608MFX Industrial Ethernet Switch
The N-TRON 608MFX is a product derivative of the OSM/ESM family
jointly manufactured by Siemens and N-TRON. The N-TRON 608MFX
upports high speed layer 2 switching between ports, and is housed in a
ruggedized steel enclosure, and can withstand industrial temperatures, as
well as high shock & vibration, and caries an MTBF in excess of 1M hours.
The 608MFX is an 8 port ruggedized Ethernet switch that is capable of auto
negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications on 6 copper
ports, and contains two 100BaseFX Fiber Optic ports.
The 608MFX is a managed switch that supports SNMP management
software, as well as configuration by a CLI (Command Line Interface –
Serial Port), Telnet, and/or Web based browsers.
The 608MFX can also serve as a redundancy manager, detect faults in ring
topologies and allow high-speed ring network healing, thus providing media
redundancy for mission critical control applications.

608MFX/608MFXE Hazardous Location Installation Requirements
1. WARNING! Do not disconnect while circuit is live, unless area is known
to be non-hazardous.
2. WARNING! Install only in accordance with Local & National Codes of
Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
3. Class I, Div 2 installations requires that all devices connected to this
product must be approved for the area in which it is installed.
4. Only hazardous location approved wiring with temperature ratings greater
than 80OC permitted for Class I, Div 2 installations operating at
temperatures up to 60OC ambient.
Personnel Qualification Requirements
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install and work on this
equipment. Qualified personnel are defined as individuals who are
familiar with the installation, assembly, startup, and operation of this
product and who possess the relevant qualifications for their work, e.g.:
•Training in or authorization for connecting up, grounding, or
labeling circuits and devices or systems in accordance with current
standards in safety technology.
•Training in or authorization for the maintenance and use of suitable
safety equipment in accordance with current standards in safety
technology.
•First aid qualification.

DIN-Rail Mounting
Install the unit in a standard 35mm Din-Rail. Recess the unit to allow
at least 3” of clearance for fiber optic cable bend radius, and 2 inches
for TX cables and power connections. Please note the 608MFX must
be installed in the vertical orientation for cooling purposes. In this
orientation, the power connector is at the top of the unit, and the signal
cables exit from the bottom of the unit.
19” Rack Mounting
19” Rack mount kits are available. Please consult with your local sales
representative for price & availability. Order part # 900RMK.
APPLYING POWER
1. Unscrew the flange & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from
the Header.
2. Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug(s) (observing polarity
per the legend on the top of the unit). L1+ and L2+ are the +24V
connections. M1 and M2 are the minus (-) returns for L1 and L2
respectively. F1 and F2 terminals are across the contact switch
that opens to signify a fault detection. Voltage/Current for F1/F2
is limited to 24V @ 100mA.
3. Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the side header. All LED’s
will flash ON Momentarily.
4. The unit will complete the power up cycle in approximately 20
seconds.
Note: Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal
operation. For redundant power operation, L1 and L2 terminals must
be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. Use wire sizes 14-28
gauge.
Recommended 24V DC power supplies, similar to:
120/240VAC:
Sola SPDI –24-100
24VDC at 1.3A 0-60C
NTRON Part Number: SDP1

CONNECTING THE STANDARD RING
Remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the
fiber optic cables.
Please refer to the Figure 1. Diagram.
To begin the ring, the TX out-port #7 should be connected to the RX
in-port #8 of the far end station. The RX in-port #7 should be
connected to the TX out-port #8 on the far end station.
Likewise, the TX out-port #8 should be connected to the RX in-port #7
of the far end station completing the ring. The RX in-port #8 should be
connected to the TX out-port #7 on the far end station.
Note:Port7 must be connected to Port8 for proper operation.

Ports
10
For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5 (or better) twisted pair cable
into one of the RJ45 copper ports (1-6). Connect the other end to the far
end station. Verify that the Port LED’s are ON once the connection has
been completed. For Switch to Switch or Switch to Repeater connections, a
crossover cable may be required if the connecting unit does not support the
HP-MDIX auto cable detect feature. For 10/100BaseTX operation, the
608MFX will sense & adapt accordingly.
A maximum number of 50 608MFX’s can be connected in a ring.
CONNECTING MULTIPLE RINGS
For multiple rings, the connection between two network segments is made
on two separate paths. Two of the 608MFX’s in a ring are connected
together via a connection cable with an ITP cable (maximum length of
40m), and inform each other of their operating states. One of the 608MFX
units is assigned the redundant function using the DIP switch setting “Stby
on” (Standby Slave). The other 608MFX unit takes over the function of the
Standby Master, with the DIP switch setting “Stby off” (See Figure 2).
Because of the 50-unit ring limit, for larger networks, the user must
configure multiple rings. By using the Master/Slave Standby approach to
couple rings together, the user can enlarge the network by chaining
segments.
Port Assignment in the Standby Mode
On the Standby Master and Standby Slave only port #1 (default standby
port) can be used for the coupling to the neighboring ring. Connect the #1
ports together using a CAT5E crossover cable between switches. Ports 2-6
can be used just as normal switch ports.
Simultaneous Standby and Redundancy Manager Operation
A standby master or standby slave can adopt the function of a redundancy
manager at the same time.
