1.2 Product Description
IFS NS3550-8T-2S is an Industrial 10-Port Full Gigabit Managed Ethernet Switch
specially designed to build a full Gigabit backbone to transmit reliable but high speed data in
heavy industrial demanding environments and forward data to remote network through fiber
optic. It provides 8-Port 10/100/1000Base-T copper and 2 extra 100/1000Base-X SFP
fiber optic interfaces
delivered in an IP30 rugged strong case with redundant power
system. Besides support for 20Gbps switch fabric to handle extremely large amounts of
video, voice and important data in a secure topology, the NS3550-8T-2S provides
user-friendly but advanced IPv6 / IPv4 management interfaces and abundant L2 / L4
switching functions. It is the best investment for industrial business expanding or upgrading
its network infrastructure.
IPv6 / IPv4 Full-functioned Secure Switch for Building Automation
Networking
The NS3550-8T-2S is the ideal solution to fulfilling the demand of IPv6 management Gigabit
Ethernet Switch, especially in the Industrial hardened environment. It supports both IPv4
and IPv6 management functions and can work with original network structure. It provides
advanced Layer 2 to Layer 4 data switching and redundancy, Quality of Service traffic
control, network access control and authentication, and Secure Management features to
protect customer’s industrial and building automation network connectivity with reliable
switching recovery capability that is suitable for implementing fault tolerant and mesh network architectures.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Surveillance System
The NS3550-8T-2S supports redundant ring technology and features strong rapid self-recovery capability to prevent
interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching)
technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation
network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In certain simple Ring network, the recovery
time of data link can be as fast as 20 ms.
Environmentally Hardened Design
With IP30 aluminum industrial case protection, the NS3550-8T-2S provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. It also
possesses an integrated power supply source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC or 24V AC) for worldwide high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to
75 degrees C, the NS3550-8T-2S can be placed in almost any difficult environment.
Flexible and Extendable Solution
The 2 mini-GBIC slots built in the NS3550-8T-2S support Dual-Speed, 100Base-FX and 1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small
Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver
according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently. The NS3550-8T-2S
supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that can easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP for network
administrator, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
