Rotate the bottom of the device towards you and away from the DIN rail. Once the bottom is clear of the DIN rail, lift the device straight up to unhook it from the DIN rail. DIN Rail Figure 2.8 Removing the DIN-Rail EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
Use the wall mount plates as a guide to mark the locations of the screw holes. Drill four holes over the four marked locations on the wall, keeping in mind that the holes must accommodate wall sinks in addition to the screws. Insert the wall sinks into the walls. EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
Install the wall mount plate on the screws and slide it forward to lock in place, see the following figure. Figure 2.11 Wall Mount Installation Once the device is installed on the wall, tighten the screws to secure the device. EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
2.2.3 SFP Connection EKI-2741FI has one SFP slot for connecting to the network segment with single or multi-mode fiber. You can choose appropriate mini-GBIC module to plug into the slot. Make sure the module is aligned correctly and then slide the module into the SFP slot until a click is heard.
Insert the fiber cable into the transceiver. The connector snaps into place and locks. Figure 2.14 Attaching a Fiber Optic Cable to a Transceiver Repeat the previous procedures to install any additional SFP transceivers in the device. The fiber port is now setup. EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
Hold the handle on the transceiver and pull the transceiver out of the slot. Handle Figure 2.16 Removing an SFP Transceiver Note! Replace the dust plug on the slot if you are not installing a transceiver. The dust plug protects hardware from dust contamination. EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
For half-duplex operation, the recommended maximum distance is 412 meters (1,352 ft.). Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use 50 or 62.5/125μm multimode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up to a 550 meters (1,804.46 ft.) distance. EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
MDI-X or uplink MDI port. Both EKI-2741LXI and EKI-2741SXI supports auto-crossover to make networking more easy and flexible. You can connect any RJ-45 (MDI-X) station port on the switch to any device such as a switch, bridge or router. EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI User Manual...
Caution! Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring. The EKI-2741FI/LXI/SXI supports dual 12 to 48 VDC power inputs and power-fail relay output. The following figure illustrates a P-Fail alarm application example. The P-Fail alarm contacts are visible on the front view of the terminal block.
If user still cannot resolve the problem, contact the local dealer for assistance. If the Industrial switch LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct but the packets still cannot transmit, please check your system’s Ether- net devices configuration or status.
