IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is a feature

that allows the
intelligently.

VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network allows you to segment 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 (link 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 function allows the traffi c on one port to be
duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port. Port mirroring can
be used to monitor Ethernet traffi c on the designated source port
using the assigned mirror port.

Rapid Spanning Tree - This function allows the switch to be
confi gured in a ring or mesh topology, and provides support for
redundant path communications with high speed (rapid) healing.

manager periodically checks the health of the ring via packets. If
the ring manager stops receiving these health check packets, it con­verts the Ring to a linear bus topology within ~30ms. When all

Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations

The
is housed in a rugged steel DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended
industrial specifications and features to meet or exceed the
operating parameters of the connected equipment. These include
extended temperature ratings, extended shock and vibrations specs,
redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).

Ease of Use

The 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto confi guring.
Each copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed
and performance by default, but can also be hard coded using the
user interface. A high speed processor allows wire speed capability
on all 100BaseTX ports simultaneously.
