Management Features
The
9000
Series offers several management functions that can be easily
confi gured using a Web Browser, Telnet or a COM port.
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is a feature
that allows the
9000
Series 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 proioritization 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.
Remote Monitoring Options
For ease of confi guration and monitoring the
9000
Series 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 using
N-TRON
switches.
In addition, SNMP, COM port, and Telnet interfaces are available for
switch link and status monitoring.
N-Ring Technology
N-TRON 's 9000
Series 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
9000
Series Ring Manager
periodically checks the health of the Ring via packets. If the Ring
Manager stops receiving these health check packets, it times out and
converts the Ring to a fi ber optic backbone 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 identify the health status of the ring. Up to 250 fully
managed or 50 unmanaged monitored
N-TRON
switches can partici-
pate in N-Ring topology.
Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations
The
N-TRON 9000
Series 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
specifi cations of the equipment it is connecting. These include extended
temperature ratings, extended shock and vibrations specs, redundant
power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 1M hours).
Ease of Use and Performance
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. The two GB fiber optic ports support full 2000 Mb/s
communications via 1000BaseSX. LED's are provided to display the
link status, and activity of each port as well as power on/off status. A
high speed processor and backplane allows wire speed capability on
all 100BaseTX and 100Base FX ports simultaneously.
