The EDS-516A inherited many advanced features, such as Turbo Ring, from Moxa's series of managed Ethernet switches, to give system integrators a reliable and efficient network switch for handling large automation systems.
The high port count design fulfills the demand for high-density network connections of large distributed control systems (DCS).
In addition, managed features, such as Quality of Service (QoS), provide a traffic prioritization capability to ensure that important data is delivered consistently and predictably, and the EDS-516A supports IEEE802.1D-1998 GMRP and IGMP Snooping to reduce the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
The EDS-516A supports VLAN technology, which can be used to segment your network without being restricted by physical connections, and IEEE802.3ad (LACP) provides flexible network connections and a redundant path for critical devices.
SNMP V1/V2c/V3 provide different levels of management, and RMON (Remote Network Monitoring) allows various network agents and console systems to exchange network monitoring data.
In addition, IEEE802.1X and https/SSL are available to enhance network security.
Detailed information about the EDS-516A is available on the Moxa Group's corporate website.
Product Features:.
- 16 fast Ethernet ports with 2 ports for copper or fiber.
- Turbo Ring (recovery time < 300 ms), RSTP/STP (IEEE802.1W/D) for Ethernet redundancy.
- QoS, IGMP snooping/GMRP, VLAN, LACP, SNMP V1/V2c/V3, RMON supported.
