The Allied Telesis IE200 Series of industrial switches is a cost-effective solution that meets the high reliability requirements demanded by industrial applications. The units can be easily managed through Web GUI, SNMP, Telnet or SSH while the fiber ports extend the connection distance, increasing the network elasticity and performance.
Overview
The IE200 Series provides Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing™) resilient functionality that can prevent network connection failure. With the wide operating temperature range of between -40° and 75°C, IE200 Series switches can be deployed in any of the harshest industrial environments.
Performance
The IE200 Series of high performance and cost-effective industrial managed switches meets the high reliability requirements of industrial network operations. These industrial switchesprovide network managers with several key features, using the simple web-based management function, such as port-based VLANs, IEEE 802.1p QoS, port trunking/link aggregation, port mirroring, priority queues and IEEE 802.1x security support. With support of up to 2K MAC addresses, the IE200 Series of switches is an ideal option for integrating management into any network solution.
Securing the Network Edge
To ensure data protection, it is important to control network access. Protocols such as IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication guarantee that only known users are connected to the network. Unknown users who physically connect can be segregated into a pre-determined part of thenetwork, offering guests such benefits as Internet access, while ensuring the integrity of private network data.
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Support
IE200 Series SFP ports support both Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Small Form- factor Performance Pluggables (SFPs). This makes IE200 Series switches ideal for environments where Gigabit fiber switches will be phased in over time. This allows for connectivity to the legacy 100FX hardware until it is upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet.
Support for both speeds of SFPs allows organizations to stay within budget as they migrate to faster technologies.
High Network Resiliency
IE200 Series industrial switches support the EPSRing protocol that can help the network to recover from connection failure within 50ms or less,thus making the network system highly resilient. The EPSR is a carrier-class algorithm, and its recovery time is much faster than STP. In addition, Dual Homing and Double Ring Topology are also supported, further increasing network availability.
