Overview The ToughNet TN-5816A/5818A switches are high performance M12 Layer 3 Ethernet switches that support Layer 3 routing functionality to facilitate the deployment of applications across networks. TN-5816A/5818A switches use M12 and other circular connectors to ensure tight, robust connections and guarantee reliable operation against environmental disturbances, such as vibration and shock.

TN-5818A Series Panel/Wall Mounting STEP 1: Mounting the TN-5816A/5818A to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the ToughNet switch as a guide to mark the correct positions of the 4 screws. STEP 2: Use the 4 screws in the panel mounting kit. If you would like to use your own screws, make sure the screw head is between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm in diameter and the shaft is less than 4.0 mm in...
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and shaft size are suitable by inserting the screw through one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the ToughNet switch. STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed in the wall, hang the ToughNet switch on the 4 screws through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the switch downwards.
To remove the Moxa ToughNet Switch from the DIN-rail, use a screwdriver to pull out the two spring-loaded brackets from the bottom until they are fixed in a “locked” position. Then, reverse Steps 3 and 4 above. Wiring Requirements WARNING Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires.
Please Read and Follow These Guidelines: • Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point. NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit.
Pinouts for the power input port on the TN-5816A/5818A Description Usage PWR1 Live / DC + Connect “PWR1 Live / DC +” to the positive (+) terminal when using a DC power source. PWR1 Neutral / Connect “PWR1 Neutral / DC –” to the negative DC - (-) terminal when using a DC power source.

FAULT: The two sets of relay contacts of the M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector are used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to 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 closed.

Bypass Relay Function The TN-5816A/5818A is equipped with a bypass relay function. When the switch is operating normally, these bypass ports work in the same way as the other ports. That is, frame ingressions are processed and then forwarded. If the switch stops working due to a power failure, the bypass relay function will be triggered to ensure non-stop data communication.
LED Indicators Several LED indicators are located on the ToughNet switch’s front panel. The function of each LED is described in the table below. Color State Description System LEDs PWR1 AMBER Power is being supplied to power input PWR1. Power is not being supplied to power input PWR1 PWR2 AMBER...
