IE200 Series

Industrial Ethernet Layer 2 Switches

Our ruggedized IE200 Industrial Ethernet switches provide enduring

performance in harsh environments, such as those found in manufacturing,
transportation and physical security. Offering high throughput, rich
functionality and advanced security features, IE200 switches deliver the

performance and reliability demanded by industrial deployments in the age of
the Internet of Things (IoT).

Overview

The IE200 Series wirespeed

Layer 2 switches are ideal for industrial
Ethernet applications. With a wide
operating temperature range of
between -40°C and 75°C, they tolerate
harsh and demanding environments,
such as those found in industrial and
outdoor deployment.

Device management is provided via
an Industry-standard CLI, SNMP,

Telnet, SSH, and the Allied Telesis

Management Framework™ (AMF). AMF
is unique to Allied Telesis managed
devices, offering simplified device
provisioning, recovery, and firmware
upgrade management.

Performance

These high-performing, cost-

effective switches meet the stringent
requirements of today’s industrial
networks. The robust IE200 series
provides network managers with
several key features—including port­based VLANs, IEEE 802.1p, QoS,
port trunking/link aggregation, port
mirroring, priority queues, and IEEE

802.1x security support.

With support for up to 2K MAC
addresses, the IE200 Series is the ideal
option for integrating management into
any network solution.

Securing the network edge

Ensuring data protection means
controlling network access. Protocols
such as IEEE 802.1X port-based
authentication guarantee that only
known users are connected to
the network. Unknown users who
physically connect can be segregated
into a pre-determined part of the
network. This offers network guests
Internet access, while ensuring the
integrity of private network data.

Gigabit and fast Ethernet support

The IE200 Series SFP ports support

both gigabit and Fast Ethernet Small
Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs). This
makes the IE200 Series ideal for
environments where gigabit fiber
switches will be phased in over time.

This allows for connectivity to the

legacy 100FX hardware until it is
upgraded to gigabit Ethernet.

Support for both speeds of SFPs allows
organizations to stay within budget as
they migrate to faster technologies.

High network resiliency

The IE200 Series supports highly stable

and reliable network switching with a
recovery time of less than 50ms.

You can customize the IE200 with the

most appropriate mechanism and
protocol to prevent network connection
failure. Choices include Allied Telesis
Ethernet Protection Switched Ring
(EPSRing™), and the standard
ITU -T G.8 032.

Configurable power budget

On the AT-IE200-6FP and

AT-IE200-6GP, you can configure both

the overall power budget and the power
feeding limit on a per-port basis, to
establish a close relationship between
the power sourcing feature and the
real capabilities of the external Power
Supply Unit (PSU).*

* Power supply must be compliant with local/national safety
and electrical code requirements. Select the supply with

the most appropriated output power derating curve.

Key Details

Allied Telesis Management
Framework (AMF)

ۼ AMF is a sophisticated suite of management tools

that provide a simplified approach to network
management. Common tasks are automated or
made so simple that the everyday running of a
network can be achieved without the need for
highly-trained, and expensive, network engineers.

ۼ Powerful features—like centralized management,

auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-provisioning
and auto-recovery—enable plug-and-play
networking and zero-touch management.

High Availability

ۼ EPSRing™ and ITU-T G.8032 enable a protected

ring capable of recovery within as little as 50ms.
These features are perfect for high performance
and high availabilit y.

ۼ Spanning Tree Protocol-compatible, RSTP; MSTP;

static Link Aggregation Group (LAG), and dynamic
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (L ACP) support.

Industry-leading Quality of Service
(QoS)

ۼ Comprehensive low-latency wirespeed QoS

provides flow-based traffic management with
full classification, prioritization, traffic shaping
and min/max bandwidth profiles. Enjoy boosted
network performance and guaranteed delivery
of business-critical Ethernet services and
applications. Time-critical services such as voice
and video take precedence over non-essential
services such as file downloads, maintaining
responsiveness of your applications.

Active Fiber Monitoring

ۼ Active Fiber Monitoring prevents eavesdropping

on fiber communications by monitoring received
optical power. If an intrusion is detected, the link
can be automatically shut down, or an operator
alert can be sent.

UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD)

ۼ UDLD is useful for monitoring fiber-optic links

between two switches tusing two single-direction
fibers to transmit and receive packets. UDLD
prevents traffic from being sent across a bad link,
by blocking the ports at both ends of the link in
the event that either the individual transmitter or
receiver for that connection fails.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol –
Media Endpoint Discovery
(LLDP – MED)

ۼ LLDP-MED extends LLDP basic network endpoint

discovery and management functions. LLDP-MED
allows for media endpoint specific messages,
providing detailed information on power
equipments, network policy, location discovery
(for Emergency Call Services) and inventory.

Voice VLAN

ۼ Voice VLAN automatically separates voice

and data traf fic into two different VLANs. This
automatic separation places delay-sensitive traffic
into a voice-dedicated VL AN, which simplifies
QoS configurations.

Security (Tri-Authentication)

ۼ Authentication options on the IE200 Series also

include alternatives to IEEE 802.1X port-based
authentication, such as web authentication to
enable guest access, and MAC authentication
for endpoints that do not have an IEEE 802.1X
supplicant. All three authentication methods—
IEEE 802.1X, MAC-based and Web-based—can
be enabled simultaneously on the same port for
tri-authentication.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

ۼ AlliedWare Plus delivers industry-standard access

control functionality through ACLs. ACLs filter
network traffic to control whether routed packets
are forwarded or blocked at the port interface.
This provides a powerful net work security
mechanism to select the types of traffic to be
analyzed, forwarded, or influenced in some way.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) Snooping

ۼ DHCP servers allocate IP addresses to clients,

and the switch keeps a record of addresses
issued on each port. IP source guard checks
against this DHCP snooping database to ensure
only clients with specific IP and/or MAC address
can access the network. DHCP Snooping can
be combined with other features, like dynamic
ARP inspection, to increase security in layer
2 switched environments. It also provides a
traceable history which meets the growing legal
requirements placed on service providers.

PoE and PoE+

ۼ IE200 is a Power over Ethernet Power Sourcing

Device (PoE PSD), which is compliant with
IEEE802.3af, IEEE802.3at standards. Each
port provides either 15.40W PoE with 12.95W
available to the powered device (IEEE802.3af,
IEEE802.3at Type 1), or 30.00W PoE+ with

25.50W available to the powered device
(IEEE802.3at Type 2). Practical use is to support
PTZ cameras with heater/blowers for outdoor
application, enhanced infrared lighting, lighting
controller and LED lighting fixtures, remote Point
of Sale (POS) kiosks, network switches, and many
other devices.

ۼ IE200 allows the configuration of the overall

power budget as well as the power feeding limit
on a per-port basis. This establishes a close
relationship between the power sourcing feature
and the real capabilities of the external PSU.

Non-Stop-PoE

ۼ Enabling the unique Non-Stop-PoE feature,

the switch retains PoE sourcing during
restart events, such as those due to operator
command, software exception, watchdog
timeout or diagnostic failures.

ۼ The restart event is not propagated to the end

devices, and camera operation is not affected.

Alarm Input/Output

ۼ Alarm Input/Output are useful for security

integration solution. They respond to events
instantly and automatically using a pre-defined
event scheme, and send alert messages to the
monitoring control center. The two-pin terminal
blocks may be connected to sensors and
actuator relays. Alarm Input receives signals
from external devices, like motion sensors or
magnets, and these will trigger subsequent
actions if something changes. Alarm output
controls external devices in the case of an event
for example sirens, strobes, and Pan-Tilt-Zoom
(PTZ) cameras.

Enhanced Thermal Shutdown

ۼ The enhanced Thermal Shutdown feature acts

when the switch exceeds the safe operating
temperature. It functions in a set of stages to
preserve services and prevent damage.

ۼ If the operating temperature reaches critical

levels, the system cuts the PoE sourcing to
non-critical interfaces first, then to critical
interfaces. If the temperature continues to rise,
all services are disabled and the system enters
standby mode. The system restores operation
when the temperature returns to an acceptable
level.

Premium Software License

ۼ Included in the IE200 Series is a comprehensive

layer 2 feature set, which includes IPv6
management features. This feature set can be
upgraded very easily by using premium
software licenses.
