Ethernet Switch

ESW500 Ethernet Switch

The ESW500 range of Industrial Managed Ethernet Switches establish Ethernet network connections to multiple billing systems, or iHIU controllers.

Ethernet cables are limited to a maximum length of 90 metres. For establishing networks with distances of over 90 metres between switches, please refer to the options for the Ethernet Switch with Fibre Optic Connections.

RingOn Technology

Two ports can be used for network redundancy by implementing RingOn technology providing a rapid recovery system for industrial networks. If any part of the ring disconnects the network communications will automatically be restored.

Web-based Management

Each switch has an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory, offering advanced management features allowing users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network via a standard web browser.

VLAN Configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. This allows you to isolate network traffic so that members of a VLAN will only receive traffic from other members of the same VLAN.
