Hirschmann Octopus OS20 9-port Fast Ethernet switch
Belden has extended its Hirschmann product range with a 9-port version of its Octopus OS20 switch series, providing Fast Ethernet ports (10/100base-Tx) with vibration-resistant M12 connections in D-coding. Further features include a robust IP67-rated metal housing and an extended temperature range from -40 to +70°C.
The Octopus also meets EMC and fire protection requirements for use in rail vehicles. As the switch can be cascaded in any way, decentrally structured automation networks with short transmission paths can be implemented with the respective terminal devices.
The Hirschmann basic software is installed on this layer-2 switch, supporting both various management and security functions and fast redundancy methods such as HIPER-Ring, MRP and RSTP.
The switch is designed for wall mounting, and can be quickly put into operation. Configuration is possible either via a command line interface (CLI), DHCP relay agent option 82, HiDiscovery or the ACA11-M12 EEC auto-configuration adapter.
RMON, port mirroring and LLDP (Topology Discovery 802.1ab) are provided for diagnostics. A floating signal contact signals alarms independently of the data network. The switch also has LEDs on the front that display both the device and network status, and the data transfer and power supply.
Information can be retrieved via a serial V.24 interface or the ethernet ports. The switch is monitored and configured via SNMP, a standard web browser or the Hirschmann Industrial HiVision network management software.
