RUGGEDCOM RS910L Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
Section 2.7.2 Connecting Low DC Power RUGGEDCOM RS910L's equipped with 24 or 48 V power supply inputs feature reverse polarity protection and dual power supply inputs allowing the device to accept redundant connections to a single DC power supply. To connect a low DC power supply to the device, do the following: NOTE Torque all terminal connections to 0.6 N·m (5 lbf-in).
Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the RUGGEDCOM ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS910L. IMPORTANT! Ethernet cables should be only be connected/disconnected in a non-hazardous area, or when the device is not energized.

Section 3.1 Copper Ethernet Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS910L supports multiple 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 receptacles are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
RUGGEDCOM RS910L Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Section 3.2 Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports Fiber optic Ethernet ports are available with either MTRJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack), LC (Lucent Connector), SC (Standard or Subscriber Connector) or ST (Straight Tip) connectors. Make sure the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) connections of each port are properly connected and matched to establish a proper link.

Master and pushed to the Slave. Data flowing from the Master to the Slave is designated downstream, while data flowing from the Slave to the Master is designated upstream. Siemens supports two types of EoVDSL: • Universal EoVDSL Universal EoVDSL ports are Master/Slave selectable and offer symmetric data rates (upstream and downstream) up to 35 Mbps.
Section 3.3.2 Configuration and Setup If the RUGGEDCOM RS910L and another device both have Universal EoVDSL ports, configure one device to be the Master and the other the Slave. If both devices have a Long-Reach EoVDSL port, no Master/Slave configuration is necessary, since the ports will already be fixed as Master or Slave.
Once configured and connected together, each device will attempt to achieve the maximum speed based on the line length and conditions. The RUGGEDCOM RS910L's Link/Act LED may flash on and off several times before setting on a final link speed and declaring the port up.
