Device Description
The Industrial Switch was designed for easy installation in an industrial
environment where vibration, shock, heat, and RF interference may be
commonplace.
The Industrial Switch, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed for
easy carrier rail mounting and can be installed where space is limited.
The Industrial Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for
shared bandwidth 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth
200 Mbps (100 Mbps full duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a
congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The Industrial Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together
in a ‘daisy-chain’ fashion. As all ports support 200 Mbps, the Industrial Switch
can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.
The Industrial Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and
forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port,
while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to
guarantee against all possible packet loss.
Other key features are:
•
Five (5) 10/100Base-TX Ports
•
Comprehensive front-panel diagnostic LEDs
•
Supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X
•
Full/half-duplex transfer modes for each port
•
Wide supply voltage range 18 … 30 V
•
Store-and-forward switching method
•
Integrated address Look-Up Engine, supports 2K absolute MAC addresses
•
Supports surge protection
•
Power input polarity protection function
•
IEEE 802.3x flow control for fullduplex
•
Wide operating temperature range -40 °C … +70 °C
•
Auto-Negotiation an allen Ports
•
Rugged metal-IP30 case
•
Vibration/Shock operational
The 852-111 has 5 ports with each port featuring Auto-negotiation and auto
MDI/MDI-X detection. Existing 10Mbps networks can now be upgraded
effortlessly to higher speed 100Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. The 852-111 5-port
density can be used to create multiple segments to alleviate client congestion and
provide dedicated bandwidth to each user node.
The 852-111 is a cost-effective solution to keep up with the constant demands for
emerging IP-based industry communication needs. The switch can be easily
configured and installed and is also ideally suited for small to medium-sized
networks.
