PRODUCT FEATURESAdvanced Management FunctionsThe 526FX2-A offers several management functions that can beeasily configured using the COM Port (DB 9 Connector locatedon the front, left side of the switch).IGMP Snooping - Internet Group Management Protocol is afeature that allows the 526FX2-A switch to forward and filtermulticast traffic intelligently.VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network allows you to segment theswitch in order to create two or more separate local area networkdomains.QoS - Quality of Service provides prioritization of networktraffic in order to provide better network service. The primarygoal of QoS is to improve the latency of prioritized Ethernetpackets required for ring management, real-time and otherinteractive applications.Trunking - Trunking (aggregation) enables multiple physicalports to be linked together and function as one uplink to anotherN-TRON trunking capable switch configured in the samemanner, thereby increasing the bandwidth between switches.This configuration can provide increased bandwidth andredundancy to applications requiring high levels of faulttolerant operation.Port Mirroring - This 526FX2 function allows the traffic onone port to be duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port.Port mirroring can be used to monitor Ethernet traffic on thedesignated source port using the assigned mirror port.N-View OPC Switch Monitoring (With -A or -N Option Only)The N-TRON N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) ServerSoftware can be combined with popular HMI softwarepackages to add network traffic monitoring, trending andalarming to any application using N-TRON switchesconfigured with the N-View option. N-TRON's N-View OPCServer collects 41 different traffic variables per port and 5system level variables per switch. This information canprovide a complete overview of the network load, servicequality, and packet traffic. OPC client software can use N-ViewOPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly andimprove system reliability.Industrial Packaging and SpecificationsThe N-TRON 526FX2 is designed to operate in industrialenvironments. It is housed in a rugged steel rack mountenclosure. Like all N-TRON switches, the 526FX2 comesstandard with extended temperature ratings, extended shockand vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and a high MTBF(greater than 1M hours) .Ease of UseThe N-TRON 526FX2 requires no setup unless the advancedport functions are utilized. The twenty-four 10/100BaseTXports are auto sensing and auto configuring. Each copper portis automatically negotiated for maximum speed andperformance by default. The two fiber optic ports support full200Mb/s communications via 100BaseFX. Bi-color LED's areprovided to display the link status, link speed and activity ofeach port as well as power on/off status.PerformanceThe N-TRON 526FX2 uses "state of the art" IEEE 802.3 FastEthernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology. This eliminatesnetwork collisions and increases network determinism. 4,000MAC addresses are supported enabling sophisticated andcomplex network architectures. A high speed processor andbackplane allows wire speed capability on all portssimultaneously.• IGMP Snooping• VLAN• QoS• Trunking• Mirroring• N-ViewTM (Remote Monitoring Using OPC Technology)Advanced Management Features (With -A option only):The N-TRON TM 526FX2 Series Industrial Ethernet Switchoffers outstanding performance and ease of use.
