Port extender PE-400
Port extenders are modular network components with RJ-45 ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) or
SFP transceiver slots. To the left they have an expansion interface to connect to the basic
device or to another port extender and to the right they have an expansion interface for
additional port extenders. Each port extender functions with every basic device.
Note
Port extenders function only in conjunction with a basic device.
Function Extender BUS ANALYZER Agent XM-400
Function extenders are modular network components, that expand the range of functions of
the basic device.
To the right they have an expansion interface to connect to the basic device. Function
extenders can be used with every basic device.
The BUS ANALYZER Agent XM-400 can be used as a function extender for SCALANCE
XM-400.
As a function extender the BUS ANALYZER Agent XM-400 is a modular network component
with 4 internal monitor ports for port mirroring. On the internal ports of the BUS ANALYZER
Agent XM-400, ports of the basic device can be mirrored and their data traffic recorded. The
BUS ANALYZER Agent XM-400 has an expansion interface to the right to connect to the
basic device. It can be used with every basic device.
In standalone mode, the BUS ANALYZER Agent XM-400 is an independent hardware
module for recording and sending Ethernet and PROFINET data without any consequences.
