IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping - intelligent forwarding
and ltering of multicast trafc.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) - enables switch segmentation; allows creation
of two or more separate local area network domains.
QoS (Quality of Service) - prioritizes network trafc and improves latency of
prioritized Ethernet packets required for ring management, real-time, and other
interactive applications.
Trunking (link aggregation) - enables multiple physical ports to be linked together and
function as one uplink to another identically congured N-TRON switch; increases
bandwidth and redundancy to applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.
Port Mirroring - allows trafc on one port to be duplicated and sent to a designated
mirror port; can be used to monitor Ethernet trafc on the designated source port
using the assigned mirror port.
DHCP (DHCP Server / Client) - automates the assignment of IP addresses; Option
82 assures that a replacement device on a specic port receives the same IP
address as the original.
RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) - allows conguration in a ring or mesh topology;
provides support for redundant path communications with high-speed (rapid) healing.
Remote Monitoring Options
For ease of configuration 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 traf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 con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 the company'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-Ring.
Up to 250 fully managed N-TRON switches can participate in N-Ring topologies.
Industrial Packaging and Specications
The 716TX is designed to operate in industrial environments. It is housed in a
rugged steel DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended industrial speci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 con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
enables wire speed on all 100BaseTX ports simultaneously.
