Section 1
Overview
General Information
This manual will help you install and maintain these industrial Ethernet switches. Installation
of these switches is very easy and they will begin to operate as soon as they are powered
up. For the unmanaged models (denoted by ES in their part number) there are no user
settings so they are truly plug and play. The managed models (denoted by MS in their part
number) will act as unmanaged switches until they are configured otherwise. Refer to the
managed switch software manual for configuration of advanced network functionality.
Note: This manual only covers the installation and wiring of these switches. For
the managed models refer to the separate Software User Manuals for details on
configuring and using any of the management functions such as SNMP, RSTP,
IGMP, VLANs, security, port mirroring and much more .
Note: This Equipment is Suitable for Use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D
or Non Hazardous Locations Only
Operation
Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages out all ports, these industrial Ethernet
switches will intelligently route Ethernet messages only out the appropriate port. The major
benefits of this are increased bandwidth and speed, reduction or elimination of message
collisions, and deterministic performance when tied with real-time systems.
These industrial Ethernet switches can support 10BaseT (10 Mbps), 100BaseT (100 Mbps)
and 1000BaseT (100 Mbps) on their RJ45 ports (depending on the model). Each of these
ports will independently auto-sense the speed/duplex, mdi/mdix-crossover and polarity
allowing you to use straight, crossed or even mis-wired cables. Some models also have one
or more fiber optic ports for making noise immune connections up to 120 km.

Section 2
Overview
LED Indicators
All these industrial Ethernet switches have 1 or 2 communication LEDs for each port and a
power LED. The managed models also have an “OK” output LED, a status LED and dual
power LEDs. Refer to the sample pictures below for the location of these LEDs.
Typical LED Location (varies with model)
Status LED
Managed Models Only: The Status LED indicates the overall health of the switch. It is
normally ON solid indicating that no internal CPU or software problems are detected. It will
flash when loading firmware and briefly on power up or reset. Otherwise, if it is OFF or
flashing for an extended period of time then a problem is detected. In this case, please
contact Sixnet for support.
Power LED
On unmanaged models there is typically one power LED that is ON if either power input (P1
or P2) has power applied to it. On the managed models (and some unmanaged models) there
are two Power LEDs that indicate if there is power applied to the respective input.
ACT / LNK
LED
This is the Yellow LED on models with two LEDs per RJ45 port.
Indicates that there is a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between the
ON (yellow) port and another Ethernet device, but no communications activity is
(not flashing)
detected.

Yellow or
Orange
On 10/100 ports, a 10 Mbps connection is detected.
ON 10/100/100 ports, a 10 or 1000 Mbps connection is detected.
OFF
Indicates that there is not a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between
the port and another Ethernet device. Make sure the cable has been
plugged securely into the ports at both ends.
ON
A valid Powered Device(PD) is detected and the switch is sourcing
power on this port.
OFF
No valid Powered Device(PD) is detected and no power is sourced.
Periodically
Blinks ON
No valid Powered Device (PD) is detected or the connected device is
drawing too little current (<10 mA) so no power is being sourced. Once
the connected device is loaded and draws more than 10 or 15 mA then
power will be sourced.
Error Code
Blink
If you see the same sequence of blinks repeatedly then contact Sixnet
for more information.
OK LED
Managed Models and Some Unmanaged Models: This LED indicates the status of the
power inputs. There is an output screw terminal that can be connected as shown in the wiring
diagram. The output voltage from the screw terminal marked ‘OK’ will be the same as the
applied switch input voltage. The output will be ON when both the PI and P2 terminals have
power applied to them. It will be OFF if either input does not have power or the switch
software is not running.
From PLC
Input LED
5MS-MDM Models Only: This LED indicates status of the Discrete “From PLC” input on the
modem. There is an input screw terminal that can be connected as shown in the diagram.
When voltage is applied to the From PLC input the LED will be ON. When no voltage is
applied the LED will be OFF.
To PLC
Output LED
5MS-MDM Models Only: This LED can indicate Power Status or Modem Connection status.
There is an output screw terminal. That can be connected as shown in the wiring diagram. .
The output voltage from the screw terminal marked ‘OK’ will be the same as the applied
switch input voltage. In “OK output” mode the output will be ON when both P1 and P2
terminals have power applied to them. It will be OFF if either input does not have power or the
switch software is not running. In “Carrier Detect” mode the output will be ON when the CD
LED is ON and will be OFF when the CD LED is OFF.
CD LED
5MS-MDM Models Only: The CD LED indicates when there is a carrier (successful
connection) established between the SL-5MS-MDM and another modem. When OFF the
connection is not established, and when ON the Carrier is established.
RD LED
5MS-MDM Models Only: The RD LED flashes when the SL-5MS-MDM is receiving data from
the phone line port. Flashing on this LED when the CD LED is OFF could indicate a Ring
coming in from a calling device. When the CD LED is ON and the RD LED is flashing will
indicate communication coming in from the remote device.
Sixnet Slim Line Switch Installation Guide
Page 9 of 39
TD LED
5MS-MDM Models Only: The TD LED will flash on as the SL-5MS-MDM transmits data out
to the modem. The flashing of TD LED while the CD LED is ON will indicate communications
between the SL-5MS-MDM and device connected to the other modem.

