Alarm terminal block for providing extra reliability to the unit. The Alarm feature allows the DFG48044X users to be aware and to monitor any internal power failure. See section 44 for details. The front side of the unit has four/five twisted-pair 10/100Mb switch ports and one/two 100Mb fiber port. All the RJ-45 ports of the DFG48044X Series Edge switches support auto-cross (MDIX) operation under auto-negotiation mode.
2 only. 10/100 indicates the speed for copper ports, whereas F/H indicates Full and Half duplex for fiber ports only. There is a power (PWR) LED to indicate that the unit is turned ON. The fiber ports on the DFG48044X Edge switches are multi-mode or single-mode with an SC, ST or small form factor connector (MTRJ multi mode or LC single-mode).
Two sets of LEDs for viewing status from any angle. Each DFG48044X Series Edge Switch is equipped with two sets (front and side) of LEDs to provide status information when viewed at almost any angle or mounting arrangement whether rack (MC14- Tray) or Din-Rail mounted.
Example: In this example, the Dante Security DFG48044X rugged Edge Switches are deployed to serve as a secure corporate or transportation surveillance system. CCTV cameras may be spread out over many miles in temperature un-controlled locations and with pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) controlled through an Ethernet copper port.
In a typical installation, the MC14-TRAY, 19” rack-mount tray will hold a few (three to eight) DFG48044X Series Edge Switches, with their power supplies plugged into power strips in the rear area of the tray. Metal mounting screws in the bottom-front hold the Edge Switches firmly in place.
19” rack-mount tray. These models come with built-in common universal AC power supply rated at 55 watts at 50°C ambient, 9VDC output and supporting up to 5 card units DFG48044X Series. The power supplies have auto-ranging AC input for use worldwide.
3.6 Powering the DFG48044X (DC internal) with 12VDC power input Each DFG48044X is equipped with an internal DC power supply, and has built-in screw terminals for secure attachment of the power input leads. Three DC power models support a range of power input types. The three DC power input terminal block choices are for use with 12VDC power.
PWR LED will illuminate. 3.8 Connecting Ethernet Media The DFG48044X Edge Switches can be connected to two media types i.e. fiber and copper (RJ-45) types, runt at 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T and 100BASE-FX only. CAT 5 cables should be used when making 100BASE-TX connections.
3.8.1 Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, CAT 3 or CAT 5, Unshielded or Shielded) The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX twisted pair segment to the RJ- 45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables. 1.
Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the Fast Link Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a NIC to the DFG48044X, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if the NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as 10BASE-T). When...
The switched RJ-45 ports are full- or half-duplex auto-sensing for mode and speed, and auto-cross for plug polarity (See Section 4.2). When the connected device is 10 Mbps, the DFG48044X obeys all the rules of 10 Mbps Ethernet configurations. The 10 Mbps users can “communicate” with 100Mbps users as well as other 10 Mbps users through the switch.
“Hardware operated Alarm” because the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an external power down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the DFG48044X Switch. Useful info about Alarm Contacts in DFG48044X: 1.
Use the PWR LEDs to verify each unit is receiving power. 5. If the problem is isolated to a network device other than the DFG48044X Series 10/100 Mb/s switch product, it is recommended that the problem device is replaced with a known good device. Verify whether or not the problem is corrected.
(see Warranty Information, Appendix A, for complete details). However, if the problem or condition causing the return cannot be duplicated by Dante Security, the unit will be returned as: No Problem Found.
