2. Hardware and Power Structure
The top-mounted green terminal block provides the following connections:
- P1+ / P1-: Primary (Main) DC power input.
- P2+ / P2-: Secondary (Backup) DC power input.
- GND: Chassis grounding terminal.
3. Installation and Redundant Power
3.1. Redundant Power Connection
For zero-downtime operation, it is recommended to utilize both power inputs:
- Main Source (P1): Connect your primary DC supply to the P1 terminals.
- Backup Source (P2): Connect an independent secondary source (UPS or battery) to P2.
- Switchover Logic: If P1 power is lost, the device seamlessly switches to P2 within milliseconds without data loss.
3.2. DIN-Rail Mounting
Hook the rear bracket onto the 35mm DIN rail and press the bottom of the unit until the locking mechanism "clicks" securely.
Grounding: To ensure signal integrity at Gigabit speeds, the GND terminal must be connected to the panel's main earth ground line.
4. LED Indicator Guide
| LED | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PWR | GREEN | Power supply is active. |
| Link/Act | SOLID GREEN | 1000Mbps (Gigabit) link established. |
| Link/Act | SOLID YELLOW | 10/100Mbps link established. |
| WLAN | RED | Module active (on supported models). |
5. Safety & Troubleshooting
- Gigabit Performance: Ensure you are using Shielded (STP) Cat6 or higher cables. Standard Cat5e may not sustain full Gigabit speeds over long distances.
- Heat Dissipation: The fanless metal housing acts as a heat sink. Ensure adequate clearance around the device for natural air convection.
- Connection Issues: If speeds are capped at 100Mbps, inspect the cable pins and verify the connected device supports Gigabit Ethernet.
