INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CNGE2FE16MS
TECh SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
Overview
Introduction
To create the reliability in your network, the CNGE2FE16MS comes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network protocol, X-Ring II, which provides users with an easy way to establish a
redundant Ethernet network with ultra high-speed recovery time of less than 10ms. Also, the
extended MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ensures that the CNGE2FE16MSwill continue to
operate until a Gigabit network infrastructure has been established without requiring any extra
upgrade costs.
The CNGE2FE16MS also comes equipped with 2 Gbps (gigabit) Ethernet combo ports; each
combo port consists of a copper and a SFP sockets. The combo ports can be used for the
application of wideband uploading and especially long distance transmission by connecting the
SFP socket to fit the field request flexibility.
Heavy Duty
Designed with metal housing, the CNGE2FE16MS provides the rugged construction that complies
with IP30 standards.
Dual Power Inputs
The redundant power input design for the CNGE2FE16MS provides a backup power solution.
With both the power inputs supplied, if a failure occurs the other supply will be activated to keep
the system continually operating. When one of the power inputs fails, the P-Fail LED indicator
illuminates and sends an alarm through the relay output as notification.
Flexible Mounting
The CNGE2FE16MS can be mounted on the wall or on a standard DIN rail, so it is suitable for any
space-constrained environment.
Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature range of the CNGE2FE16MS is between -40 and +75ºC. With such a
wide range, you can deploy the CNGE2FE16MS in some of the harshest industrial environments.
Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make solving any challenges easy. Users can identify the status of the switch by
observing the LED indicators with the definition table.
N-Key Quick Installation
An optional accessory is offered for the CNGE2FE16MS for quick installation especially when you
are planning to do routine tasks. Users can simply plug the accessory known as N-Key into the
console port for system configuration backup/restoration.
