Management Features
The 9000 Series offers several management functions that can be easily
configured using a Web Browser, Telnet or a COM port.
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is a feature
that allows the 9000 Series 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 proioritization 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 9000 Series 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, COM port, and Telnet interfaces are
available for switch link and status monitoring.
N-Ring Technology
N-TRON's 9000 Series 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 9000 Series
Ring Manager periodically checks the health of the Ring via packets.
If the Ring Manager stops receiving these health check packets, it times
out and converts the Ring to a fiber optic backbone within 30ms. In
addition to standard Ring Manager protocol, when using all N-TRON
fully managed switches in the ring, a detailed ring map and fault
location chart will also be provided on the Ring Manager’s web browser
and OPC Server to identify the health status of the ring. Up to 250
fully managed or 50 unmanaged monitored N-TRON switches can
participate in N-Ring topology.
Industrial Packaging and Specifications
The N-TRON 9000 Series 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 specifications of the equipment it is connecting. These include
extended temperature ratings, extended shock and vibrations specs,
redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 1M hours).
Ease of Use and Performance
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. The two GB fiber optic ports support full 2000 Mb/s
communications via 1000BaseSX. LED's are provided to display the
link status, and activity of each port as well as power on/off status.
A high speed processor and backplane allows wire speed capability on
all 100BaseTX and 100Base FX ports simultaneously.
