Hardware Version Appearance The appearance of different TN-4500A Series hardware versions may not be similar. For example, the shape and positions of LEDs on the TN- 4516A hardware version 3.x are different from previous hardware versions. Secondly, the trenches on the front side are removed for hardware version 3.x.

ATTENTION Exposed connectors when not in use must be tightly covered with protective caps (an optional accessory) to ensure IP42- rated protection. Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm) TN-4516A Non-PoE Models - 12 -...
TN-4528A Fiber Models Panel/Wall Mounting STEP 1: Mounting the TN-4500A to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the ToughNet switch as a guide to mark the correct position of the 4 screws. STEP 2: Use the 4 screws in the panel mounting kit.
NOTE To provide greater protection against vibration and shock, use screws with a shaft diameter between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm, and fix the ToughNet switch onto the wall directly using the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures. NOTE The TN-4500A Series switches have passed IP42 certification. To achieve IP42 protection, only use upright panel or wall mounting installation.
ATTENTION Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa switch. This device has UL 61010-2-201 approval. Use copper conductors only, 75°C, and tighten to 4.5 pound-inches. For use in pollution degree 2 environments. ATTENTION Safety First! Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current...
Connecting the Power Supplies The ToughNet TN-4500A Series switches support dual power inputs— power input 1 and power input 2. The M23 6-pin male connector on the TN-4500A Series switches' front panel is used for the dual power inputs.
ATTENTION Do not power on the TN-4500A Series before connecting the M23 connector. Connecting the Relay Outputs Each TN-4500A Series switch has two sets of relay outputs—relay output 1 and relay output 2. The M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector on the TN-4500A Series’...

the relay circuit and the transmission line from Switch A to B and the transmission line from Switch B to C will interconnect automatically. The bypass relay function helps the network recover from single-node failures in a linear topology. With the maximum segment length of category 5 twisted-pair cable being 100 meters, cable length must be considered when designing a network that utilizes this function.
