EISX Series
Industrial Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Compact Switching Hubs
EISX Switches provide popular PnP functionality: auto-negotiation,
10/100 Mbps data rate, half- or full-duplex operation, and flow control.
Each switch learns port assignments by reading Ethernet frames and logs
source addresses on a table which can hold over 4000 addresses. With this
information, it improves throughput by restricting traffic to only those ports
party to a data exchange — while other data is simultaneously exchanged
on other ports. Store-and-forward operation is implemented and broadcast,
multicast, or unicast transmissions are received by all ports.
The EISX also provides preamble regeneration with symmetry and amplitude
compensation — retiming signals to eliminate jitter. Digital pre-emphasis
compensates for inherent signal strength roll-off. Link integrity is monitored,
verifying that a working adapter or hub is on the distant end of a segment.
All ports support PAUSE flow control for full-duplex links and backpressure
for half-duplex. All RJ-45 ports feature Auto-MDIX for ease of cabling.
The switches are powered from wide-range, low-voltage AC or DC sources
and redundant power connections are provided for backup considerations.
They come with the hardware for either DIN-rail or panel mounting. The
front panels feature a power LED and bi-color LEDs for the link status,
activity, and data rate of each port.
Designed for Industrial Ethernet applications, the switch
complies with EMC immunity and emissions compatibility
standards for industrial environments.
