Controls and Indicators The Series 400 10-Port Ethernet Switch contains the following connections and LED indicators. Fiber Optic Input ports for fiber optic cables with input Fiber Optic Output connectors. port for a fiber optic cable with an output connector. DC Power Indicator indicates AC power is applied. 10/100 Base T Connections input/output ports for standard signals. Ethernet LEDs indicates valid Ethernet link, transmit and receive for each connection when lit.
-Port Ethernet Switch The PRG Series 400 7-Port Ethernet Switch provides a powerful and convenient interface between V676®, Virtuoso®, or DMX512 control consoles and their control equipment. The 7-Port Ethernet Switch provides seven isolated copper Ethernet ports. Note: Copper connections are limited to a maximum distance of 300 feet.
Controls and Indicators The Series 400 7-Port Ethernet Switch contains the following connections and LED indicators. DC Power Indicator indicates AC power is applied. 10/100 Base T Connections input/output ports for standard signals. Ethernet LEDs indicates valid Ethernet link, transmit and receive for each connection when lit. Figure 5: 7-Port Ethernet Switch Front Panel Neutrik Connector Allows connection of AC Line Cord 208V PowerCon Cable (supplied).
INSTALLATION Installing Ethernet Switch A Series 400 Ethernet Switch can be used independently or installed directly in a Series 400 rack chassis, using any blank space above the LED Meter Module. To install in Series 400 rack: Step 1. Install Ethernet Switch as required in top portion of rack chassis (Figure 7). Step 2. At Ethernet Switch rear panel, connect AC Line Cord 208V PowerCon® Cable (supplied) to Neutrik® connector. Step 3. After power is applied, verify that ON indicator is lit. Step 4.
Connecting Ethernet Switch to System The Series 400 10-Port Ethernet Switch connects Ethernet devices using both CAT5e copper wire and armored fiber optic cable. Copper wire communication ports conform to 10/100Base-Tx standards and the fiber ports conform to 10/100Base-Fx standards. The Series 400 7-Port Ethernet Switch connects Ethernet devices using only CAT5e copper wire.
