Acromag's new five-port Ethernet switch is specially designed for use in industrial applications. Rugged construction and a variety of security features ensure reliable operation under demanding conditions. Internal intelligence enables 'connect and go' operation for fast and easy network installation with auto-negotiation of 10/100 Mbps data rate, full/half-duplex flow control, and crossover signal compatibility. No configuration is necessary when the 900EN-S005 is used as a simple switch with Acromag's Ethernet I/O modules. For advanced users, this switch offers numerous control functions that are easily configured through DIP-switch settings or programmed using a computer.
Additional features make this switch very easy to use. Automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover and auto-polarity eliminates special up-ink/down-link ports or crossover cables. Unmanaged standalone operation does not require PC control. Also, broadcast storm protection helps unburden switch resources from excessive broadcast messaging. An integrated 128 KB (32Kx32-bit) high-speed SRAM frame buffer is shared by all five ports and supports 1,4 Gbps memory bandwidth.
For advanced users, this switch offers optional DIP-switch programming to invoke alternative control of the standard switch functions. These optional functions include backpressure flow controls, an energy miser function, a toggle switch reset, and smart address management capabilities. More advanced options are programmable through use of a PC connection. The 900EN-S005 supports virtual LAN definitions and queue priority management controls.
