Performance and security are top priorities for the new Switch, both in network and access security, alongside the various switch functions themselves. This makes it eminently suited for high availability areas, such as industrial automation, traffic information and control systems, as well as energy technology. Applications like Wireless LAN and IP video surveillance profit from the integrated power supply of terminal devices with PoE+ according to the IEEE 803.3at standard with up to 30 W per port, which the new Switch provides on four 10/100/1000Base-T connections.
Furthermore, the Switch offers two combo ports with an RJ-45 connection and SFP slot. These allow a redundant uplink either constructed with copper cables or fiber optic lines. In the event of a line break, the ring protocol ensures continuing availability. The Switch itself can be supplied via the RJ-45 uplink port as a powered device with Power-over-Ethernet thus ensuring enhanced Switch availability if the conventional power supply fails.
Sensors and actuators can be integrated via the Switch's two I/O ports or the Switch can be connected to an existing alarm solution.
One of the many innovative details: The operating system, firmware and configuration data of the Switch are saved on an SD card. If a Switch needs to be replaced at any time, the new device automatically adopts the configuration saved on the card as soon as it is plugged in, reducing recovery times to a minimum. Special IT knowledge is not necessary in this process, which simplifies installation and operation and therefore significantly reduces the associated costs.
