About the product

Congratulations on purchasing the Halonex® Wall Module 4!

In front of you is a managed 4 ports (RJ45) micro switch with 2 Easy Lock™ Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) ports. Below you will find a quick overview of the highlights.

Ports

The switch has:

  • 4x RJ45 ports 1 Gbit
  • 2x Easy Lock™ POF 1 Gbit ports

Easily connected

Using the Easy Lock™ ports connecting to the network was never easier. Connecting a custom size cable can be done in just 4 simple steps:

  • Cut the POF cable to size
  • Open the Easy Lock™ port
  • Push the POF cable in
  • Close the Easy Lock™ port

No more fiddling with RJ45 connectors!

Redundant network

Using POF your network can be connected in a ring or daisy chain, rather than the traditional star topology; star topology however remains a possibility. Besides the obvious benefits of less cable, less installation time, less pollution and more flexibility your network also becomes redundant. Just connect all devices in a ring and the switch will automatically use RSTP making your network connection redundant.

Easy cloud commissioning

When powering on the switch it will automatically ask for its configuration from FCS, the FiberUnlimited Cloud Services. Saving you time to configure it by hand.

For a full specification refer to the datasheet at www.fiberunlimited.com/manuals.

Warnings & Precautions

Please read the following warnings and precautions carefully.

Remove power from power lines

Make sure and verify that the power running towards the device is OFF before installing the device.
Tip: Switch off the phase you are working with.

Do not stare into POF ports & POF cables

Refrain from looking directly into the POF ports or the ends of the POF cable. The used optics emit a red color so you can see the light in order to establish the correct way of installing the cables. The red light is LED based and not harmful. However, staring into the light for a prolonged period can result in eye irritations or worse.

Use the proper tools for installation

When installing the devices make sure to use proper tools that are purpose made for the job at hand. Using the wrong tools may result in injury.

Never insert tools and materials that are conductive into the device

You may get an electrical shock when inserting tools and materials that are conductive into the device. Please refrain from using such tools and materials for these purposes.

Follow construction regulations

For your own personal safety always follow the construction warnings and regulations when installing the device.

Do not open the device

By opening the device all warrantee’s and guarantees will terminate.

Hardware installations

Need to know

The following items need to be taken into account when installing the Halonex® Wall Module 4

Needed tools & accessories

Item Quantity
Torx (T20) screw driver 1
Flathead/Slotted screwdriver 1
(Professional) POF cable cutter 1

Installation

Step 1

Connect the AC electrical wires into the device, ground wire is not required.

Wire preparation:

  • Use solid copper wire 1,5 – 2,5mm2
  • Strip 8,5 to 9,5 mm of wire

Connecting the wire:

  • Press the terminal (L/N) you want to connect with a flathead screwdriver
  • Insert the wire;
  • Remove the screwdriver.

Step 2

Remove the protective Easy Lock™ caps (a).

Note: only proceed with this step if the POF cable is being installed immediately. Otherwise, leave the cap in place to prevent dust and particles to enter the Easy Lock™ port.

  • Open the Easy Lock™ port by pulling outwards;
  • Remove the protective cap by pulling it away from the device.

Step 3

Prepare the POF cable and connect it to the device.

POF cable preparation:

  • Make sure the POF cable is cut at a perfect 90 degree angle using a POF cable cutter. Also remove any residue from the cable.
  • Carefully split about 4 cm of the POF cable into 2 single cables. One TX one RX cable.

Cable indication:
Dark – no light is being emitted
Shining – a red light is being emitted

Inserting the POF cable:

  • Open the Easy Lock™ by pulling outwards;
  • Determine the TX and RX on the cable. Never insert a shining fiber into a shining port or vice versa!
  • Determine the TX and RX of the device. When holding the device like depicted and looking straight at the Easy Lock™ port; the left opening is the TX side on the device indicated with a solid dot (pic) and will be the side that is transmitting light when the device is turned on. you can easily remember this by the fraise; “Left is Light.”
  • Insert the POF cable

Note 1: When power is shut down you can always distinguish the TX and RX by looking for the marker on one of the fibers.

Note 2: Push the cable all the way to the back of the port until you cannot go any further (approximately 2cm). This ensures that the optics are as close to the cable as possible.

Failure to do so will result in significant loss of throughput and maybe even no connection at all.

  • Close the Easy Lock™ port by pushing firmly inwards. This will lock the POF cable in place.

 

Step 4

Install the device into a deep installation box and/or cable duct with a dept of min. 60mm.

Verification

Step 1

Turn on the device by providing power the device

Step 2

Check connections and boot:

Both Easy Lock™ ports have status LED-indicators with a flashing green light (e). This indicates that both Easy Lock™ ports are active. From that moment on the device is fully booted and ready for operation.

There is a slot for reset with screwdriver (b)

Troubleshooting

Experiencing problems during the setup of the device? Find the applicable symptom below for suggestions on how to fix it.

Symptom Suggestion

No network traffic
POF port down / not connected

Check if all POF cables are connected properly.

  • The side of the POF cable that emits RED light must be connected to the DARK side of the Easy Lock™ port of the connecting device and vice versa.
  • Make sure the Easy Lock™ port is clean. All particles that can block the light must be removed using compressed air.
  • Make sure that the POF cables has been cut properly. Refer to 4c) – Installation – POF cable preparation:

POF port link is up and no network traffic

Check if the switch has shut down the POF port

  • If the quality of the connection of a POF port is low the POF port will be shutdown. Reopen the port in the management interface or restart the switch.

Slow throughput
Connection drops
Only connection at short distances

Check if the POF cable is inserted deep enough in the Easy Lock™ ports and connected properly.

  • Refer to 4c) – Installation – POF cable preparation:
  • Make sure the Easy Lock™ port and cable is clean. All particles that can block the light must be removed using compressed air.

Tip: Check both ends of the POF cable.

My device cannot communicate

Check if the power supply is functioning by verifying if the AC power has been turned on.

Check that the RJ45 port has been activated.

Check if the VLAN settings on the incoming port on the switch are the same as the outgoing port of your network device.
