Communication Connections

EDS-210A models have 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports,

10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports,100BaseSFP and 1000BaseSFP.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the EDS’s front panel are used to

connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.

Next, we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X

(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable wiring diagrams for

straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports located on Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s

front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users

will choose to configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which

case the port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the type

of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of

device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.

In the following section, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports

and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams

for straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
