Management Features
The 708FX2 offers several management functions that can be easily
configured using a web browser.
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is a feature
that allows the 708FX2 switch to forward and filter multicast traffic
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 traffic
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 configured 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 traffic on one port to be
duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port. Port mirroring can
be used to monitor Ethernet traffic on the designated source port
using the assigned mirror port.
Rapid Spanning Tree
This function allows the switch to be configured in a ring or mesh
topology, and provides support for redundant path communications
with high speed (rapid) healing.
Remote Monitoring Options
For ease of configuration and monitoring, the 708FX2 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 traffic
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 708FX2 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 708FX2 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 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 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 Specifications
The 708FX2 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 configuring.
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.
