Safety Warnings
• The MOBOTIX MxSwitch is only to be used in switch boxes and must
be installed on top-hat rails (also “cap rail” or “DIN rail”).
• This product must not be used in locations exposed to the dangers
of explosion.
• Only use an external power supply with 48 V DC and min. 2 A.
• Make sure to respect the operating temperature range of 0 to +40 °C
for the MxSwitch.
•
Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may only
be installed, modified and maintained by a qualified electrician or
under the direction and supervision of a qualified electrician in
accordance with the applicable guidelines. Make sure to properly
set up all electrical connections.
•
Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the necessary
configuration options for operation in Ethernet networks in compli-
ance with data protection laws. The operator is responsible for the
data protection concept across the entire system. The basic settings
required to prevent misuse can be configured in the software and
are password-protected. This prevents unauthorized parties from
accessing these settings.
Special Product Features
• Simple installation – just click onto top-hat rail.
• 4 PoE+-powered network ports (max. 25.5 W per port, max. 75 W
total load on all PoE+ ports combined)
• 1 network port for connecting LAN or computer (“Uplink”).
• Integrated power supply for door opener with 12 V DC, 1 A (e.g.,
switched by BellRFID or KeypadRFID).
• Unused wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 of network installation cables for
PoE ports A and D passed through to terminals.
• Push-button switch activates 12 V DC for 90 sec. on terminals
17/18 (to temporarily disable theft protection of the frames of
door stations and MxDisplay units).
• Integrated extensibility for additional top-hat rail modules (“Back-
bone”).
Installing and Removing the MxSwitch
Caution – Danger of Life! Switch off all power to the switch box before working on the switch box and make sure that the
power lines do not carry any current!
1. Installing the Module
Place the module onto the top-hat rail at the desired location, then
gently press the module onto the rail at the indicated locations until
it clicks into place.
After the clips have clicked into place, you can easily slide the module
on the rail until you have positioned it properly.
2. Removing the Module
Remove the network cable and any other cables or wires; isolate blank
wire ends, if required.
Push a suitable screwdriver into the red clip on one side of the module
(top or bottom), then gently pull the clip from the housing until it clicks
into the open locked position. Repeat the procedure on the clip on the
other side and remove the module.
After removing the module, lightly press on the clips; they will jump
back into their original position.

• Terminals 5 to 12: Reserved for future extensions (“Backbone”).
• Terminals 13 to 16: Spare wire pairs 7/8 and 4/5 on network port D.
• Terminals 17/18: Power supply for disabling the theft protection
(see
«Deactivating the Theft Protection»).
• Terminals 19/20: Power supply for door opener (e.g., switched
by BellRFID or KeypadRFID).

For these two ports, the wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 have been looped through
to the terminals so they can be used for other purposes (see also sec-
tion
«Example Scenarios» and the connection examples on page 2).
Make sure to use a standard network installation cable since you need
to apply crimping plugs inside the switch box or use a patch field to
connect the cable to the MxSwitch.
3. Using the Uplink Port
This port can be used to connect to another switch (and thus to the
network) or to a router. If this port is not used, you can connect a
computer to configure the network devices powered by the MxSwitch.
Notes on Using the MxSwitch
1. LED Signals
LEDs for net-
work ports
LED for theft
protection
The MxSwitch has the following LEDs:
• 4 LEDs to indicate activity on the network port above each LED.
• 1 LED lights up after pressing the push-button switch. The LED
stays on as long as the wires for deactivating the theft protec-
tion is powered (see the following
Section «Deactivating the Theft
2. Deactivating the Theft Protection
If the wires for deactivating the theft protection of a MOBOTIX frame
for a door station or an MxDisplay have been connected to the termi-
nals 17/18, you can press the push-button switch inside the module to
deactivate the theft protection of the attached frames for at least 90 sec.
During this time, you can use the supplied key or ruler to open the frames
and remove the door station modules or the MxDisplay, respectively.
Caution:
After connecting these wires,
always run a functional test
without modules in the frame
to make sure that disabling the theft
protection actually works (please see the pertinent product documen-
tation).
