TN-5308 Hardware Installation Guide Moxa ToughNet Switch Fourth Edition, May 2013 2012 Moxa Inc. All rights reserved.
Overview The ToughNet TN-5308 series M12 unmanaged Ethernet switches are designed for industrial applications in harsh environments. The TN series switches use M12 connectors to ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee reliable operation against environmental disturbances, such as vibration and shock. The TN-5308 series Ethernet switches provide 8 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, support IEEE 802.3/802.

Panel/Wall Mounting Mounting the TN-5308-LV/MV on the wall requires 3 screws. Please use the 3 screws packed in the panel mounting kit. STEP 1: Prepare the 3 screw holes on the wall according to the positions of the 3 screw holes on the switch shown on the mounting dimension diagram. STEP 2: Use one screw to go through the top-middle screw hole on the switch and screw it into the wall. STEP 3: Screw in the remaining 2 screws through the bottom-left and bottom-right holes on the switch to the wall.
Wiring Requirements WARNING 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 you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than what is specified on the product label. These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC.
ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel. Connecting the Power Supply The M12 A coded 5 pin and M23 6 pin male connector on the TN-5308-LV/MV front panel is used for the DC power input. You have to prepare a power cord with M12/M23 A-coded 5-pin female connector to connect the switch to the DC power input.
Connecting the Data Lines 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection All TN-5308 models have 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (4-pin shielded M12 connectors with D coding). The 10/100TX ports located on the TN-5308’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
M12 (4-pin, M) to M12 (4-pin, M) Straight-Through Cable Wiring M12 (4-pin, M) to RJ45 (8-pin) Cross-Over Cable Wiring M12 (4-pin, M) to RJ45 (8-pin) Straight-Through Cable Wiring Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect TN-5308’s 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.
Dual Speed Functionality & Switching The TN-5308’s 10/100 Mbps switched M12 ports auto negotiate with the connected device to use the fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices. All of Moxa’s ToughNet switches are plug-and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required. The half/full duplex mode for the switched M12 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.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing All of the TN-5308’s 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 M12 cable connection is made, and then each time a LINK is enabled.
