Housed in an IP67-rated industrial case, the IGS-5227-6MT-X is an industrial 6-port (10/100/1000T) Layer 2+ managed Ethernet switch. With static Layer 3 routing, it is vibration proof and TAA compliant. The unit is an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) solution for public transportation that also has industrial plant applications.
Let’s explore some of the features of the IGS-5227-6MT-X.
Suitable for Industrial Environments
The environmentally hardened design of the IGS-5227-6MT-X offers protection from dust, humidity, temperature fluctuations, and water intrusion, allowing it to operate under the temperature range of -40ºC to 75ºC. The dustproof and waterproof M12 connector provides a tight and strong connection, guaranteeing stable Ethernet performance in high vibration and shock environments.
The IP67-rated industrial case shields the switch from chemical and environmental damage, even in the harshest industrial settings. Static Layer 3 routing provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges that are common occurrences on plant floors and curbside traffic control cabinets.Â
Dual Power Input for High Availability
A strong dual power input system (Dual 9V~48V DC) incorporated into your automation network enhances system reliability and uptime. If DC Power 1 fails, the failover function is automatically activated to keep powering the switch via DC Power 2, with no loss of operation.
Powerful Security
With a comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL), the IGS-5227-6MT-X Managed Switch enforces security to the edge. Network access is restricted by the denial of packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. To ensure privacy, the private VLAN function prevents communication between edge ports.Â
To prevent IP snooping and discard ARP packets with an invalid MAC address, the switch provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection. The protection mechanism comprises 802.1X port-based and MAC-based user device authentication.
The IGS-5227-6MT-X enables network administrators to construct highly-secure corporate networks in considerably less time, with minimal effort.
Redundant Ring and Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
To prevent interruptions and external intrusions, the IGS-5227-6MT-X supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability. In harsh factory environments and urban transportation settings, system reliability and uptime are enhanced by ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection System) technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into industrial automation networks.
The recovery time of data link can be as rapid as 20ms in a simple Ring network.
Excellent Traffic Control
To enhance connection services by ISPs and telecoms, the IGS-5227-6MT-X is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features. Wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limit are particularly useful for:
- Intelligent transportation infrastructure
- Industrial networks
- Multi-business units
- Multi-tenant units
- Telecommunications applications
- Network service providers’ applications
This empowers the industrial environment to take full advantage of limited network resources while guaranteeing top performance in VoIP and videoconferencing transmission.
SMTP/SNMP Tap Event Alert
Most NVR security camera systems and camera management software offer SMTP an email alert function. The IGS-5227-6MT-X Managed Ethernet Switch goes a step further with an event alert function that helps diagnose an abnormal device to determine whether there is a break in the network connection.
Efficient and Secure Management
The built-in Web-based management interface of the IGS-5227-6MT-X L2+ Managed Switch provides an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility that incorporates Web and SNMP management interfaces. Secure remote management is possible through support of SSH, SSL, and SNMP v3 connections that encrypt the packet content at each session.Â
To reduce product learning time, Cisco-like command via Telnet is offered, so a new console command does not need to be learned.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The IGS-5227-6MT-X can be programmed for the following advanced switch management functions:
- Q-in-Q VLAN
- Private VLAN
- Dynamic port link aggregation
- Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
- Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoSÂ
- Bandwidth control
- IGMP/MLD Snooping
The operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple fiber ports is possible via the aggregation of supporting ports. Fail-over is supported, as well.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack and Routing Feature
The switch supports both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols. This helps transportation hubs, data centers, industrial manufacturing facilities, telecoms, campuses, and more experience the IPv6 era with minimal investment as network facilities do not need to be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing allows crossing over different VLANS and IP addresses for a highly-secure, flexibly managed, simple networking application.
Flexible Network Connectivity for Factory Automation
Supported Modbus TCP/IP protocol lets the IGS-5227-6MT-X can easily integrate with SCADA systems, HMI systems, and other data acquisition systems on factory floors. Administrators can remotely monitor the industrial Ethernet switch’s operating information, communication status, and port information to easily achieve enhance monitoring and maintenance of the entire factory. Â
1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks
The IGS-5227-6MT-X Managed Switch is ideal for telecom and Carrier Ethernet applications. It supports MEF service delivery and timing over packet solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.
