CNGE5MS

ENVIRONMENTALLY HARDENED MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH
WITH (3) 10/100/1000BASE-TX & (2) 10/100/1000BASE-TX/FX
COMBO PORTS

v1.4 February 21, 2013

The ComNet™ CNGE5MS is a hardened, industrial five port all gigabit managed
Ethernet switch. It has three 10/100/1000Base-TX and two Gigabit combo ports
that utilize ComNet Small Form Factor (SFP) pluggable modules for the selection of
fiber and connector type and distance. The IEEE 802.3 compliant unit is a redundant
switch offering multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols, C-Ring, ComRing, C-RSTP
and MSTP/RSTP/STP. This redundancy feature protects your applications from network
interruptions or temporary malfunctions by redirecting transmission within the
network. The CNGE5MS offers centralized and convenient management through a
windows-based utility called eConsole. Redundant DC power inputs provide non-stop
operation in case of power supply disruption. The backup power input will take over
immediately when the primary DC power input fails. The unit provides relay outputs
that can be set up to indicate events and notify in case of potential problems.

Overview

Introduction

The CNGE5MS is a powerful, managed, hardened Ethernet switch that contains many features.
The switch will work under a wide variety of temperature, dirty and humid conditions. It can be
managed through WEB, TELNET, Consol or other third-party SNMP software. The CNGE5MS also
can be managed by a utility called eConsole.

eConsole is network management software that is very effective. With easy to use and intuitive
interface, you can easily configure multiple switches at the same time, and monitor the status of
those switches.

This section provides instruction on configuration through the Web browser.

About Web-based Management

An embedded HTML web site resides in the flash memory on the CPU board. It contains
advanced management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The Web-Based Management function supports Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. It utilizes Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and
present an easy viewing screen.

Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to

explicitly modify the browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
