Overview

LNX-204 is a LAN multiplexer to switch 4 channel LAN ports. LNX-204 can change the port by three ways: send simple command from PC via LAN, input control signal from an external contact point or change switches of the product body. This is very useful to switch external network to internal network, and to connect with the network only when required.
It can promote labor-saving for inspection process and auto-inspection system of LAN devices.

Features

  • Switch Ethernet wires by multiplexer IC
    no need to insert and pull out the cable
  • Switch a port from a distance via Ethernet and or an external contact point
    Swich a port via a virtual COM port is also available by using our original application, LNX-VCP
  • Switch a port manually by changing switch of the product body
  • Because unconnected port is not connected, it's possible to use it as a simple firewall
  • Easy configuration by microSD
    • Easy to restore the setting data at the time of replacement
    • Easy to send the setting data by e-mail
    • No restriction for IP address setting, out of the network segment
    • Easy to backup the setting data
  • Configuration via Ethernet is also available by using original setting tool
  • Power for the main body supports PoE, powered via LAN cable
    switching port does not support PoE
  • AC adapter is included in the package
  • FG terminal is equipped
  • All LAN ports are protected from ESD
  • Non-use of 10 Restricted substances of RoHS directive
  • MADE IN JAPAN

Connection Examples

Change common port LAN or external network to LAN1-4

(*1) The operation of this product is confirmed with 10/100/100 BASE-T. But the product is inserted between LAN cables, speed reduction can be occurred. The communication speed is not guaranteed.
When the LAN cable is long, using giga bit corresponding switching hub may improve the speed reduction.

LNX Setting Tool

 Using this application, you can easily to make a configuration data of the LNX series.
LNX-204 setting tool

After saving the configuration data to the microSD card, please insert it to the product. Then the setting data, WR_DATA.TXT, will be read automatically when the product is powered on. At that time, the read data is backup in the microSD card as RD_DATA.TXT.
The setting data is stored in the product. No need to indsert the microSD card next time.
When replacing LNX series, just insert the same microSD card then you could restore the same setting.
When your PC is in the same segment as LNX series, you can also control the setting via ethernet.
