Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
Panel/Wall Mounting
STEP 1:
Mounting the TN-5916 to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the ToughNet router as a
guide to mark the correct positions of the 4 screws.
STEP 2:
Use the 4 screws in the panel mounting kit. If you would like to use your own
screws, make sure the screw head is between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm in diameter and
the shaft is less than 4.0 mm in diameter, as shown at the right.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to allow
room for sliding the ToughNet router between the wall and the screws.
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw head
and shaft size are suitable by inserting the screw through one of the keyhole-
shaped apertures of the ToughNet router.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed in the wall, hang the ToughNet router on the 4
screws through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the router downwards. Tighten the four screws for added stability.
NOTE To provide greater protection from vibration and shock, use screws
with shaft diameter between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm, and fix the ToughNet router
onto the wall directly through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped
apertures.
DIN-Rail Mounting (optional)
Use the optional DIN-rail mounting kit (DK-DC50131, must be purchased
separately) to mount the TN-5916 on a 35 mm DIN-rail.
STEP 1:
Use 12 screws (6 screws per plate) to attach the two DIN-rail attachment
plates to the rear panel of the router.
STEP 2:
If the spring-loaded bracket is locked in place, push the recessed button to
release it. Once released, you should feel some resistance from the spring as
you slide the bracket up and down a few millimeters in each direction.
STEP 3:
Position the ToughNet router on the DIN-rail, tilted, so the clamps hook over
the top edge of the rail.
STEP 4:
Swing the router down fully onto the DIN-rail, until both clamps completely
latch.
To remove the Moxa ToughNet Router from the DIN-rail, use a screwdriver to pull out the two spring-loaded brackets from the bottom until they are fixed in a “locked” position. Then, reverse Steps 3 and 4 above.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The correct power
supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check the voltage of your power
source to make sure you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage
greater than what is specified on the product label. These devices must be
supplied by a SELV source as defined in the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
and 2004/108/EC.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa
router.
This device has UL 508 approval. Use copper conductors only, 60 to 75°C, and
tighten to 4.5 inch-pounds. For use in pollution degree 2 environments.
Please Read and Follow These Guidelines:
-
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. -
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
-
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
-
It is strongly advised that you label wiring for all devices in the system when necessary.
Grounding the ToughNet NAT Router
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
grounding 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.
Connecting the Power Supplies
The ToughNet TN-5916 series routers support two sets of power supplies—power
input 1 and power input 2. The M23 6-pin male connector on the TN-5916’s front
panel is used for the dual power inputs.
Pinouts for the Power Input Port on the TN-5916
| Pin | Description | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| **** 1 | **** PWR1 Live / DC + | Connect “PWR1 Live / DC +” to the positive |
(+) terminal when using a DC power source.
2| PWR1 Neutral / DC –| Connect “PWR1 Neutral / DC –” to the
negative (-) terminal when using a DC power source.
3| Chassis Ground| Connect the “Chassis Ground” to the safety ground terminal
for DC inputs.
4| PWR2 Neutral / DC –| Connect “PWR2 Neutral / DC –” to the
negative (-) terminal when using a DC power source.
5| PWR2 Live / DC +| Connect “PWR2 Live / DC +” to the positive
(+) terminal when using a DC power source.
STEP 1:
Plug the power cord connector into the TN-5916’s power input port.
STEP 2:
Screw in the nut on the power cord connector to the power input connector (on
the router) to ensure a tight connection.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the TN-5916 to the power input, make sure the power source
voltage is stable.
Connecting the Relay Outputs
Each TN-5916 router has two sets of relay outputs—relay output 1 and relay
output 2.The M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector on the TN-5916 front panel is
used for the two relay outputs. Use a power cord with an M12 A-coded 5-pin
female connector to connect the relay contacts. You can purchase an M12 power
cable from Moxa; the model number is CBL-M12 (FF5P)/OPEN-100 IP67.
Pinouts for the TN-5916’s Relay Output Port
FAULT:
The two sets of relay contacts of the M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector are
used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault
contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit remains closed.
Connecting the Data Lines
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
All TN-5916 models have 16 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (4-pin shielded M12
connector with D coding). The 10/100TX ports located on the TN-5916 front
panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users configure
these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are
adjusted automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used (straight-
through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch/Router-
type) connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch/Router-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
Bypass Relay Function
The TN-5916 is equipped with a bypass relay function. When the router is
operating normally, these bypass ports work in the same way as the other
ports. That is, frame ingressions are processed and then forwarded. If the
router stops working due to a power failure, the bypass relay function will be
triggered to ensure non-stop data communication.
The figure below illustrates the bypass relay function. For example, if Router
B loses power, then the two bypass functional ports will be bypassed through
the relay circuit and the transmission line from Router A to B and the
transmission line from Router B to C will interconnect automatically, ensuring
that power continues to be supplied.
The bypass relay function helps the network recover from single-node failures
in a linear topology.
Since the maximum segment length of category 5 twisted-pair cable is 100
meters, cable length must be considered when designing a network that utilizes
this function. For example, the total length of the cables from Router A to B
and from B to C must be no more than 100 meters. This way, if the two adjacent
nodes (router B and C for example) encounter a power failure, there will be no
stoppage, provided that the total length of the cables A-to-B, B-to-C, and
C-to-D are no more than 100 meters.
The bypass relay function works best for networks with linear topologies.
ToughNet™ routers with bypass relay function are not recommended to be used in
networks that employ ring topologies because network loops may occur when
redundancy protocols such as RSTP or TurboRing™ are applied.
