Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
RSTP 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

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 traffi c monitoring,
trending, and alarming to any application using

N-TRON

switches.

In addition, SNMP is available for switch link and status monitoring.
The alarm contact and status LED can be confi gured 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.

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 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 Specifi cations
The

716TX

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 operating parameters
of 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 confi guring. Each
copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed and
performance by default, but can also be hard coded through the user
interface. A high speed processor allows wire speed capability on all

T h e

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

716TX

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

716TX

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.

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 confi gured 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 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.

DHCP-DHCP Server / Client automates the assignment of IP addresses.
DHCP Option 82 assures that if a device on a specifi c port is replaced,
the replacement receives the same IP address as the original device.
