3.3 LED Definition:
System
| LED | Color | Function |
|---|---|---|
| PWR | Green | Lights to indicate DC power input has power. |
Per 10/100BASE-TX Port
| LED | Color | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 10/100 LNK/ACT | Green | Lights: Indicating the port is running at 10/100Mbps and successfully established. Blinks: Indicating that the switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port. |
3.4 Top View
Image of the top panel of the ISW-500T-E, showing the 4-pin terminal block for DC power input (V1+, V1-, V2+, V2-) labeled PWR1 and PWR2, and a third power input connector labeled PWR3, along with a ground connection symbol.
3.5 Wiring the Power Inputs
The 4-contact terminal block connector on the top panel is used for two DC redundant power inputs. Follow these steps to insert the power wire:
⚠️ Caution: When inserting wires or tightening screws, ensure the power is OFF to prevent electric shock.
1. Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 for POWER 1, or contacts 3 and 4 for POWER 2.

Note:
- The wire gauge for the terminal block should be between 12 and 24 AWG.
- The DC power input range is 12V ~ 55V DC.
3.6 Grounding the Device
Users MUST complete grounding wired with the device. Failure to do so may result in fatal damage from lightning strikes. EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
