EDS-510A Series User’s Manual

Featured Functions

yAccess Port: The port connects to a single device that is not tagged. The user must define the default port PVID that determines to which VLAN the device belongs. Once the ingress packet of this Access Port egresses to another Trunk Port (the port needs all packets to carry tag information), the EDS-510A will insert this PVID into this packet to help the next 802.1Q VLAN switch recognize it.

yTrunk Port: The port connects to a LAN that consists of untagged devices/tagged devices and/or switches and hubs. In general, the traffic of the Trunk Port must have a Tag. Users can also assign PVID to a Trunk Port. The untagged packet on the Trunk Port will be assigned the port default PVID as its VID.

The following section illustrates how to use these ports to set up different applications.

In this application,

yPort 1 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 5; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 5.

yPort 2 connects a LAN with two untagged devices belonging to VLAN 2. One tagged device with VID 3 and one tagged device with VID 4. It should be configured as “Trunk Port” with PVID 2 for untagged device and Fixed VLAN (Tagged) with 3 and 4 for tagged device. Since each port can only have one unique PVID, all untagged devices on the same port can only belong to the same VLAN.

yPort 3 connects with another switch. It should be configured as “Trunk Port.” GVRP protocol will be used through the Trunk Port.

yPort 4 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 2; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 2.

yPort 5 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 3; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 3.

EDS-510A, Moxa EtherDevice Switch specifications

Moxa Technologies is a leader in providing innovative networking solutions for industrial applications, and one of its standout products is the Moxa EtherDevice Switch, EDS-510A. This robust, managed Ethernet switch is specifically designed for reliable performance in challenging industrial environments, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including automation, transportation, and power generation.

The EDS-510A features five 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports, allowing flexibility in connecting multiple devices. Additionally, it offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports for uplink, enabling high-speed connections to aggregation switches or routers. The switch supports both redundant power inputs and a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring continuity of service even in extreme conditions.

One of the key features of the EDS-510A is its support for IEEE 802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet). This technology allows the switch to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power sources. This is especially beneficial in remote locations where power availability may be limited.

The EDS-510A is also equipped with advanced management features that include VLAN support, port mirroring, and QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. These features enhance network performance and security, enabling users to prioritize critical traffic and segment the network for better control. Moreover, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for easy integration into existing network management systems.

Another notable characteristic is the switch's rugged design. With a metal housing that provides excellent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) protection, the EDS-510A can withstand harsh industrial environments. It is also compliant with various industrial standards, reinforcing its suitability for mission-critical applications.

In summary, the Moxa EtherDevice Switch, EDS-510A, is engineered to meet the demands of modern industrial networking. With its combination of PoE capability, advanced management features, and rugged design, it ensures reliable and efficient network performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their industrial networking infrastructure. Whether deployed in factories, transportation systems, or utility environments, the EDS-510A continues to be a trusted solution for numerous applications.
