Management Features
The 7018TX offers management functions that can be easily
configured using a Web Browser:
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol allows the
7018TX 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.
Port Trunking - Port 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.
DHCP-DHCP Server / Client automates the assignment of IP
addresses. DHCP Option 82 assures that if a device on a specific
port is replaced, the replacement receives the same IP address as
the original device.

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
RSTP 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 7018TX 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 using N-TRON switches. In addition
SNMP is 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-Link broken, partial break high, partial
break low, or if multiple ring managers are detected.
N-Ring Technology
N-TRON's 7018TX 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 7018TX 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 Specifications
The 7018TX 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 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 configuring. Each
copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed and
performance by default, but can also be hard coded through the user
interface. The two optional gigabit ports support full 2000 Mb/s
communications via 1000BaseSX/LX/T. For added flexibility, these
SFP (Mini-GBIC) gigabit transceivers are field upgradable or can be
factory installed at the time of purchase.
