FAQs:

1. What are the benefits for wide power input range (9.6 to 60 VDC)?
Answer: The original EDS-200 and EDS-300 series only support 12 to 45 VDC power
input range, but its not enough for some specific applications which need 48VDC power
input. Not only 12 or 24 VDC, the power input range of the EDS-200A series allows users
to use 48 VDC power input.
2. What are the benefits of DIP switch design (enable/disable broadcast storm
protction)?
Answer: The EDS-300/200A/200 unmanaged Ethernet switches are protected from
receving too many broadcast packet . During normal use, too many broadcast or multicast
packet would decreas the performance of the network.
But some industrial network communication is designed to use broadcast or multicast
packets between control devices (eg, PLC, RTU). Therefore, the EDS-200A series
provides manual Enable/Disable function by DIP swithch to meet different requirement and
industrial applications.
