5. Opsætning
5.1 Montering af kontakten
The EDS-408A can be mounted on a DIN-rail or wall-mounted using the provided kit.
- DIN-skinne montering: Attach the DIN-rail mounting plate to the rear of the switch. Hook the top of the plate over the DIN-rail and push the bottom until it clicks into place.
- Vægmontering: Secure the wall mounting plates to the sides of the switch. Use appropriate screws to fasten the switch to a sturdy wall surface.
5.2 Strømtilslutning
The EDS-408A supports redundant DC power inputs. Connect your power sources to the terminal block on the rear panel. Ensure the voltage is within the specified range (e.g., 12-48 VDC) and observe correct polarity. Secure the terminal block to the switch.
5.3 Netværksforbindelse
Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (e.g., PCs, servers, other switches) to the RJ45 ports on the front panel of the EDS-408A. The ports support 10/100 Mbps speeds and auto-negotiation.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
6.1 Indledende konfiguration
The EDS-408A can be configured via a web browser, CLI, or Moxa's Windows utility.
- Web-baseret ledelse: Connect a PC to any Ethernet port on the switch. Configure your PC's IP address to be in the same subnet as the switch's default IP address (refer to the Quick Installation Guide for default IP). Open a web browser and enter the switch's IP address. Log in using the default credentials.
- CLI (Console/Telnet): Connect a console cable to the switch's console port (if available) or use Telnet to access the command-line interface for advanced configuration.
6.2 Grundlæggende netværksindstillinger
Once logged in, you can configure various network settings:
- IP-adresse: Change the switch's IP address to match your network's addressing scheme.
- VLAN-konfiguration: Create and assign VLANs to ports to segment your network.
- QoS-indstillinger: Prioritize critical traffic using QoS settings to ensure optimal performance for sensitive applications.
- Redundancy Protocols: Configure Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP, or STP for network redundancy.
7. Vedligeholdelse
7.1 Rengøring
Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
7.2 firmwareopdateringer

It is recommended to regularly back up the switch's configuration settings. This allows for quick restoration in case of a device replacement or accidental configuration changes.
8. Fejlfinding
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the EDS-408A switch.
- Ingen strøm: Ensure both power inputs are correctly connected and receiving power. Check the PWR1/PWR2 LEDs. If they are off, verify the power source and cabling.
- Intet link på porten: Verify the Ethernet cable connection between the switch and the connected device. Check the link/activity LED on the port. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Kan ikke få adgang Web Interface: Confirm your PC's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch. Try pinging the switch's IP address. If unsuccessful, reset the switch to factory defaults (refer to the Quick Installation Guide for reset procedure).
- Problemer med netværksydelse: Check QoS settings to ensure critical traffic is prioritized. Verify VLAN configurations to prevent broadcast storms. Inspect cable quality and length.
- FAULT LED On: This indicates a system fault. Check the system logs via the web interface or CLI for specific error messages. Common faults include power supply issues or network redundancy failures.
If you are unable to resolve an issue, please contact Moxa technical support.
