The ERn Ethernet Switch module installs in the bottom option module tray of the ERn enclosure, replacing
the blank module that ships in the ERn from the factory. The bottom option slot is the only position for the
Ethernet switch module.
The ERn Ethernet switch (ERn-NET) provides four ports of Power over Ethernet (PoE). The ERn Ethernet
switch kit includes an option module, Ethernet patch panel, Ethernet switch panel, and B Ethernet patch
cables.
The Ethernet patch panel includes four punch down terminal blocks that accept CAT5e wire. Building wire
enters the ERn enclosure and terminates to this patch panel. For each Ethernet data run, an Ethernet patch
cable is provided to connect between the Ethernet patch panel and the Ethernet switch panel.
Install the Ethernet Switch Option
1: Install the Ethernet patch panel to the mounting studs on the rear panel of the ERn enclosure using
the hardware provided.
2: Install the Ethernet switch panel to the mounting studs on the bottom panel of the ERn enclosure
using the hardware provided. Be sure to install the panel with the card edge receptacle facing the
front of the ERn enclosure.
Note:
The Ethernet switch module (ERn-NET) is not designed for use in a rack mounted ERn
unit. Instead, utilize a rack mounted Ethernet switch (provided by others).
Additionally, the ERn-NET is not supported in an ERn4 enclosure at 230 VAC.
