4. Features

 Railway standard applicable

This product obtained various standards required for the railway applications.

EN55032, EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3, EN55024

EN50155 *, EN45545-2, EN60068-2-1, and EN61373 (* Type test conducted)

 Fan-less design that reduces maintenance and

inspection work

This product's spindle-less design eliminates CPU fan, and relieves the concern about dust or foreign matter to get into the product.

The using parts that degrade over time is minimized to facilitate maintenance.

 PoE(IEEE802.3at) power reception and adaptable to a

wide-range power of 10.8 - 33.6VDC

The product is adaptable to PoE(IEEE802.3at) power reception and capable of dealing with a wide range of power between 10.8 and

33.6VDC in the differing environment.

In addition, both power supplies can be switched seamlessly (such as turning on the both power and disconnecting one of them. Applying

DC power during PoE operation and disconnecting PoE).

 M12 connecter interface

M12 connector is adopted for LAN(1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T) and for DC power.

For LAN : M12 8pin X-Coded connector x 2

For DC : M12 4pin A-Coded connector x 1

 Excellent environmental capabilities

Capable of operating in the various ambient temperature environment of with vibration and shock resistance.

-40 - +70°C (With 1000BASE-T: -40 - +65°C), airflow 0.5m/s

-40 - +60°C (With 1000BASE-T: -40 - +55°C), no airflow

Vibration resistance 5G, Shock resistance 100G

 Contributing to running cost reduction and energy

efficiency

Adopting the low-power platform of Intel® AtomTM Processor E3845 achieves lower power consumption while still ensuring sufficient

performance.

1. FCC PART 15 Class B Notice

NOTE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC WARNING

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user's authority to operate the equipment.

2. EN50155 Notice

Individual test on the items of the EN50155 power supply listed below has been conducted on the AC

power side of the PoE power supply unit (POW-CB60AT).

3. Security Warning

When connecting to the network, be aware of security-related problems. See the examples of

Security measures below and set up the product properly along with the network devices.

1. Information security risks

 Unauthorized access from the outside through a network could cause the system halt, data

damage, or exposure to malware. *1

 Invaded and used as a stepping stone, a device might attack the others through networks. (a

victim becomes an assailant)

 Information might leak without realizing due to the connection to the network.

 Secondary damages such as harmful rumors, liability in damages, social credibility fall, and

opportunity loss are expected led by the troubles described above.

*1: Malware (Malicious Software) is software that brings harm to a computer system and performs

unintended operations.

2. Security measures – e.g.

 Do not keep using the default password. (Refer to the product manual for the password

setting).

 Set a strong password.

Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily

analogized by others.

 Change the password periodically.

 Disable unnecessary network services and functions.

 Restrict access to the network with network devices. *2

 Restrict ports to be released on the network with network devices. *2

 Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN*3

*2: Inquire for setting procedure to manufacturers.

*3: VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secured network that wards off unauthorized access by

protecting the communication path with authentication and encryption.

Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to avert unauthorized access or close a security hole

that are endlessly found day and night.

Please understand that risks are always involved with the Internet connection, and we strongly

recommend a user should constantly update information security measures.
