ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

This installation manual is intended only for system developers and integrators; it is not intended for end users.
It describes the hardware functions of the product, connection of peripheral devices and integration into a system. Additional information on special applications and the configuration of the product is available in a separate configuration manual which can be downloaded from the Download Center at www.eltec.com.

OVERVIEW

PRODUCTS

This installation manual comprises all information to set-up the following product.

HARDWARE

DEVICE CONNECTORS

POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE+)

The CyBox AP-A is designed to be supplied via the Ethernet uplink, as class 4 powered device, according to IEEE 802.3at. In this case the supply voltage is provided remotely over the injector.

ETHERNET INTERFACES

The LAN port of the CyBox AP-A is utilizing a M12 X-coded connector (CAT-6A) with the pin assignment as shown in Table 1. Mating connectors are available from several manufacturers.

 | PIN| SIGNAL NAME|

DESCRIPTION

---|---|---|---
| 1| D1+| First data line plus
2| D1-| First data line minus
3| D2+| Second data line plus
4| D2-| Second data line minus
5| D4+| Fourth data line plus
6| D4-| Fourth data line minus
7| D3-| Third data line minus
8| D3+| Third data line plus

Table 1 Pin Assignment of M12 Ethernet Connector (LAN 1)

ANTENNAS

The Cybex AP-A consists of a single housing with integrated antennas which are located behind the plastic cover of the device. There is no need for external RF cable installation because each of the two radio modules is connected internally to the antennas via pigtails.

The CyBox AP-A is equipped with a USB and serial port. The USB port can be used to attach a memory device to update the firmware or to configure the device. Note that the USB port is a dedicated maintenance port. It is not designed to be used while the device is in operation inside rolling stock equipment.

Table 2 shows the pin assignment of the power supply connector

| PIN| SIGNAL NAME|

DESCRIPTION

---|---|---|---
| 1| USB-VCC| USB positive power supply voltage
2| USB-D-| USB negative data line
3| USB-D+| USB positive data line
4| USB-GND| USB negative power supply voltage
5| DNC| Do not connect
6| RS232-TX| Console port transmit data
7| RS232-RX| Console port receive data
8| RS232-GND| Console port ground

RESET SWITCH

The CyBox AP-A is equipped with a hidden reset switch behind the cover plate, close to the service connector. The button is accessible with a straightened paper clip pushed through the little hole behind the sealing screw on the cover plate. The sealing screw must be tightened with a torque of 1.2 Nm. The effect of pressing the reset switch depends on the duration of its activation, as indicated in Table 9 below. The timing behavior is only valid if the device has completely booted (after approx. 1 min). While the device is booting or executing U-Boot, pushing the button will always reset the device.

The following table describes the functions of the reset switch.

HOLD TIME| STATUS LED BEHAVIOR|

ACTION

---|---|---
< 2 seconds| Off| Reset after release
2-5 seconds| Off| No action

5 seconds| Green blinking| Remove custom configuration then reset

Table 9 Reset Switch Behavior

MOUNTING

When mounting the CyBox AP-A please consider the following aspects:

• Do not install the device close to any sources of heat such as radiators or heat registers.
• Keep the device away from any liquids. The protection class of the housing is IP54.
• Keep a free space of at least 150 mm around the cooling fins to ensure adequate heat dissipation capabilities.
• The housing provides two mounting holes to install the device in horizontal or vertical orientation on a planar, flat and stable surface with a cutout for the connectors and cooling fins.
• For fixation use two M8 screws of sufficient length (ISO 4762) with the included M8 washers.

The drawings in Figure 3 to Figure 5 show the outer dimensions of the housing and installation process for the access point, including the position of the mounting holes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. Establish a connection to the network by plugging a M12 patch cable to M12 ethernet connector on the cover plate which is shown in Figure 6.
2. Make sure to use a PoE+ injector for correct operation.
3. Ensure that the ethernet cable is intact and undamaged. Do not switch on the system if there are damages on the ethernet cable or plug.
4. Use power cables which are approved for the power supply in your country.
5. The device itself has no on/off switch It starts as soon as it is supplied with power.
