Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM i802 is a compact, fully managed Ethernet switch designed to operate reliably in harsh
industrial environments. The flexibility of the RUGGEDCOM i802 allows the user to choose from managed or
unmanaged, regular or extended temperature, fiber optical or copper interfaces, and fast or Gigabit Ethernet.
With up to nine Ethernet ports, the RUGGEDCOM i802 is the perfect choice for a wide variety of demanding
industrial environments such as those found in process control applications (oil and gas, petro-chemical, metals
and mining, wind farms).
The RUGGEDCOM i802 is packaged in a compact, die cast aluminum, DIN mountable enclosure for efficient
use of cabinet space. Dual 24 VDC power inputs increase reliability in case of primary power supply faults. The
i800 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of
environments found in industrial applications. An operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F) or
optionally -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F), coupled with hazardous location certification (Class 1 Division 2) allows
the RUGGEDCOM i802 to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM i802 features a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability and
manageability. The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3
networking functions, and advanced cyber security features. The Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(eRSTP) provides very fast network recovery in case of failures, guaranteeing a high availability network, and
allows any topology from ring to mesh. Numerous other features like VLANs and QoS make the RUGGEDCOM
i802 an enterprise class switch in an industrial class package.
