N-TRON 608MFX Ring Management Industrial Ethernet Switch

Built to Operate Reliably in Industrial Applications

The N-TRONTM 608MFX Industrial Ethernet Switch offers
outstanding performance, and ease of use. It is ideally suited for
connecting Ethernet enabled industrial and/or security equipment
requiring full SNMP management functions. The 608MFX also
provides redundant ring management.

Fiber Ring Management

The 608MFX redundancy manager performs high speed ring man­agement in the industrial control environment. This switching
system can be used in conjunction with other N-TRON switches
in order to create the most cost effective network ring solution
available for industrial applications. Two 608MFX units can be
coupled via their standby ports to provide dual rings for
complete hardware and fiber ring redundancy for applications
requiring this level of fault tolerant operation.

Industrial Packaging and Specifications

The N-TRON 608MFX is designed to operate in industrial
environments. It is housed in a rugged steel enclosure that can
be DIN-RAIL or Panel Mounted. Optional kits are available for
rackmount applications. It has extended industrial
specifications and features to meet or exceed the specifications
of the equipment it is connecting. These include extended
temperature ratings, extended shock and vibration specs,
redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 1M hours).

Ease of Use

The N-TRON

608MFX is a fully managed switch which can
be easily configured using a direct terminal connection, Telnet,
or standard SNMP browsers. Management functions include
filtering, port mirroring, event trapping, packet prioritization
(QoS), and port parameterization settings. A simple toggle
switch enables ring management on the 608MFX with no other
setup required. The 608MFX provides remote monitoring
(RMON) of port data. Six RJ-45 10/100BaseTX ports are auto
sensing and auto configuring. Each port is automatically
negotiated for maximum speed and performance by default.
LED's are provided to display the link status and activity of
each port as well as power on/off status.

Performance

The N-TRON

608MFX uses "state of the art" IEEE 802.3 Fast
Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology. This eliminates
network collisions and increases network determinism. 7,000
MAC addresses are supported enabling sophisticated and
complex network architectures. A high speed processor and
backplane allows full wire speed capability on all ports
simultaneously.

High Quality and Reliability

N-TRON

is a worldwide leader in Industrial Networking

technology and offers proven reliability and quality.
