LAN-RING switches with RS485 buses are also certified as a transmission
route for I&HAS system buses. Therefore, we verify compliance with the
ČSN EN 50131-1 standard every 3 years in the TESTALARM testing
laboratory. Currently valid certificates are available at www.metel.eu.
Ensuring compatibility with the standard requires compliance with all
precautions described on this page.
Backup Power
In systems where switches are used to transmit I&HAS system buses, the switches must be powered
from backed up system resources. See image above. After a failure of the basic power supply, the 48VDC
switch continues to operate at 12V and further forwards the I&HAS system data.
VLANs and QoS
Communication between the SIMULand software and the device is encrypted by the AES algorithm and
protected against unauthorized changes in the transmitted data using the SHA1 hash algorithm. The
switches thus meet the requirements for secure communication according to EN 62676-1-2. If switches
are used for data transmission of alarm systems, they are also subject to the EN50131-1 standard. In this
case, different VLANs and priorities (QoS) must be used for each service. We recommend assigning the
highest priority (QoS) to the I&HAS system and the second highest to device management.
FAQ for Using LAN-RING as a I&HAS Transmission Route
Can I transmit multiple I&HAS buses via LAN-RING?
Yes. It is not limited.
Can I connect multiple I&HAS buses to one switch?
It is always possible to connect only one I&HAS bus directly to the RS485 ports of the switch. Additional
buses are connected via miniLAN converters to FE or GE ports.
What is the max recommended load of the network if it is also used as a transmission route of the I&HAS.
For this, the requirement of the ČSN EN 62676-1-1 applies to a load of max. 75% of the available capacity.
