Grounding the TN-5305

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the

ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded

mounting surface such as a metal panel.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port

Connection

All TN-5305 models have 5 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (4-pin shielded

M12 socket with D coding). The 10/100TX ports located on the TN-5305’s

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

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 what follows, 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.
