Introducing IPS-4240 and IPS-4255
IPS-4240 and the IPS-4255 do not support redundant power supplies.
Note
IPS-4240 and IPS-4255 deliver high port density in a small form factor. They use a compact flash device
for storage rather than the hard-disk drives used in other sensor models.
IPS-4240 replaces IDS-4235. There are four 10/100/1000 copper sensing interfaces. IPS-4240 is
available with either AC or DC power. It monitors up to 250 Mbps of aggregate network traffic on
multiple sensing interfaces and is inline ready. The 250-Mbps performance for IPS-4240 is based on the
following conditions:
