Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P is a rugged, fully managed, modular Ethernet switch specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding utility substation, railway and
industrial environments. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P's superior rugged hardware design coupled with the
embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides improved system reliability and advanced cyber security and
networking features, making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control
applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P comes standard with 2 10/100BaseTX 802.3af (PoE) compliant Ethernet ports,
with the option to add an additional 2 PoE ports, and offers modular flexibility of up to 6 additional Ethernet
ports, including 10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000BaseX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. The
RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P is highly versatile and can support multiple fiber types and connectors (ST, MTRJ, LC, SC)
without loss of port density.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P is an ideal solution to power and connect several Ethernet devices, such as IP
phones, video cameras, and wireless access points, where AC power is not available or where it is cost-prohibitive
to provide locally.
