Advanced Management Functions
The
526FX2-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
526FX2-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
526FX2
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 526FX2
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
526FX2
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 526FX2
requires no setup unless the advanced
port functions are utilized. The Twenty-Four 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 526FX2
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 al-
lows wire speed capability on all ports simultaneously.
