526FX2 Industrial Ethernet Switch

526FX2-A

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FEATURES

The 526FX2-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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The N-TRON® 524FX2 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 524FX2, designed to operate in industrial environments, is housed in a

rugged rackmounted steel enclosure. The switch comes standard with extended
temperature rating, extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs,

and a high MTBF (greater than 1M hours).

Ease of Use

The 526FX2 requires no setup unless the advanced port functions are utilized.

The twenty-four 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto con guring. Each
copper port automatically negotiates for maximum speed and performance by

default. The  ber optic ports support full 200Mb/s communications via 100BaseFX.
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 526FX2 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 provide
outstanding throughput performance.
