Introduction The RUGGEDCOM RS900 is a 9-port utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demand- ing environments. The RUGGEDCOM RS900 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic in- terference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets.
Introduction 1.3 Required Tools and Materials Power Supply Terminal Block Figure 1.1 RUGGEDCOM RS900 POWER LED Illuminates green when power is supplied to the device. ALARM LED Illuminates red when an alarm condition exists. Console Port The serial console port is for interfacing directly with the device and accessing initial management functions.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with de- vices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e.

Communication Ports 4.1 Copper Ethernet Ports WARNING Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment inter- ference When shielded cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
Communication Ports 4.2 Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports Fiber optic Ethernet ports are available with either MTRJ (Mechanical Transfer Reg- istered 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.
