Management Features

The 708TX offers several management functions that can be easily
confi gured using a web browser.

IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is
a feature that allows the 708TX switch to forward and filter
multicast traffic 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. 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 (link aggregation) enables multiple physical
ports to be linked together and function as one uplink to another
N-TRON trunking capable switch configured 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 - This function allows the traffi c on one port to be
duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port. Port mirroring can
be used to monitor Ethernet traffi c on the designated source port
using the assigned mirror port.

Rapid Spanning Tree - This function allows the switch to be
confi gured in a ring or mesh topology, and provides support for
redundant path communications with high speed (rapid) healing.

Remote Monitoring Options

For ease of confi guration and monitoring, the 708TX offers web
browser management and N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC)
server software. N-TRON's 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

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.

available for switch link and status monitoring.

N-Ring Technology

The 708TX 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 708TX 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 bus topology within ~30ms. When all switches in
the ring are N-TRON 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.

N-Link allows the 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 708TX 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 the connected equipment. These include extended
temperature ratings, extended shock and vibrations specs, redundant
power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).

Ease of Use

The 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto confi guring.
Each copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed
and performance by default, but can also be hard coded using the
user interface. A high-speed processor allows wire speed capability
on all 100BaseTX ports simultaneously.
