Management Features

The 7018FX2 offers several management functions that can be easily
confi gured using a web browser.

IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol allows the

7018FX2 switch to forward and fi lter multicast traffi c 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. QoS improves the latency of
prioritized Ethernet packets required for ring management, real-time,
and other interactive applications.

Port Trunking - Trunking (link aggregation) enables multiple physical
ports to be linked together and function as one uplink to another
N-TRON trunking capable switch confi gured in the same manner,
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 - Allows the traffi c on one port to be duplicated and sent
to a designated mirror port. Port mirroring is used to monitor Ethernet
traffi c on the designated source port using the assigned mirror port.

DHCP-DHCP Server / Client automates the assignment of IP addresses.
DHCP Option 82 assures that if a device on a specifi c port is replaced,
the replacement receives the same IP address as the original device.

RSTP allows the switch to be confi gured in a ring or mesh topology,

Remote Monitoring Options

For ease of confi guration and monitoring, the 7018FX2 offers web
browser management and N-View OLE for process control (OPC) server
software. The N-TRON N-View software can be combined with popular
HMI software packages to add network traffi c monitoring, trending,
and alarming to any application using N-TRON switches In addition,
SNMP is available for switch link and status monitoring. The alarm
contact and status LED can be confi gured to respond to power failure
on power input 1 or input 2, N-Ring broken, partial break high, partial
break low, or if multiple ring managers are detected.

N-Ring Technology

N-TRON's 7018FX2 ring manager using N-TRON's N-Ring technology
offers expanded ring size capacity, detailed fault diagnostics, and
a standard healing time of ~30ms. The 7018FX2 ring 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
topology within ~30ms.

fully managed switches, a detailed ring map and fault location chart
will also be provided on the ring manager’s web browser and OPC
server to identfy the health status of the ring.

linking of two N-Rings. Up to 250 fully managed N-TRON switches
can participate in N-Ring topologies.

Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations

The 7018FX2 is designed to operate in industrial environments. It is
housed in a rugged steel DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended industrial
specifi cations and features to meet or exceed the operating parameters
of connected equipment. These include extended temperature ratings,
extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and high
MTBF (greater than 2M hours).

Ease of Use

The 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto configuring.
Each copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed
and performance by default, but can also be hard coded through the
user interface. The two optional gigabit ports support full 2000 Mb/s
communications via 1000BaseSX/LX/T. For added fl exibility, these
SFP (Mini-GBIC) gigabit transceivers are fi eld upgradable or can be
factory installed at the time of purchase.