Overview of Optional Mounting Methods
Important Notes about
Thermal Performance:
The Slim Lines switches with metal cases use an
innovative technique to remove excess heat from
the product and its components. This technique
effectively utilizes the heavy-gauge all-aluminum
case as a large heat-sink. Therefore, you may
notice the case becoming warm during operation
(especially with large loads such as all ports linked
and active). This is normal operation. For best
performance it is recommended that a DIN rail
spacer (such as an end clamp) be used between
the switch and adjacent devices. This will leave an
air gap for best heat dissipation off the case. Also,
do not block the air slots.
For best thermal performance when direct panel
mounting to a metal surface, you may use a
thermal compound or pad between the mounting
face and the mounting surface. This will reduce any
air gaps and optimize the transfer of heat from the
case to the mounting surface
.

Section 4
Overview
Power and Output Wiring
These industrial Ethernet switches can be powered from the same DC source that is used to
power your other devices. A voltage in the range of 10 to 30 VDC needs to be applied
between the P1 (plus) terminal and the Minus terminal as shown in the diagrams on the next
page. The chassis screw terminal should be tied to panel or chassis ground. To reduce down
time resulting from power loss, these industrial Ethernet switches can optionally be powered
redundantly with a second power supply as shown in the diagrams.
The managed models also have an “OK” output that can be tied to a PLC input or other
device to indicate when there is a power loss. When ON, this output will source the same
voltage that is applied to the switches power terminals. See the wiring diagrams on the next
page.
Models with PoE accepts power in the range of 12 to 48 VDC and can source 48 VDC power
to four PoE devices. For PoE sourcing (PSE) operation, the power must be in the range of 45
to 50 VDC. Otherwise, the switch will function properly as an industrial Ethernet switch but
will not source any PoE power. For PoE operation, make sure your 48 VDC supply is rated
for at least 16 Watts per PoE channel being sourced, plus some overhead for the switch. It is
recommended that a supply with 75 Watts or more of power be used. PoE switchs support
dual power inputs allowing you to connect a backup power source. The backup power should
have the same voltage as the primary power.
The PoE ports when sourcing power will put out 48 VDC* (see note below) over the signal
pair of the RJ45 connection:
o V+ on RX lines 1 and 2
o V- on TX lines 3 and 6
o Lines 4, 5, 7 and 8 are unused
* Note: When the supply voltage is 45 to 47 VDC then the power output for the PoE will be
the same as the supply voltage. For example, if the supply voltage is 45 VDC then the PoE
output will also be 45 VDC. If the supply voltage is 48 to 50 VDC then the PoE output will be
regulated at 48 VDC.
Screw Torque
WIRING
WARNINGS
When tightening the screws be careful to tighten to a max. torque of 5 in/lb (0.57 Nm).
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY WIRING TO THESE SWITCHES MAKE SURE …

THE AREA IS CURRENTLY NONHAZARDOUS (ESPECIALLY WHEN
WORKING IN CLASS I, DIV 2 OR ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS)

TO TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE SWITCH

TO UNPLUG THE SCREW TERMINAL BLOCK (This is especially important on
the units that have a metal case as shown below. Connecting or disconnecting
wires to the screw block when it is in place and the power is turned on can allow
the screwdriver to short the power to the case.)
Sixnet Slim Line Switch Installation Guide

Communication Ports Wiring
Overview
These industrial Ethernet switches provide connections to standard Ethernet devices such as
PLCs, Ethernet I/O, industrial computers and much more. Three types of communication
ports may be found on these switches: RJ45 (copper) Ethernet ports, fiber optic Ethernet
ports and a serial or USB console port for management (managed models).
RJ45
Ethernet
Wiring
Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5 (or better) with
standard RJ45 connectors. For best performance use shielded cable. Straight through or
crossover RJ45 cable can be used regardless of the device the switch is to be connected to
as all the ports are capable of auto-mdi/mdix-crossover detection.
The RJ45 Ethernet port connector bodies on these products are metallic and are connected
to the Chassis GND terminal. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further
protection. To prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector
body at one end of the cable only. Electrical isolation is also provided on the Ethernet ports
for increased reliability.

