Great Network Performers
The new 300 switches are designed to solve the most demanding industrial communications
requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime. The devices utilize leadingedge
IEEE 802.3 Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology that prevents choking network
bottlenecks by eliminating virtually all data collisions and increasing determinism. The products use
auto sensing capabilities to detect upgrades and modifications to the network, intuitively scaling up
or down to meet the demands of the evolving network environment. All 300 products automatically
configure themselves on the network and auto-negotiate the speed and flow of data. The switches
accommodate up to 4,000 MAC switches making them ideal for complex and sophisticated network
environments.
Monitored Activity
The 300 Series offers optional N-version switches that ship with N-View Monitoring Software.
When installed, N-version products autocast a small Ethernet packet containing a port-by-port status
of the switch, including five switch level data points and 41 data points per port, at regular intervals.
This information is captured by the N-View OPC Server Software and can be used by application
software running in the same Windows environment with OPC Client capability.
Built for Endurance
The new 300 switches are built to perform flawlessly in tough industrial settings. Their compact size,
rugged enclosures, and extended environmental operability make them perfect for harsh conditions
where extreme temperature, vibration, noise and shock variables are routine. The product line boasts
a MTBF of over 2 million hours of flawless service.
Pricing and Availability
Starting at $399, the new 300 Series switches are budget friendly. N-TRON products are available
