1.1 Introduction
To create reliability in your network, the IP-67 MANAGED INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET
SWITCH comes equipped with a proprietary redundant network protocol—X-Ring that
was developed by Advantech, which provides users with an easy way to establish a
redundant Ethernet network with ultra high-speed recovery time less than 20 ms.
Aside from 8 x 10/100Base-T(X) Fast Ethernet ports, EKI-6559TMI comes equipped
with 2 LC type fiber optic ports. The fiber optic ports can be used for the application of
wideband uploading and long distance transmissions to fit the field request flexibility.
1.1.1
Heavy Duty
Designed with circular M12 connectors for Fast Ethernet interface, the MANAGED
INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET SWITCH provides the rugged construction which complies
with IP67 standards. Therefore, the equipment is especially intended for the damp,
dusty, and vibrant environments.
1.1.2
Dual Power Inputs
The redundant power input design for the IP-67 MANAGED INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET
SWITCH gives a backup power solution. With both the power inputs supplied, and
when either one fails, the other one will be activated to keep the system operating
continually. When one of the power inputs fails, the P-Fail LED indicator lights up and
send an alarm through the relay output for notification purposes.
1.1.3
Flexible Mounting
IP-67 MANAGED INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET SWITCH is compact and can be mounted
on a DIN-rail or panel, so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.
1.1.4
Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the IP-67 MANAGED INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET
SWITCH is between -40 ~ 75 ℃. With such a wide range, you can use the IP-67
MANAGED INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET SWITCH in some of the harshest industrial
environments that exist.
1.1.5
Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each Ethernet port has a LED
indicator displaying the link status. Also the PWR1, PWR2 and P-Fail indicators help
you diagnose the system immediately.
