Overview The EDS-205A/208A series of industrial Ethernet switches are entry-level industrial 5 and 8-port Ethernet switches that support IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3x with 10/100M, full/half-duplex, and MDI/MDIX auto-sensing. The EDS-205A/208A series provides 12/24/48 VDC (9.6 to 60VDC)/18 to 30 VAC redundant power inputs that can be connected simultaneously to a live AC/DC power source.

DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back panel of the EDS when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed on the wall, insert the four screw heads through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the EDS-205A/208A downwards, as indicated. Tighten the four screws for added stability. ⇒ Wiring Requirements WARNING Safety First! Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires.
Grounding the EtherDevice Switch Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.

LED Indicators The front panel of the Moxa EtherDevice Switch 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 supplied to power input Power is being supplied to power input P2.
Switching and Address Learning The EDS has an address table that can hold up to 1024 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, the EDS automatically keeps up with new node locations.
