Ports  
RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): RNS5 has five 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing ports  
for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX device connection. The UTP ports will auto-detect  
10Base-T and 100Base-TX connections. Auto MDI/MDIX allows users to connect  
another switch or workstation without changing straight through or crossover  
cabling. See Figure C and C-1 for the schematic diagram of straight through and  
crossover cabling.

All ports of RNS5/8 support the auto-MDI/MDI-X function. When you use an  
Ethernet cable to connect other devices, such as computers, switches or hubs, pin  
1, 2, 3, and 6 of the 8-pin RJ45 connector are used to communicate with the  
connected devices. Pin1, 2, 3, and 6’s signals are converted by the MDI-X function,  
as shown in Table 2.

Hardware Installation  
The following figure illustrates a typical application of RNS5/8 Industrial  
5-port/8-port Ethernet Rail Switch.  
Installation and Testing  
1. Take your RNS5/8 Industrial 5-port/8-port Rail Switch out of the package box.  
2. Check if the DIN-Rail clip is attached to the RNS5/8. If the DIN-Rail clip is not  
attached to the RNS5/8, refer to DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail  
installation. If you want to wall-mount the RNS5/8, refer to Wall Mounting  
section for wall mounting installation.  
3. To place the RNS5/8 on the DIN-Rail track or wall, refer to the Mounting  
Installation section.

4. Pull the terminal block off the RNS5/8 and wire the power lines. Refer to the  
Wiring the DC Power Inputs section for how to wire the power inputs.  
5. PWR1 and PWR2 dual power inputs can be connected to power sources  
simultaneously. When the primary power source fails (the default setting is  
PWR1), the system will automatically switch to the secondary power source  
(PWR2), preventing any power interruption.  
6. Check the LED for PWR1 and PWR2 to make sure that your RNS5/8 is  
operating normally.  
[Note] If you are using DC IN power jack to supply power to the  
RNS5/8, please check the PWR LED  
7. Use Category 5 straight through Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors to  
connect network devices.  
8. Connect one side of an Ethernet cable with a RJ45 connector to the RNS5/8’s  
Ethernet port (RJ-45 port), and the other side of the Ethernet cable to the  
network device’s Ethernet port (RJ-45 port).  
9. Check the port status LED indicator (blinking green) on the RNS5/8 to see if  
the network connection is successfully established.

10.Power on the host, activate the Command Line mode, and ping the connected  
Ethernet device to see if it will respond.  
10.1 To enable the “Command Line mode”, click on Run in the Start menu,  
type Command, and click on OK to continue.  
10.2 Type ping 192.168.1.1 command to check the connection. Here we use  
IP address 192.168.1.1 as an example.  
11.Repeat step 10 to make sure that the connection of each device connected to  
the RNS5/8 is successfully established.

12.Power on the host, activate the Command Line mode, and ping the connected  
Ethernet device by typing “ping –t 192.168.1.1” command to see if it will  
respond.  
13.The parameter ”t” allows you to continue to ping the network device, as shown  
in the figure below.  
Before you continue, make sure that both PWR1 and PWR2 are successfully  
connected to power sources. When PWR1 fails, the LED for PWR1 will go out. At  
that point, you should notice that the ping command is still responding, this verifies  
that the redundant power input function is working correctly.  
14.Exit the Command Line mode, and connect PWR1 power input. .Your RNS5/8  
has been tested and the installation is complete.

Trouble shooting  
Make sure you are using the correct VDC power supplies (12 to 48 VDC) or  
power adapters. Do not use power adapters with DC output over 48V. It will  
damage the device.  
Select Ethernet cables with specifications suitable for your applications to set  
up your system. Ethernet cables are categorized into unshielded twisted-pair  
(UTP) and shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables. Category 3, 4, 5 Ethernet  
cables are suitable for systems with 10 Mbps transmission speed. For  
systems with 100 Mbps transmission speed, Category 5 Ethernet cables are  
the only suitable specifications for this environment. You also need to make  
sure that the distance between each node is not longer than 100 meters (328  
feet).  
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you  
may have a problem with the power cord. Check for loose power connections,  
power loss or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the  
problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.
