General Specifications
Overview
The Red Lion MIL312-1 is a 12 port industrial Ethernet managed switch designed to meet
the extreme requirements found in the toughest applications. It combines the high
performance and security of an enterprise-class switch with rugged packaging and
protected circuitry to meet the needs of the most demanding applications.
This manual will help you install and maintain these industrial Ethernet switches.
Installation of these switches is very easy and they will begin to operate as soon as they
are powered up. Though these are fully managed switches, they will act as unmanaged
until they are configured otherwise. Refer to the separate software manual or management
guide for configuration of the advanced networking functionality and security.
Note:
This manual only covers the installation and wiring of these switches. Refer
to the separate
Software User Manual
for details on configuring and using any of
the management functions such as SNMP, RSTP, IGMP, port mirroring, etc.
Basic
Operation
Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages out all ports, these industrial Ethernet
switches will intelligently route Ethernet messages only out the appropriate port. The major
benefits of this are increased bandwidth and speed, reduction or elimination of message
collisions, and deterministic performance when tied with real-time systems.
These switches support 10BaseT (10 Mbps), 100BaseT (100 Mbps) and 1000BaseT (1000
Mbps) on 12 ports. Each of these ports independently and automatically senses the speed
and duplex for best performance. They also offer auto-crossover and auto-polarity to
assure a proper link with either straight or crossed wired cables or even when the cable is
incorrectly wired.
