Wall Mounting (Optional) For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount MOXA EDS-516A on the wall, as shown by the following illustrations: STEP 1—Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the MOXA EDS-516A rear plate panel, and then attach the wall mount plates, as shown by the figure on the right.
ATTENTION This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or similar regulation). ATTENTION Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your MOXA EtherDevice Switch.
FAULT: The two sets of relay contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector are used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to Relay1 Relay2 the Fault contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the Fault circuit remains Relay1...
Communication Connections All models of EDS-516A have one RJ45 console port (RS-232 interface), between 14 and 16 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have 2 100BaseFX (SC/ST-type connector) fiber ports. In this section, we present two types of diagrams—Pinout Diagrams and Cable Wiring Diagrams—to convey information about the ports and the cables used to connect MOXA EDS-516A to other devices: Pinouts—The meaning of the “Pinouts”...

RS-232 Connection MOXA EDS-516A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable (see the cable following wiring diagrams) to connect MOXA EDS-516A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program, such as MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, to access MOXA EDS-516A’s console configuration utility.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users will choose to configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.
100BaseFx Ethernet Port Connection The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. As opposed to electrical signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
LED Indicators The front panel of MOXA EDS-516A contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the following table: Color State Description Power is being supplied to power input P1. AMBER PWR1 Power is not being supplied to power input P1.