The maximum cable length for 10/100/1000BaseT is typically 100 meters (328 ft.).
Ethernet
Fiber Wiring
Guidelines
Depending on the model these industrial Ethernet switches may have up to four fiber optic
ports. All 100 Mbps fiber ports are available with dual SC or ST style connectors. They are
also available with multimode, singlemode, long-haul (for connections up to 120+ km) or
special-application transceivers. Refer to the technical specifications for details.
All 1000 Mbps fiber ports are provided as mini-gbic SFP (small form pluggable). These accept
plug in fiber transceivers that typically have an LC style connector. They are available with
multimode, singlemode, long-haul (for connections up to 80+ km) or special-application
transceivers. Refer to the technical specifications for details.
For each fiber port there is a transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signal. When making your fiber
optic connections, make sure that the transmit (TX) port of the switch connects to the receive
(RX) port of the other device, and the receive (RX) port of the switc h connects to the transmit
(TX) port of the other device.
Use standard fiber optic wiring techniques (not covered by this manual) to make your
connections. The corresponding ACT/LNK LED will be ON solid or flashing when you have
made a proper connection.
For more fiber optic guidelines go to: http://www.sixnet.com
See images below for typical fiber optic port placement on these switches.

The RJ45 ports will auto-sense for Full or Half duplex operation, while the fiber ports are
configured for full duplex operation. Note: Fiber devices with half duplex settings should still
communicate with the switch. If otherwise then please contact Sixnet. On managed models
the duplex setting is software configurable.

Verifying
Connectivity
Telephone
Port Wiring
After all Ethernet and/or fiber connections are made, check the LED’s corresponding to the
ports that each of the devices are connected to. Ensure that for each port that is in use, the
LED is on or blinking. If a port LED is off, go back and check for connectivity problems
between that port and the network device connected to that particular port. In addition, the
color of the LED should indicate the speed for which your device is connected at (see prior
section on LEDs).
A standard cross-wired telephone patch cable should be used to connect to the phone line
provided by the phone company. Tip and Ring are the only two pins used on the Ethernet
Land-Line modem.

Serial
Console Port
Wiring
An optional way to configure the switch is through the RJ45 console RS232 port. Use a
DB9F to RJ45F adapter along with a RJ45 male to RJ45 male straight-thru-wired patch cable
to make a connection between a com port on your PC (DB9 male) and the RS232 port of the
Managed Switch (RJ45 female). Contact Sixnet or your switch vendor to purchase this
adapter as an accessory.

Newer models of these switches may also have an USB port instead of or in addition to the
RS232 port. Use a standard USB cable with a mini-USB plug on one end and an A-type-USB
plug on the other end. The A-type plug goes into a standard USB port on a computer. The
mini-USB plug goes into the USB port on the switch.
Refer to the software user manual for how to use this USB port.

Service Information
We sincerely hope that you never experience a problem with any Sixnet product. If you do
need service, call Sixnet at (518) 877-5173 and ask for Applications Engineering. A trained
specialist will help you to quickly determine the source of the problem. Many problems are
easily resolved with a single phone call. If it is necessary to return a unit to us, an RMA
(Return Material Authorization) number will be given to you.
Sixnet tracks the flow of returned material with our RMA system to ensure speedy service.
You must include this RMA number on the outside of the box so that your return can be
processed immediately.
The applications engineer you are speaking with will fill out an RMA request for you. If the unit
has a serial number, we will not need detailed financial information. Otherwise, be sure to
have your original purchase order number and date purchased available.
We suggest that you give us a repair purchase order number in case the repair is not covered
under our warranty. You will not be billed if the repair is covered under warranty .
Please supply us with as many details about the problem as you can. The information you
supply will be written on the RMA form and supplied to the repair department before your unit
arrives. This helps us to provide you with the best service, in the fas test manner. Normally,
repairs are completed in two days. Sometimes difficult problems take a little longer to solve.
If you need a quicker turnaround, ship the unit to us by air freight. We give priority service to
equipment that arrives by overnight delivery. Many repairs received by mid-morning (typical
overnight delivery) can be finished the same day and returned immediately.
We apologize for any inconvenience that the need for repair may cause you. We hope that our
rapid service meets your needs. If you have any suggestions to help us improve our service,
please give us a call. We appreciate your ideas and will respond to them.
