PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• "Plug and play" installation and operation is transparent to software: The ML600
operates as a hardware switch, only forwarding packets from each domain that are
required on the other domains. Internal address tables are self-learning, enabling
users to change port connections or 10/100 domains without affecting operations.
• Two sets of LEDs for viewing status from any angle: Each ML600 is equipped with
two sets (front and side) of LEDs to provide status information when viewed at almost
any angle or mounting arrangement.
• Rugged metal case: The industrial grade ML600 has a robust design and is packaged
in a rugged metal enclosure to ensure high reliability and durability in industrial
applications.
• Efficient compact design for all purpose mounting: The ML600 features a compact
steel case with an external AC or DC power supply. The ML600 can be installed in small
spaces in cabinets, on table tops, in racks, walls, or DIN-Rail mounted and in trays.
• MDIX ports to eliminate cross-over cable while cascading: All ML600 switches
feature MDIX (auto-cross), which allows cascading with other switch hubs or media
edges supporting auto-negotiation, without using the cross-over cable.
• Hardware operated alarm terminal block: The alarm contact enables monitoring for
internal power failure, and provides extra reliability to the ML600.
• Link Loss Learn feature for faster recovery in redundant managed network: The LLL
feature qualifies the edge switches to actively work along with redundant network
structure and allow a faster recovery during ring break.
