B&B Electronics 708TX - Datasheet - Manual

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. 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
u s i n g N - T R O N s w i t c h e s . I n a d d i t i o n S N M P i s
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 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 con-
verts 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 sta-
tus 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 specifications 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.
The N-TRON
® 708TX Industrial Ethernet Switch combines
outstanding performance and ease of use. It is ideally suited for
connecting Ethernet enabled industrial and/or security equipment
and is a fully managed switch.

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 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. 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 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 - 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.
