Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 Installation Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 is a rugged, fully managed, modular Ethernet switch
specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically de-
manding utility substation, railway and industrial environments. The RUGGEDCOM
RSG2300'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 net-
works for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 's modular flexibility offers 1000BaseX fiber and
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear mount con-
nectors make the RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 highly versatile for any application and can
support multiple fiber connectors (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port density. The
RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with in-
dustrial grade DIN, panel, or 48 cm (19 in) rack-mount mounting options.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 P additionally offers 802.3af standard Power over Ether-
net (PoE) on up to 4 10/100BaseTx ports. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P is an ideal so-
lution to power and connect several Ethernet devices (such as IP phones, video cam-
eras, and wireless access points) where AC power is not available or cost-prohibitive
to provide locally.
