1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port
The gigabit Ethernet ports on the EDS-510A-1GT2SFP and EDS-510A-3SFP
are 1000BaseSFP Fiber ports, which require using the gigabit mini-GBIC
fiber transceivers to work properly. MOXA provides completed transceiver
models for different distance requirement.

The concept behind the LC port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose
that you are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical signals, optical
signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of
the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the
other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for
full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive)
port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit)
port of device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two
sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown
below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
EDS-510A series are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet switches. The
proprietary Turbo Ring protocol was developed by MOXA to provide better
network reliability and faster recovery time. MOXA Turbo Ring’s recovery
time is less than 300 ms-compared to a 3- to 5-minute recovery time for
commercial switches-decreasing the possible loss caused by network failures in
an industrial setting. There are 4 Hardware DIP Switches for Turbo Ring on the
top panel of EDS-510A that can be used to set up the Turbo Ring easily within
seconds.
