Section 2.6, “Ingress Protection” Section 2.1 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM M969 is designed to be mounted on a panel by affixing the top and bottom flanges of the device to a panel using screws. IMPORTANT! Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards to the enclosure. As such, it is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some convectional...
The M23 power connector has five terminal pins, which means two power supply sources are allowed to power the RUGGEDCOM M969 with the M23 power connector. The RUGGEDCOM M969 supports dual redundant power supplies: Power Supply 1 (PS1) and Power Supply 2 (PS2).
Installation Guide Section 2.2.2 Power Supply Wiring The following illustrates how to connect the RUGGEDCOM M969 to a single or dual power supplies. NOTE • For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, a 250 VAC appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed. • For 88-300VDC rated equipment, a 300VDC appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed.

In cases where users require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid between Surge and Chassis Ground.
Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The Failsafe output relay is provided to signal critical error conditions that may occur on the RUGGEDCOM M969 series switches. The contacts are energized upon power up of the unit and remain energized until a critical error occurs.
Communication Ports Connect any of the available Ethernet ports on the device to a management switch and access the ROS console and Web interfaces via the device's IP address. The factory default IP address for the RUGGEDCOM M969 is https://192.168.0.1 For more information about available ports, refer to Chapter 3, Communication Ports...
Communication Ports Communication Ports The RUGGEDCOM M969 can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance. To determine which ports are equipped on the device, refer to the factory data file available through ROS. For more information on how to access the factory data file, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM M969.
Section 3.1 Copper Ethernet Ports The RUGGEDCOM M969 supports eight 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors or M12 male connectors. The RJ45/M12 connectors are directly connected to chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
