Advanced Management Functions
The
508TX-A
easily confi gured using the COM Port (DB 9 Connector located
on the right side of the switch).
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is
a feature that allows the
multicast traffi c intelligently.
VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network allows segmentation of the
switch in order to create two or more separate local area network
domains.
QoS - Quality of Service provides prioritization of network traffi c
in order to provide better network service. The primary goal of
QoS is to improve the latency of prioritized Ethernet packets
required for ring management, real-time and other interactive
applications.
Trunking - Trunking (aggregation) enables multiple physical
ports to be linked together and function as one uplink to another
N-TRON
thereby increasing the bandwidth between switches. This
confi guration can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy to
applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.
Port Mirroring - This
one port to be duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port.
Port mirroring can be used to monitor Ethernet traffi c o n t h e
designated source port using the assigned mirror port.

per switch. This information can provide a complete overview
of the network load, service quality, and packet traffi c. OPC
client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve
network problems quickly and improve system reliability.
Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations

environments. It is housed in a rugged steel enclosure
that can be DIN-RAIL or panel mounted, and an optional
rackmount kit is also available. The
extended temperature rating, extended shock and vibration specs,
redundant power inputs, and a high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).
Ease of Use
The
N-TRON 508TX
port functions are utilized. The eight 10/100BaseTX ports are
auto sensing and auto configuring. Each copper port is
automatically negotiated for maximum speed and performance
by default. Bi-color LED's are provided to display the link
status, link speed and activity of each port as well as power
on/off status.
Performance
The

802.3 Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching
technology. This technology eliminates network collisions
and increases network determinism. Up to 4,000 MAC
addresses are supported enabling sophisticated and complex
network architectures. A high speed processor and backplane
allows wire speed capability on all ports simultaneously.
