N-View OPC Switch Monitoring (With -Aor -N Option Only)
The N-TRON N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) Server
Software can be combined with popular HMI software
packages to add network traffic monitoring, trending and
alarming to any application using N-TRON switches
configured with the N-View option. N-TRON's N-View OPC
Server collects 41 different traffic variables per port and 5
system level variables per switch. This information can
provide a complete overview of the network load, service
quality, and packet traffic. OPC client software can use N-View
OPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly and
improve system reliability.
Advanced Management Features (With -A option only):
• IGMP Snooping
• Port VLAN
• QoS
• Port Trunking
• Mirroring
• N-ViewTM (Remote Monitoring Using OPC Technology)
Advanced Management Functions
Industrial Packaging and Specifications
The 508TX-A offers several management functions that can be
easily configured using the COM Port (DB 9 Connector located
on the right side of the switch).
IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is a
feature that allows the 508TX-A switch to forward multicast traffic
intelligently.
VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network allows you to segment the
switch in order to create two or more separate local area network
domains.
QoS - Quality of Service provides prioritization of network traffic
in order to provide better network service. The primary goal of
QoS is to improve the latency of prioritized Ethernet packets
required for ring management, real-time and other interactive
applications.
Trunking - Port trunking (aggregation) enables multiple
physical ports to be linked together and function as one uplink to
another N-TRON trunking capable switch configured in the same
manner, thereby increasing the bandwidth between switches. This
configuration can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy
to applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.
Port Mirroring - This 508TX-A function allows the traffic on
one port to be duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port.
Port mirroring can be used to monitor Ethernet traffic on the
designated source port using the assigned mirror port.
The N-TRON 508TX is designed to operate in industrial
environments. It is housed in a rugged steel enclosure that can
be DIN-RAIL or Panel Mounted. Optional kits are available
for rackmount applications. Like all N-TRON products, the
508TX comes standard with extended temperature ratings,
extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs,
and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).
Ease of Use
The N-TRON 508TX requires no setup unless the advanced
port functions are utilized. The eight 10/100BaseTX ports are
auto sensing and auto configuring. Each port is automatically
negotiated for maximum speed and performance by default.
Bi-color LED's are provided to display the link status, link speed
and activity of each port as well as power on/off status.
Performance
The N-TRON 508TX uses "state of the art" IEEE 802.3 Fast
Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology. This eliminates
network collisions and increases network determinism. 4,000
MAC addresses are supported enabling sophisticated and
complex network architectures. A high speed processor and
backplane allows wire speed capability on all ports
simultaneously.
