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 60 VDC)
redundant power inputs. The switches are available with a standard operating
temperature range from -10 to 60°C, or with a wide operating temperature range
from -40 to 75°C, and IP30 metal housing makes them rugged enough for any
harsh industrial environment. To provide greater versatility for use with
applications from different industries, the EDS-205A/208A also allow users to
enable or disable broadcast storm protection with DIP switches on the outer
panel. The EDS-205A/208A switches can be easily installed with DIN-Rail
mounting as well as distribution boxes. The DIN-rail mounting capability and
IP30 metal housing with LED indicators make the plug-and-play EDS-205A/208A

To remove the EDS from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2 above.
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the EDS-205A/208A
on the wall, as shown in the following figures. STEP 1: Remove the aluminum
DIN-Rail attachment plate from the EDS-205A/208A’s rear panel, and then attach
the wall mount plates as shown in the diagram at the right.
STEP 2: Mounting the EDS-205A/208A on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the
switch, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct
locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm
in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown
in the figure at the right.
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and
shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one of the keyhole-shaped
apertures of the wall mounting plates.
Do not screw the screws in completely–leave about 2 mm to allow room for
sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First! 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 that 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 2014/35/EU and 2014/30/EU.
WARNING
Safety First! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current
allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings,
the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following points: · 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 in 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 to all devices in the system when necessary.
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.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 4-contact terminal
block connector on the EDS’s top panel are used for the EDS’s two DC inputs.
Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals. STEP
2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver
to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal
block receptor, which is located on EDS’s top panel.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the EtherDevice Switch to the DC power inputs, make sure the
DC power source voltage is stable.
NOTE For use in Pollution Degree 2 Environment” or similar environment. Field
Wiring Terminal Markings Wiring terminals shall be marked to indicate the
proper connections for power supply and load, or a wiring diagram coded to the
terminal marking shall be securely attached to the device, and “Use Copper
Conductors Only, Tighten to 4.5 pound-inches” or equivalent. This marking
should be located adjacent to the terminal or on the wiring diagram.
Communication Connections

100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection
The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose you are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Redundant Power Inputs
Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. If
one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup, and
automatically supplies all of the EDS’s power needs.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s 10/100BaseTX
ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to pay attention to the
type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This means that you can
use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable to connect the EDS to
Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto negotiates
with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by
both devices. All models of Moxa EtherDevice Switch are plug-and-play devices,
so that software configuration is not required at installation, or during
maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the switched RJ45 ports is user
dependent and changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending
on which transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
Switching, Filtering, and Forwarding
Each time a packet arrives at one of the switched ports, a decision is made to
either filter or forward the packet. Packets with source and destination
addresses belonging to the same port segment will be filtered, constraining
those packets to one port, and relieving the rest of the network from the need
to process them. A packet with destination address on another port segment
will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent to ports where
it is not needed. Packets that are used in maintaining the operation of the
network (such as the occasional multi-cast packet) are forwarded to all ports.
The EDS operates in the store-and-forward switching mode, which eliminates bad
packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when there is heavy
traffic on the network.
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. An address-aging
algorithm causes the least-used addresses to be deleted in favor of newer,
more frequently used addresses. To reset the address buffer, power down the
unit and then power it back up.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of the EDS’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support auto-negotiation
for speeds in the 10BaseT and 100BaseTX modes, with operation according to the
IEEE 802.3u standard. This means that some nodes could be operating at 10
Mbps, while at the same time, other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps. Auto-
negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and then each
time a LINK is enabled. The EDS advertises its capability for using either 10
Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at the other end of the
cable expected to advertise in a similar manner. Depending on what type of
device is connected, this will result in agreement to operate at a speed of
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If an EDS RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to
– 14 –
a non-negotiating device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode, as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
