Description
Lynx is a range of Fast Ethernet (100Mbit) or Gbit Ethernet switches consisting of three
different function levels and four different type approvals, giving you the ability to select
the perfect switch for your application providing optimum functionality at the best value.
Our unique FRNT (Fast Recovery of Network Topology) technology is the fastest proto-
col on the market to re-configure a network in the event of any link or hardware faliure.
That is why the Lynx-series is used in safety critical applications such as tunnels, traffic
signal control and railway systems.
Installations in harsh environments and places with heavy electrical interference require
the use of a reliable media. The Lynx-series provides a number of solutions using fibre
optic transceivers. Multi- or singlemode transceivers can be used to build point-to-point
or redundant ring networks with ranges up to 120 km between each switch. Our BIDI
transceiver, which transmits and receives data on a single fibre can be used in applications
where the number of fibre cores are limited.
Real-time properties are implemented in the Lynx-series in order to achieve determinism
for real time critical applications. The Lynx-switches supports QoS (Quality of Service)
with four priority queues and strict priority scheduling as well as HoL (Head of Line
Blocking Prevention). All to assure that the data network is deterministic.
