DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back panel of the EDS when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
NOTE Before tightening screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates. Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.
Conditions of safe use • Transient protection shall be provided to limit the peak rated voltage to a maximum of 140% of the peak-rated voltage. • When end users are providing Optical SFP Communications modules, these must be limited to Laser Class 1 only. •...
ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. We suggest using the cable type AWG min. 18 for grounding the EDS-G308. Wiring the Alarm Contact The Alarm Contact consists of the two middle contacts of the terminal block on the EDS’s top panel.
ATTENTION Before connecting the EDS to the DC power inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable. We suggest using a copper conductor with the cable type - AWG 18-24 and the corresponding pin type cable terminals. In addition, the wire must be able to withstand at least 105°C.

RJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Cross-Over Cable Wiring 100/1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port The Fiber ports on the EDS-G308 series are SFP type slots, which require 100M or 1G mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly. Moxa provides complete transceiver models for various distance requirements.
ATTENTION This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the Laser Beam. Redundant Power Inputs Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup, and automatically supplies all of the EDS’s power needs.
DIP Switch Setting Description Enables the corresponding PORT Alarm. If the port’s link fails, the relay will form an open circuit and the fault LED will light up Port Alarm Disables the corresponding PORT Alarm. If the port’s link fails, the relay will form a closed circuit and the fault LED will never light up ATTENTION To actively update DIP switch settings, power off and then...
Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without paying attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable to connect the EDS to Ethernet devices.
