The
716TX
offers several management functions that can be easily
congured using a Web Browser.
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is a feature
that allows the
716TX
switch to forward and lter multicast trafc
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 trafc
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.
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 congured 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 function allows the trafc on one port to be
duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port. Port mirroring can be
used to monitor Ethernet trafc 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
specific port is replaced, the replacement receives the same
IP address as the original device.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol - RSTP allows the switch to be
congured in a Ring or Mesh topology, and provides support for
redundant path communications with high speed (rapid) healing.
Remote Monitoring Options
For ease of conguration and monitoring, the
716TX
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 trafc
mon itor i ng, tre ndin g , and alarm ing to any appl icat ion
using
N-TRON
switches.
N-Discover™
automatically discovers
MAC and IP addresses of other network devices. In addition SNMP is
available for switch link and status monitoring. The Alarm
Contact and Status LED can be configured 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
716TX
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
716TX
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. In
addition to standard Ring Manager protocol, when using all
N-TRON
fully managed switches in the ring, 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 Specications
The
716TX
is designed to operate in industrial environments. It
is housed in a rugged steel DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended
industrial specifications and features to meet or exceed the
operating parameters of the 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 configur-
ing. Each copper port is automatically negotiated for maxi-
mum 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.
The
N-TRON
®
716TX
Industrial Ethernet Switch combines
outstanding performance and ease of use. It is ideally suited for con-
necting Ethernet enabled industrial and/or security equipment and is a
fully managed switch.
