The PXES6P Series Switches operate as hardware switches, only forwarding
those packets from each domain that are needed on the other domains. Internal
address tables are self-learning, enabling users to change port connections or
10/100 domains without affecting operations.
Two sets of LEDs for viewing status from any angle.
Each PXES6P Series Switch is equipped with two sets (front and side) of LEDs
to provide status information when viewed at almost any angle or mounting
arrangement whether rack or DIN rail mounted
.
Rugged metal case, Industrial grade
PXES6P Series have a robust design and
are packaged in a rugged sheet metal enclosure to ensure high reliability and
durability even when placed in industrial or outdoor applications.
Efficient Compact design, for all purpose convenient mounting
Featuring a compact steel case with an external AC and internal DC power
supply, PXES6P Series of Switches can be installed in small spaces in cabinets,
on table tops, in racks, walls or DIN rail.

MDIX ports to eliminate cross-over cable while cascading
All the PXES6P
Series Switches are featured with MDIX (auto-cross), which easily allow
cascading with other Switches, Hubs or media Edges without using the cross-
over cable.
Hardware operated Alarm terminal block
The Alarm contact option on PXES6P enables monitoring for internal power
failure, and provides extra reliability to the hardened Switch
Link-Loss-Learn feature for faster recovery in redundant managed
network
The LLL feature qualifies the switches to actively work along with redundant
network structure as a client switch and allow a faster recovery during ring break.

Applications for PXES6P Series Switches
PXES6P Series Switches fit very well in almost any environment to enable users to scale their
networks quickly and cost effectively. The edge-of-the-network connectivity solutions offered by
these Switches provide convenient, economical, and reliable solutions as well as an active role on
the managed redundant network setup for faster recovery. The compact PXES6P Series assists
fast expanding network requirements via providing support and reliability to the managed
redundant network. The Dual-Speed and Dual-media functions support a mixed environment of
10 Mbps and 100Mbps users with copper and fiber media. The switched full duplex fiber port
also provides high bandwidth and longer distance support. The up-link feature of 100Mb fiber on
Ports 1 and 2 enable easy expansion for the on-going demand of Ethernet networks. The
10/100Mbps auto-negotiating MDIX copper ports and the breadth of 100Mbps fiber ports enable
easy interfacing with existing cable plant and equipment. The PXES6P’s rugged case provides
extra support in the harshest industrial environments. Link-Loss-Learn is an additional feature to
