| SIXNET's New 5-port Managed Switch SIXNET introduces a new 5-port Ethernet managed switch, the first of its kind that's truly industrial and fully managed. The ET-5MS is a smaller solution for applications that require 5 managed ports or less. It has full industrial ratings, including a wide operating temperature range, Zone 2 hazardous locations, marine and offshore and more. SIXNET managed switches combine real-time network management functions with open source capabilities. They offer secure and optimized performance with RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol) for fast redundant rings. Even after a break in a communications pathway, messages will be delivered. SIXNET managed switches can even detect and report network problems before they seriously affect network operations. The unit also has a self-test/alarm output signal plus authentication and encryption features. And like other SIXNET IPm products, managed switches also come with IPm Linux open-source tools. SIXNET managed switches work reliably through those hot summer days and even in the dead of winter. Unlike office-grade switches that are intended only for use in air-conditioned offices, SIXNET Ethernet switches are designed to survive those extreme locations. They have also proven themselves in military applications such as in LAVs, ships and aircrafts. What makes these switches ultra-reliable is their twenty-year support and service policy, free field-installable upgrades, and over one million hours of mean time between failures. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
