 SIXNET Ring Switch Tour

of Tutorial
Even More Capability is Just a Click Away
   
 

If you need to go beyond the plug and play simplicity, the Real-time Ring™ Switches can be configured for some advanced capabilities that are usually found only in managed switches. An easy to use Windows software utility is provided to enable these extra features. They include:
 
 
 
 
     Configurable port settings – Allows you to set the speed, duplex and flow control.
      (see screen shot)

   Ring settings – Change which ports are used to make your ring, or you can enable up to        two rings. (see screen shot)

   Priority queuing for traffic prioritization – Ensures that your priority messages (such       as I/O control data) always get delivered first. Standard QoS, CoS and ToS/DiffServ       mechanisms are used to prioritize, tag and untag your messages. (see screen shot)

   Broadcast storm protection – Too many unwanted broadcast messages can quickly       bring your network down. This feature will simply limit the number of broadcast messages       that get through to prevent them from overloading your network. (see screen shot)

   Port mirroring for diagnostics – This advanced feature makes it possible (using third       party network analyzer software) to monitor the Ethernet messages on any port in the       switch. Port mirroring allows the messages from one or more source ports to be copied to       one or more target ports. (see screen shot)

   Status monitoring utility – This convenient utility shows you the ring, power and port       status of each ring switch in your network. It makes it easy to narrow down and diagnose       problems. (see screen shot)

   Modbus over Ethernet status monitoring – This is a SIXNET exclusive feature. See the       next page of the tour for details.
