Page 9: Chapter 1: Description
Chapter 1: Description Application Ethernet is commonly used as the main communication standard in computer networks. Standard network switches are typically designed for installation purposes, and not specifically for the rigours of entertainment touring. Unlike DMX, Ethernet can only be designed as a star network, with every device only having a single in/output port, so if multiple devices are used on a single location, an Ethernet switch must be used to connect these to eachother. -

Page 12: Power Over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet The IEEE 802.3AF Ethernet Protocol allows the XLNT NS-product range to transport both power and Ethernet data on a single CAT5, CAT5E or CAT6 compliant Ethernetcable. An IEEE 802.3AF compliant Power over Ethernet device uses a ne- gotiation procedure to establish if and how much power should be allocated. -
Page 13: Copper Ethernet Cabling
Connecting another Class 3 device (15 Watt) would lead to an allo- cated power of 105 Watts, exceeding the maximum of 100 Watts. This port will therefore not be enabled. Disconnecting one of the other Class 3 devices will result in enough unallocated power to enable this newly connected device. -

Page 15: Installation Requirements
Installation requirements The NS6 Ethernet switch is designed for use with a hookclamp (not included) Use a clamp that is appropriate both for the object it is attached to and the weight of the NS6 Ethernet switch. Mount this clamp onto the bracket which is attached to the NS6 Ethernet switch with M10 Nylock nuts and M10 bolts. -
Page 16: Connecting Ethernet
Acceptable lenghts are 95 metres with UTP cables, 50 metres with SFTP, FTP or STP cables. Power Requirements The NS6 Ethernet switch is designed to receive input power via the Ethernet connector marked as PoE Input. The NS6 Ethernet switch needs to be connected to either an 802.3AF compliant Power Over Lan Ethernet Switch or to be connected to a Midspan Power Inserter. - Page 17 (This page intentionally blank)

Rear Panel layout Fuse holder Main power input Installation requirements The NS12PF Ethernet switch is designed for 19” rack-mount use. Mount the NS12PF Ethernet switch with racking screws in a 19” cabinet. Use support strips as necessary to support the rear of the device. -
Page 20: Connecting Ethernet
Connecting Ethernet Ports 1 thru 12 Use only certified Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. The connectors on the NS12PF Ethernet switch accept both Neutrik EtherCon and standard ® RJ45 connectors Maximum operational cable lenghts are typically 95 metres with UTP cables, 50 metres with SFTP, FTP or STP cables. - Page 21 PoE (per port) Will be lit when a PoE compliant device is detected and connected. When a short circuit or overload is detected this LED will be blinking intermittendly with one pulse. When an overload is detected (maxi- mum allocatable power reached) this LED will blink intermittendly with 2 pulses.
