destination addresses belonging to the same port segment will be
filtered, constraining those packets to one port, and relieving the rest of
the network from the need to process them. A packet with destination
address on another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate
port, and will not be sent to ports where it is not needed. Packets that
are used in maintaining the operation of the network (such as the
occasional multi-cast packet) are forwarded to all ports. The Ethernet
Switch operates in the store-and-forward switching mode, which
eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be achieved
when there is heavy traffic on the network.
Switching and Address Learning
The Ethernet Switch has an address table that can hold up to 1024
addresses, which makes it suitable for use with large networks. The
address tables are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or
removed, or moved from one segment to another, the Ethernet Switch
automatically keeps up with new node locations. An address-aging
algorithm causes the least-used addresses to be deleted in favor of
newer, more frequently used addresses. To reset the address buffer,
power down the unit and then power it back up.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of the Ethernet Switch RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support
auto-negotiation for speeds in the 10BaseT and 100BaseTX modes,
with operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. This means that
some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the same time,
other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps. Auto-negotiation takes place
when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and then each time a LINK is
enabled. The Ethernet Switch advertises its capability for using either
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at the other
end of the cable expected to advertise in a similar manner. Depending
on what type of device is connected, this will result in agreement to
operate at a speed of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Note about possible lost of data packages in case of “Duplex
mismatching”
If the Switch’ AutoNeg-Port is 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.
For correct transmission the non-negotiating port has to be set to half-
duplex mode (speed either 10 or 100 Mbit/s).

Conformance to UL
standards
Always use an “isolated power supply” to
conform to the UL 508 standard.
Note: We strongly recommend using an isolated power supply with
maximum output current of 7.5A due to the power de-rating issue of
the power supply at high operating temperatures. Moreover, without
galvanic isolation between the redundant power inputs of this device,
the V1+ and V2+ should use the same voltage.
