Advanced Management Functions
The
508TX-A
offers several management functions that can be
easily configured using the COM Port (DB 9 Connector located
on the right side of the switch).
IGMP Snooping
- Internet Group Management Protocol is
a feature that allows the
508TX-A
switch to forward and filter
multicast traffic intelligently.
VLAN
- Virtual Local Area Network allows segmentation of the
switch in order to create two or more separate local area network
domains.
QoS -
Quality of Service provides prioritization of network traffic
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 (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
configuration can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy to
applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.
Port Mirroring -
This
508TX-A
function allows the traffic on
one port to be duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port.
Port mirroring can be used to monitor Ethernet traffic on the
designated source port using the assigned mirror port.
N-View OPC Switch Monitoring (With -A or -N Option Only)
The
N-TRON
N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) server
software can be combined with popular HMI software packages
to add network traffic monitoring, trending and alarming to
any application using
N-TRON
switches configured with the
N-View option.
N-TRON's
N-View OPC Server collects 41
different traffic variables per port and 5 system level variables
per switch. This information can provide a complete overview
of the network load, service quality, and packet traffic. OPC
client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve
network problems quickly and improve system reliability.
Industrial Packaging and Specifications
The
N-TRON 508TX
is designed to operate in industrial
environments. It is housed in a rugged steel enclosure
that can be DIN-RAIL or panel mounted, and an optional
rackmount kit is also available. The
508TX
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
N-TRON 508TX
requires no setup unless the advanced
port functions are utilized. The eight 10/100BaseTX ports are
auto sensing and auto configuring. Each copper port is
automatically negotiated for maximum speed and performance
by default. Bi-color LED's are provided to display the link
status, link speed and activity of each port as well as power
on/off status.
Performance
The
N-TRON 508TX
uses "state of the art" IEEE
802.3 Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching
technology. This technology eliminates network collisions
and increases network determinism. Up to 4,000 MAC
addresses are supported enabling sophisticated and complex
network architectures. A high speed processor and backplane
allows wire speed capability on all ports simultaneously.
