Caution: To have the waterproof effect, connectors must be totally tightened; otherwise, it would invalidate your warranty.

Note: Before connecting the DC power cord, please check whether your local DC power source is stable.

4. M12 X-coded Connector Pin Assignment

The IGS-5227-6MT-X front panel provides six 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports in the form of M12 8-pin X-coded female connector. These ports are designed for Ethernet equipment connection through Cat5/5e UTP cables. The M12 8-pin X-coded input interface pinout is shown below:

[Diagram: Circular connector with 8 pins labeled 1 through 8, with pin 7 and 8 having a different orientation. A table shows pin assignments and corresponding signals.]

5. M12 (8-pin, X-coded Male) to RJ45 (8-pin) Straight-through UTP Cabling

[Diagram: M12 8-pin X-coded male connector and an RJ45 8-pin connector connected by a cable.]

Note: As each Ethernet port of the Industrial Managed Switch is running in auto negotiation mode, make sure the Ethernet ports of the corresponding Ethernet devices are also running in auto negotiation mode; otherwise, the Ethernet performance will be poor.

6. Connecting M12 Cable to the IGS-5227-6MT-X

Follow all the connecting M12 cable to the IGS-5227-6MT-X steps as shown in the example.

1. Turn counterclockwise to remove the waterproof screw nuts of an M12 connector and power input.

   [Image: Two PLANET switches, one with screw nuts being removed from ports]

2. Insert the M12 UTP male connector into the M12 female Gigabit Ethernet port of the Industrial Managed Switch.

Caution: To have the waterproof effect, connectors must be totally tightened; otherwise, it would invalidate your warranty.

Note: Before connecting the DC power cord, please check whether your local DC power source is stable.

7. M12 DC Power Cable Pin Assignment

The front panel of the Industrial Managed Switch provides one M12 DC power 5-pin male connector for DC power input. Please use the power cable with the M12 DC power 5-pin female connector from the Industrial Managed Switch package for DC power input. The M12 DC power cable pin assignment is shown below:

[Diagram: Circular M12 5-pin connector with pins labeled V1+, V1-, V2+, V2-. A table shows pin assignments and corresponding wire colors.]

Note: Make sure you connect the correct power pin to your DC power source.

• The wire gauge for the power cable should be in the range of 12 ~ 24 AWG.
• The DC power input range is 9 ~ 48V DC.

Note: There are two methods to install the Industrial Managed Switch: DIN-rail mounting and wall-mount plate mounting. For more detailed information, please refer to Chapter 2.3 of the user's manual.

8. Requirements

Workstations running Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista/7/8/10/11, MAC OS X or later, Linux, UNIX, or other platforms are compatible with TCP/IP protocols.

Workstations are installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card).

Ethernet Port Connection

• Network cables: Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
• The above PC is installed with Web browser.

Note: It is recommended to use Google Chrome or above to access the Industrial Managed Switch. If the Web interface of the Industrial Managed Switch is not accessible, please turn off the anti-virus software or firewall and then try it again.

9. Starting Web Management

The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Industrial Managed Switch. Note the Industrial Managed Switch is configured through an Ethernet connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP subnet address.

For example, the default IP address of the Industrial Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

[Diagram: Network diagram showing a Managed Switch with IP address 192.168.0.100 connected via RJ45/UTP Cable to a PC/Workstation with Web Browser with IP address 192.168.0.x]

Logging in to the Industrial Managed Switch

1. Use Google Chrome or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.0.100 (default IP address) to access the Web interface.
