300 Series Industrial Ethernet Switches The 300 Series Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switches support high speed layer 2 switching between ports. All N-TRON 300 Series switches are housed in a ruggedized steel enclosure, and provide Category-5 compliant 10/100-BaseT connections for high performance network design, and hub/repeater upgrades. The 302MC/MCE is a 2 port unmanaged media converter that converts 10/100BaseTX copper to 100BaseFX full duplex fiber.
PACKAGE CONTENTS Please make sure the Ethernet Switch package contains the following items: 1. 2. 300 Series Unit N-Tron Product CD Contact your carrier if any items are damaged. INSTALLATION Read the following warning before beginning the installation: WARNING FXE units contain a class 1 laser. Do not stare into the laser beam (fiber optic connector) when installing or operating the product. Never install or work on electrical equipment or cabling during periods of lightning activity.
DIN-Rail Mounting Install the unit in a standard DIN-Rail. Recess the unit to allow at least 5” of horizontal clearance for fiber optic cable bend radius (2” for TX models). To install the unit to 35mm industrial DIN-Rail, place the top edge of the included mounting bracket on the back of the unit against the DIN-Rail at a 15° angle as shown. Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away from you) until it snaps into place.
FRONT PANEL LNK TX RX ACT RJ45 Ports Link LED for Fiber Optic Ports Fiber Optic Transmit Ports Fiber Optic Receive Ports Activity LED for Fiber Optic Ports Ports 1-4 Auto sensing 10/100BaseT Connections Green LED lights when Power is connected NOTE: Each RJ45 data port has two LED’s for each connector. The lower LED indicates LINK status, and the upper LED indicates ACTIVITY.
APPLYING POWER (Top View) Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the top header. Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity on unit). Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the top header. All LED’s will flash ON Momentarily Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN). Note: Either V1 or V2 can be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power operation, V1 and V2 plugs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. Use wire sizes of 16-28 gauge.
TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Make sure the 2. Verify that Link LED’s are ON for connected ports. 3. Verify cabling used between stations. 4. Verify that cabling is Category 5 (or greater) for 100Mbit Operation. 5. Verify TX is connected to far end RX and vise versa (fiber optic units only). (Power LED) is ON.
