Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W is a utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch that
combines an IEEE 802.11b/g Local Area Network (LAN) with wired Ethernet ports. It
allows network designers to achieve the integration of wired and wireless networks
in a single device.
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W can also act as a wireless access point and can – in
combination with an Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) interface – aggregate many
devices at a remote location back to the central control room using existing
telephone grade cable (or other legacy serial cabling) at distances of up to 5 km (3
mi) at up to 35 Mbps (upstream and downstream).
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W functions as a wireless client/bridge within an IEEE
802.11b/g compliant WLAN. This allows the RUGGEDCOM RS930W to transfer data
for connected serial port and Ethernet devices via an installed Wireless Access Point.
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W is capable of wireless data rates of up to 54 Mbps whose
bandwidth is available for the combined device traffic volume emanating from two
serial ports and two Ethernet ports.
Static authentication support is provided by WPA-PSK. For authentication by an
access point and a RADIUS server, the RUGGEDCOM RS930W supports IEEE 802.1X/
RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic encryption keys. All wireless
communications are protected by modern network security features, including
strong encryption protocols using WPA with TKIP and even WPA2/802.11i with
128-bit AES encryption. Static authentication support is provided by WPA-PSK. For
additional centralized control, the RUGGEDCOM RS930W also supports IEEE 802.1X/
RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic encryption keys.
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found on plant
floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of
-40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I
Division 2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the
RUGGEDCOM RS930W to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of
cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or
85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability.
The RUGGEDCOM RS930W's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM
Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced
networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for
mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
