DIN-Rail Mounting For many industrial applications, you will find it convenient to attach Moxa EtherDevice Server to a DIN-Rail, as described below. The green plastic DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back panel of EDS when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to EDS, be sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
Wall Mounting For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount Moxa EtherDevice Server on the wall, as illustrated below. STEP 1:Remove the green plastic DIN-Rail attachment plate from Moxa EtherDevice Server’s rear panel, and then attach the wall mount plates, as shown in the diagram below.

Moxa EtherDevice Server is receiving power from both DC power inputs. The circuit opens if power to one of the power inputs is cut off, or if the Moxa EtherDevice Server self-test fails, alerting the user to check either the power supply or function of the Server.
Hardware Overview LED Indicators The front panel of Moxa EtherDevice Server contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below. Color State Description Power is being supplied to power input P1 AMBER Power is not being...
Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect Moxa EtherDevice Server’s 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without paying attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. To understand the meaning of this statement, you simply need to remember that there are two types of Ethernet ports, and two types of Ethernet cables.
Ethernet NIC to another computer’s Ethernet NIC. Fiber Ports Moxa EtherDevice Server’s fiber switched ports operate at a fixed 100 Mbps speed and full-duplex mode to provide the best performance. The fiber ports are factory-built as either a multi-mode or single-mode SC connector.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching Moxa EtherDevice Server’s 10/100 Mbps RJ45 switched ports can be configured for 10 Mbps operation, 100 Mbps operation, or to auto-negotiate with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices.
Hardware Overview Switching and Address Learning Moxa EtherDevice Server has an address table that can hold up to 4K node addresses, which makes it suitable for use with large networks. The address tables are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed, or moved from one segment to another, Moxa EtherDevice Server automatically keeps up with new node locations.
