If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS920L is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be attached to a DIN rail or panel.
2.3.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail The RUGGEDCOM RS920L can be ordered with a DIN rail adapter preinstalled on the back of the chassis. Use the adapter to mount the device to a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.
2.3.2 Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS920L can be equipped with panel adapters on the top and bottom of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact. Note Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through RUGGEDCOM RS920L. One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the "RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration Manual" for the RUGGEDCOM RS920L.
Common Normally Open Figure 2.4 Failsafe Alarm Relay Wiring Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS920L supports power input from a single high AC/DC or low DC power supply. Note • For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
Secure the power terminal block to the device. Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/live (+/L) terminal on the terminal block.

Universal and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports are physically indistinguishable from each other. However, the port type can be determined either from the order code or through the RUGGEDCOM RS920L user interface. EoVDSL ports can be connected using RJ11 male connectors. NOTICE Universal and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports (master or slave) must be connected to EoVDSL ports (slave or master) of the same type.
VDSL line, causing interruptions in communications. • Lower speeds are less susceptible to interference and will transmit greater distances over the same wiring than higher speeds. Use the minimum speed that will provide adequate data transfer speed. RUGGEDCOM RS920L Installation Manual, 11/2022, C79000-G8976-1032-11...
4.1.2 Configuration and Setup If the RUGGEDCOM RS920L 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.
