1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port
The gigabit Ethernet ports on the EDS-510A-1GT2SFP and
EDS-510A-3SFP are 1000BaseSFP Fiber ports, which require using the
gigabit mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly. Moxa provides
completed transceiver models for different distance requirement. Please
refer to Specifications section for more optical fiber information.
The concept behind the LC port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose that you are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical
signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data.
Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device
I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device
II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive)
port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit)
port of device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two
sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown
below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
EDS-510A series are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet
switches. The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol was developed by Moxa to
provide better network reliability and faster recovery time. Moxa Turbo
Ring’s recovery time is less than 300 ms (
Turbo Ring
) or 20 ms (
Turbo
Ring V2
) —compared to a 3- to 5-minute recovery time for commercial
switches—decreasing the possible loss caused by network failures in an
industrial setting.
There are 4 Hardware DIP Switches for Turbo Ring on the top panel of
EDS-510A that can help setup the Turbo Ring easily within seconds. If you
do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to setup the Turbo Ring, you
can use a web browser, telnet, or console to disable this function.
NOTE
Please refer to the
Turbo Ring DIP Switch
