PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The N-TRON® 508TX Series Industrial Ethernet Switch offers outstanding
performance and ease of use. It is ideally suited for connecting Ethernet enabled
industrial and/or security equipment and can be optionally con gured with advanced
Ethernet communication management functions.
Industrial Packaging and Speci cations
The 508TX is designed to operate in industrial environments. It is housed in a
rugged DIN-rail-mounted steel enclosure. Optional panel and rack mount kits
are also available. The switch comes standard with extended temperature rating,
extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and a high MTBF
(greater than 2M hours).
Ease of Use
The 508TX requires no setup unless the advanced port functions are utilized.
The eight 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto con guring. Each port
automatically negotiates for maximum speed and performance by default. Bi-color
LEDs are provided to display the link status, link speed and activity of each port
as well as power on/off status.
Performance
The 508TX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses and uses advanced IEEE 802.3
Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology to eliminate network collisions
and increase network determinism. A high-speed processor and backplane allow
full-wire speed capability on all ports simultaneously.
(Remote Monitoring Using OPC Technology)
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FEATURES
The 508TX-A offers several management functions that can be easily con gured
using the COM Port (DB 9 connector located on the right side of the switch).
IGMP Snooping: Internet Group Management Protocol allows the N-Tron switch
to intelligently forward and lter multicast traf c.
VLAN: Virtual Local Area Network allows switch segmentation in order to create
two or more separate local area network domains.
QoS: Quality of Service streamlines network operation by managing packet
priority. 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 identically con gured trunking-
capable switch. This feature increases the bandwidth between switches and
creates redundancy for applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.
Port Mirroring: Port mirroring allows traf c on one port to be duplicated and
sent to a designated mirror port. This function can be used to monitor Ethernet
traf c on the designated source port using the assigned mirror port.
N-View OPC Switch Monitoring: (With -A or -N Option Only) N-View OPC
server software can be used with popular HMI software packages to transmit
operational information from N-View-capable switches. This technology enables
network traf c monitoring, as well as alarm and trending details. In all, the N-View
OPC Server collects 41 different traf c variables per port and ve system level
variables per switch, providing a complete overview of network load, service
quality, and packet traf c. Empowered with N-View OPC Server data, users can
resolve network problems faster and make more informed decisions about overall
system performance.
