Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens AG could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage. Verify all items are included. Note If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Installing the Device in Hazardous Locations The RUGGEDCOM RS920W is designed to comply with the safety standards for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations where concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids may be present, as opposed to normal operating environments.
Installing the Device 2.4 Mounting the Device Installation and use of the device in a hazardous location should meet the following special conditions for safe use: • The equipment should be installed in an enclosure that is considered to be not accessible in normal operation without the use of a tool providing a degree of protection of not less than IP54.
Installing the Device 2.4.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail 2.4.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail The RUGGEDCOM RS920W can be ordered with a DIN rail adapter preinstalled on the back of the chassis. Use the adapter to mount the device to a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.

Device Management This section describes how to connect to and manage the device. Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the RUGGEDCOM RS920W console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration Manual for the RUGGEDCOM RS920W.
Device Management 3.2 Configuring the Device The serial console port implements RS232 DCE (Data Communication Equipment) on a DB9 connector. The following is the pin-out for the port: Name Description Reserved (Do Not Connect) Transmit Data Receive Data Reserved (Do Not Connect) Signal Ground Reserved (Do Not Connect) Reserved (Do Not Connect)
Communication Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS920W can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance. Ports 1 and 2 Port 3 Port 9 Figure 4.1 Port Assignment Port Type 1 and 2 Serial Ports EoVDSL Port Wireless Antennas Wireless Ethernet Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS920W supports an optional set of IEEE 802.11 compliant...
EoVDSL line configuration settings are modified on the Master and pushed to the Slave. Data flowing from the Master to the Slave is designated downstream, while data flowing from the Slave to the Master is designated upstream. Siemens supports two types of EoVDSL: • Universal EoVDSL Universal EoVDSL ports are Master/Slave selectable and offer symmetric data rates (upstream and downstream) up to 35 Mbps.
Communication Ports 4.3 Serial Ports IMPORTANT Universal and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports (master or slave) must be connected to EoVDSL ports (slave or master) of the same type. Connection between Universal EoVDSL ports and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports is not supported. While master/slave mode can be modified on Universal EoVDSL ports, the operating mode of all Long- Reach EoVDSL ports is predetermined by hardware.
