3.2 Nkọwa Port
- 10/100BaseTX Ports (RJ45): Ports 1 to 6 are 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet ports with auto MDI/MDI-X function. These ports automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of the connected device and adjust accordingly.
- 100BaseFX Ports (SC, Single Mode): Ports 7 and 8 are 100 Mbps fiber optic ports using SC connectors. These ports support single-mode fiber for long-distance communication.
3.3 LED egosi
The EDS-308-SS-SC features several LED indicators to provide status information:
- PWR1 (Green): Illuminates when power input 1 is active.
- PWR2 (Green): Illuminates when power input 2 is active.
- NJIDE (Uhie): Illuminates when a power failure or a port link failure occurs.
- Link/Act (Green, per port): Illuminates when a valid network link is established. Blinks when data is being transmitted or received.
3.4 Power Input and Relay Output Terminal Block
The device uses a removable terminal block for power input and relay output connections. This block is typically located on the top panel.

4.1 Nchekwa nchekwa
- Hụ na ewepụla ike tupu agbanye ma ọ bụ waya.
- Wụnye ngwaọrụ na mpaghara ikuku nke ọma.
- Properly ground the device to prevent electrical hazards and ensure stable operation.
4.2 Nhọrọ nrịgo
The EDS-308-SS-SC can be mounted on a DIN-rail or directly to a wall.
4.2.1 DIN-Rail arịọnụ
- Attach the DIN-rail mounting kit (if not pre-installed) to the rear panel of the switch.
- Kpọnye elu nke ihe mkpuchi DIN-rail n'elu nsọtụ elu nke DIN-rail.
- Press the switch firmly against the DIN-rail until it snaps into place.
4.2.2 Mgbidi Mgbidi
- Remove the DIN-rail attachment plate from the switch.
- Use screws to secure the wall mounting plate (if provided) to the switch.
- Mount the switch to a wall or cabinet surface using appropriate screws.
4.3 Wiring the Power Input
The EDS-308-SS-SC supports redundant 12/24/48 VDC power inputs. Connect the power sources to the PWR1 and PWR2 terminals on the terminal block. Ensure correct polarity.
- PWR1: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires of the first DC power source.
- PWR2: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires of the second DC power source (optional, for redundancy).
4.4 Wiring the Relay Output
The relay output provides a dry contact for alarm signaling. Connect external alarm devices (e.g., warning lights, buzzers) to the relay output terminals on the terminal block. The relay will activate (close or open, depending on configuration) when a fault condition is detected.
4.5 Na-agbanye mgbanaka ahụ
Connect the grounding wire from the grounding screw on the switch to a proper earth ground. This is crucial for electrical safety and to protect the device from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
4.6 Njikọ netwọkụ
4.6.1 Ethernet (RJ45) Ports
Connect standard Cat5e or better Ethernet cables from your network devices (e.g., PCs, PLCs, other switches) to the RJ45 ports (1-6) on the EDS-308-SS-SC. The auto MDI/MDI-X function eliminates the need for crossover cables.
4.6.2 Fiber Optic (SC) Ports
Connect single-mode fiber optic cables with SC connectors to ports 7 and 8. Ensure that the transmit (TX) fiber from one device connects to the receive (RX) port of the other device, and vice-versa.
5. Ntuziaka ọrụ
5.1 Na-agbanye ike
After all connections are securely made, apply power to the switch. The PWR1 and/or PWR2 LEDs should illuminate green, indicating successful power-up.
5.2 Checking Network Connectivity
Once network devices are connected to the switch, observe the Link/Act LEDs for each port:
- A solid green Link/Act LED indicates a successful network link.
- A blinking green Link/Act LED indicates active data transmission or reception.
- If the Link/Act LED is off, check the cable connection and the status of the connected device.
5.3 Ọrụ mkpu
The FAULT LED will illuminate red and the relay output will activate if a power failure (both PWR1 and PWR2 off) or a port link failure (any connected port loses link) occurs. This provides immediate notification of critical events.
6. Nlekọta
6.1 Nlekọta n'ozuzu
- Keep the switch clean and free from dust and debris.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.
- Avoid exposing the switch to extreme temperatures, humidity, or corrosive environments beyond its specified operating conditions.
6.2 Nhicha
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6.3 Fiber Optic Port Cleaning
Regularly inspect and clean fiber optic connectors to ensure optimal performance. Use specialized fiber optic cleaning tools and procedures to avoid damaging the delicate fiber ends.
