Ethernet Managed Switch

March 1, 2004
The Ethernet EISX(M) Series managed switch, part of the CTRLink family, is intended for high reliability situations where outdoor temperatures are expected.

It offers eight 10/100BASE-T twisted-pair ports while supporting the SNMP protocol. Besides the conventional features found in standard plug-and-play switches, such as auto-negotiation, half- or full-duplex operation and flow control, the EISX(M) Series includes features such as VLAN, trunking, Quality of Service and a programmable fault relay that can be connected to a supervisory system. Individual port parameters ensure simple configuration via a console port attached to a terminal emulation program. The managed switch functions as an SNMP agent to provide information on the status of the various ports on the switches. The SNMP consists of a collection of managed objects that can be queried by a manager to indicate the status of the network or any particular device. Using this data, operators and maintenance personnel, at a central location, can monitor the entire network by observing selected devices and pinpoint potential problems before they happen. The EISX8M-100T with eight twisted-pair ports is priced at $895 per unit.
