PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2–2
unit has an ambient temperature rating of –25 to 60°C is for industrial use. No internal air
flow is required for cooling, providing resistance to dust, dirt, moisture, smoke, and insects.
Mounting options include stand-alone panel-mounting, DIN-Rail, or rack-mount tray.
The ML600 includes a hardware operated alarm terminal block for providing extra
reliability to the unit. The Alarm feature allows the ML600 user to be aware and monitor
any internal power failure. Refer to Alarm Contact on page 4–2 for additional details.
The front of the unit contains one of the following port combinations:
• six 10/100 Mb copper ports
• four 10/100 Mb copper ports and two 100 Mb fiber ports
The RJ45 ports support auto-cross (MDIX) operation under auto-negotiation mode only.
The ML600 provides switching among the four 10/100 auto-negotiating copper ports and
two 100Mb fiber ports, which may be multi-mode SC or ST, or single-mode SC. The ML600
fiber options and temperature ratings provide many networking options and solutions in a
very small footprint.
Two sets of LEDs indicate the port operating status. These are located on the top and front
for viewing advantage while rack-mounted. Link and Activity (LK/ACT) LEDs indicate that
the media cables are connected correctly and indicate network traffic by blinking. The LK/
ACT LEDs are repeated on the front as 1 to 6 (port 1 to port 6), and on the side as LA1 to
LA6. Another set of LEDs on the front (10/100 and F/H) indicate the data rate and duplex
mode for ports 1 and 2. The 10/100 LED indicates the speed for copper ports, whereas the
F/H LED indicates full and half-duplex for fiber ports only.
There is also a power LED to indicate when the unit is turned ON. The fiber ports on the
ML600 are multi-mode or single-mode with an SC or ST connector.
The external DC connector and/or "jack" and the internal DC input terminal is provided on
the rear of the unit.
