524TX-A Industrial Ethernet Switch

N-Tron Networking Series

Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FEATURES

The 524TX-Aoffers several management functions that can be easily congured

using the COM Port (DB 9 connector located on the right side of the switch).

OPC Server collects 41 different trafc variables per port and ve system level

variables per switch, providing a complete overview of network load, service

quality, and packet trafc. Empowered with N-View OPC Server data, users can

resolve network problems faster and make more informed decisions about overall

system performance.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

performance and ease of use. It is ideally suited for connecting Ethernet-enabled

industrial and/or security equipment and can be optionally congured with advanced

Ethernet communication management functions.

Industrial Packaging and Specications

The 524TX, designed to operate in industrial environments, is housed in a

rugged rackmounted steel enclosure. The switch comes standard with extended

temperature rating, extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs,

and a high MTBF (greater than 1M hours).

Ease of Use

The 524TX requires no setup unless the advanced port functions are utilized. The

twenty-four 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto conguring. Each port

automatically negotiates for maximum speed and performance by default. Bi-color

LEDs are provided to display the link status, link speed and activity of each port

as well as power on/off status.

Performance

The 524TX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses and uses advanced IEEE 802.3

Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology to eliminate network collisions

and increase network determinism.Ahigh-speed processor and backplane provide

outstanding throughput performance.
