RUGGEDCOM RS900GP
Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch providing dual fiber
optical Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports, each capable of supplying high power
802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE). Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments,
the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy
electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic
control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with a powder coated
aluminum enclosure and optional conformal coating allows the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP to be placed in almost
any location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides advanced networking features such
as Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP), Port Rate Limiting and a full array of intelligent functionality for high
network availability and manageability.
