Installing MOXA EtherDevice Switch

Communication Connections

All models of EDS-508 have one RJ45 console port (RS -232 interface), and between six and eight 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have two 100BaseFX (SC-type connector) fiber ports.

In this section, we present two types of diagrams — Pinout Diagrams and Cable Wiring Diagrams — to convey information about the ports and the cables used to connect MOXA EDS-508 to other devices:

Pinouts The meaning of the “Pinouts” diagrams is straightforward — the diagrams simply display the type of signal passing through each of the port’s pins.

Cable Diagrams labeled “Cable Wiring” present standard

Wiring cable wiring schemes for cables used to connect MOXA EtherDevice Server’s ports to other devices. These diagrams display three pieces of information:

1.When building your own cable, refer to the “pin-to-pin” Cable Wiring information displayed between the two vertical dashed lines to learn which pin of the left connector should be connected to which pin of the right connector.

2.The information to the left of the left vertical dashed lines gives the pinouts of the relevant MOXA EtherDevice Server port.

3.The information to the right of the right vertical dashed line gives the pinouts of the opposing device’s port.
