The workgroup switches can be rapidly put into operation via plug and play, and allow you to address specific data packets in or across
subnetworks. They can also be used to cost-effectively power or
accurately synchronize your terminal equipment via the data line.
Redundancy methods such as MRP, HIPER Ring and RSTP guarantee smooth
data communication. And last but not least, the switches are only one
rack unit high (1U) and tolerate temperatures from to 50, so they can be
installed in control cabinets without the need for powerful cooling
systems.
The MACH104-L3P switches provide flexible and cost effective solutions in numerous industries. They can be used, for example, in
transport applications to network traffic lights and emergency
telephones, to transmit video and audio signals such as announcements
and alerts, or control smoke extraction systems. Another example is
office communication, where they can be used to efficiently connect a
large number of devices to the network including PCs, printers, and WLAN
access points.
The new workgroup switches provide static, dynamic and even multicast routing, and have 16 or 20 TX ports. A total of nine different
versions are available, six of which support PoE . There are also
variants with two optical 10 Gigabit uplinks, fanless cooling, redundant
power supply and non-heating appliance power plug, or an external power
supply.
models are characterized by a robust design that can withstandshock and vibration, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharges. Additional
features include extensive management and redundancy methods, as well as
various configuration and diagnostic functions. A USB interface enables
you to connect the ACA 21 autoconfiguration adapter and hence save all
your configuration data as well as conveniently upgrade or downgrade the
workgroup switches?¯ operating system.
