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.
Products The DataMotion Ethernet switch productline comprises 3 models. NS6 Ethernet switch 6-way 10/100 Mb Ethernet Switch. Power and data input via separate Power over LAN port, according to 802.3AF. Trussmountable housing, Ethernet ports are fitted with Neutrik EtherCon connectors.

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.
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.
Chapter 2: Using the NS6 Included Items In the box containing this manual, the following items should be present: 1 XLNT NS6 Ethernet switch, with integral bracket and safety. 1 Manual (this manual) Front Panel layout Power LED 1 Power LED 2...
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

LED signals Power LED 1 The upper LED shows the status of the isolated 5V power supply to the PoE control circuits. Power LED 2 The lower LED shows the status of the 5V power supply to all other circuits. PoE (per port) Will be lit when a PoE compliant device is detected and connected.
Check that this cable is properly wired (all pins connected, in the proper order) and undamaged Use a different cable Connect the NS6 Ethernet switch to a different port or a dif ferent switch If no LED’s are lit contact your local XLNT service point...
If an NS6, NS12P or NS12PF Ethernet switch is operational, but the Ethernet transmission appears to be unstable: Check maximum operational cable lengths Check that the connectors of the cables have no faults Check that the Link/Active LED is not blinking on all ports If so, there may be an overload of networking communication.
Appendix 1: Maintenance Housing Clean the exterior housing with a slightly moist, lintfree, cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If a product is used in a dusty environment (or in combination with smoke-machine oil) regular cleaning of the internal fan by qualified personnel may be required.
