FAULT:
The two sets of relay contacts of the M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector
are used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the
fault contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is
triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit
remains closed.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
All TN-5816A/5818A models have 16 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports
(4-pin shielded M12 connector with D coding). The 10/100TX ports
located on the TN-5816A/5818A 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.
