IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of graphical symbols

• The lightning symbol within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltages” within the unit’s chassis that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.

• Before using this product, carefully read the applicable items of the following safety instructions.

• The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and service instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

1. Keep these instructions for future reference.
2. Read these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock:
   • Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
   • Do not use this unit near water or other liquids.
   • Do not place liquid-filled containers, for example, beverages, on top of the unit.
   • Do not operate the unit while it is wet or standing in liquid.
6. Always operate the unit with the chassis ground wire connected to the electrical safety earth. Do not defeat the safety purpose of a grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
7. Do not use this unit if the power cord is damaged or frayed. Protect the power cord from being walked upon or pinched, particularly at the plugs and the point where it exits from the apparatus.
8. The unit is intended for use in a 19″ rack. Follow the mounting instructions. When a rack on wheels is used, exercise caution when moving the loaded rack to avoid injury from tipping over.
9. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
10. Lay all cables connected to the unit carefully so that they cannot be crushed by vehicles or other equipment and that no one can either step on them or trip over them.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way such as:
    • Power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

Rack mounting and cooling

• Rack mounting
  The enclosure provides three different positions for the rack ears enabling different rack mounting options inside a d&b Touring rack assembly or any other rack assembly. Always mount the device with the top side facing upwards. The respective positions and their intended purposes are shown in the table below:
  Note: Only use the supplied M3 x 5 mm countersunk screws, to connect the rack ears or the 19″ adapter with the device.

Joining two devices side by side
Two devices can be rack-mounted side by side using the three connector plates [5].
To join two devices, please proceed as follows:

Tools required: Torque wrench, torx #TX10

Note: Please observe the safety instructions given in section Þ “Cover inserts” on page 7.
Only use the supplied countersunk screws M3 x 4 mm.

1. Undo the corresponding screws on each device and remove the cover inserts [I].
2. On the first device, insert the dual connector plates [5] into the device and fix them using three M3 x 4 mm countersunk screws.
3. Push the second device onto the dual connector plates of the first device and fix them using three M3 x 4 mm countersunk screws.
4. Tighten all screws to a maximum torque of 0.8 N×m. ↳The joined devices are ready to be mounted into the respective rack using the rack ears [2].

Cooling
Thermal conditions are a vital factor in ensuring the operational safety of the device. The device is equipped with an internal fan that draws cool air from the front into the housing and channels the warm air towards the back of the device.

• Please ensure that adequate cool airflow is provided.
• Do not block or cover the front panel air intake or the vent on the rear panel.

Mains connection
WARNING! Potential risk of electric shock.
The device is a protective class 1 unit. A missing earth (ground) contact may cause dangerous voltages in the housing and controls and may lead to electric shock.

• Connect the unit to mains power supplies with protective earth only.
• If there is any sign of obvious damage to the power cord and/or mains connector, do not use the power cord and replace it before further use.
• Please ensure the mains connector is accessible at any time to disconnect the unit in case of malfunction or danger.

Before connecting the device to mains voltage, check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond to the specifications on the rating label above the mains connector socket on the rear panel of the unit.
A mains connector socket [1] is fitted on the rear panel and an appropriate power cord [1.1] is supplied.

Reset mode
The remote reset function resets all settings related to remote communication to factory defaults. To reset the device to defaults, proceed as follows:

1. Select and hold the «MODE» button for five seconds. ↳All AVB port status LEDs turn red for two seconds. All other LEDs are off.
2. Release the «MODE» button.
3. Within two seconds, select the «MODE» button once again. ↳All AVB port status LEDs turn red for two seconds. All other LEDs are off. Alle remote settings are set to default.

Front panel

1. ETH 9 – ETH 11
   The device provides an 11-port Ethernet switch for different network topologies, redundancy (two devices) and advanced functionality with AVB. For this purpose, three connectors are provided on the front panel.
   Power over Ethernet (PoE)
   The « ETH 10/PoE» and «ETH 11/PoE» Ethernet connectors also provide Power over Ethernet based on IEEE standard 802.3af. Each port delivers a maximum of 15.4 W, both ports deliver a maximum total of 25 W. If the maximum power is exceeded, PoE supply will be shut off.

2. Operating mode selection
   The device features a «MODE» button on the front panel. This button is used for three different purposes:

   • Configuration mode
     Toggle between primary and secondary configurations.

   • Reset mode
     Reset the device to remote settings default.

   • Wink mode (device identification)
     Visual identification of the device.

3. Configuration mode
   If the device is operated within an AVB network, you must configure all switches for use in a primary or secondary network. The DN1 recognizes a primary or secondary connection of the connected AVB device and indicates an error if a primary port has been connected to a secondary switch and vice versa.
   To enter the Configuration mode, proceed as follows:

4. Select and hold the «MODE» button for two seconds. ↳Either the «PRI» or the «SEC» LED starts to flash in periods of one second with an uptime of 50%.

5. Select the «MODE» button to toggle between primary and secondary configurations. ↳After five seconds of inactivity, the «PRI» and «SEC» LEDs leave the Configuration mode and switch back to normal display mode.
   Note: Without a DHCP server in LinkLocal IP mode:

  * IP adress range in primary mode: 169.254.xxx
  * IP adress range in secondary mode: 172.31.xxx

Wink mode (device identification)
To activate the Wink mode, proceed as follows:

1. Select the «MODE» button once. ↳All AVB port status LEDs flash in the color of the current Configuration mode ( = Primary / = Secondary).
2. After three seconds, the Wink mode stops automatically.

LED indicators
All device states and operating modes are indicated by dedicated multi-colour LEDs.
Note: In case of an device error, connect the device to R1 via OCA to obtain further information.
The LED color codes and the related device states and operating modes are detailed in the table below.

Rear panel

• ETH 1 – ETH 8
  For the internal rack wiring, 8 x RJ 45 ports are provided at the rear of the device.
