LED Indicators LED Color Function P1 Green Lit: indicates that power 1 has power. P2 Green Lit: indicates that power 2 has power. FAULT Green Lit: indicates that either power 1 or power 2 has no power. 100 Green Fiber Optical Lit: indicates that the Fiber port is successfully connected to the network at 100Mbps. 10/100 Green Copper Lit: indicates that the Switch is successfully connected to the network at 100Mbps.
1. Insert positive / negative DC power wires into the contacts 1 and 2 for POWER 1, or 5 and 6 for POWER 2. V1- V1+ V2- V2+ 2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from disconnecting. 1 - 2 Power 1 + 3 4 5 Fault 6 Power 2 - + Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact The fault alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the MC250-4T will detect the fault status of the power failure and then forms an open circuit.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Insert the wires into the fault alarm contacts Note: The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range between 12 ~ 24 AWG. The alarm relay circuit accepts up to 30V, max. 3A currents. Mounting Installation This section describes how to mount the MC250-4T and make connections to it. Please read the following sections and perform the procedures in the order presented.
Mounting to a DIN-Rail The DIN-Rail kit comes assembled on the MC250-4T out of the box. Please refer to following figures to hang the MC2504T on a DIN-Rail. 1. Lightly press down and push the bottom of the DIN-Rail connector mount into the track.
2. Check that the DIN-Rail connector mount is tightly mounted on the track. 3. Please refer to following procedures to remove the MC2504T from the track. 4. Lightly press down and pull the bottom of DIN-Rail connector mount to remove it from the track. Mounting to a Wall To install the MC250-4T on the wall, please follows the instructions described below. 1. Loosen the screws to remove the DIN Rail from the Media Converter.
2. Place the wall mount plate on the rear panel of the MC2504T. 3. Assemble the wall mount plate on the MC250-4T. 4. Use the hook holes at the corners of the wall mount plate to hang the MC250-4T on the wall.
Installation Steps Step 1: Unpack the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch. Step 2: Check the DIN-Rail is screwed on the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch. (Please refer to DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation. If you want to wall mount the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch, then please refer to Wall Mount Plate Mounting section for wall mount plate installation. Step 3: To hang the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch on the DIN-Rail track or wall, please refer to the Mounting Installation section.
Switch Operation Address Table The Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table is composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of a node in the network, including MAC address, Port No., and etc. This information comes from the learning process of the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch.
from the frames before transmission. No error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability. The Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability.
Troubleshooting This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The Link LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection of the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch. Performance is bad Solution: Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device.
