Advantech BB-7506GX2

The N-TRON® 7506GX2 Fully Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch provides all gigabit performance in a compact form factor. The 7506GX2 is ideally suited for use in high traffi c industrial applications such as security and video surveillance where maximum throughput, a small footprint and industrial ruggedness are required.



Management Features

The 7506GX2 offers several management functions that can be easily configured using a web browser.


Automatic IGMP Snooping

- Internet Group Management Protocol is a feature that allows the 7506GX2 switch to forward and filter multicast traffic intelligently. VLAN

- Virtual Local Area Network allows you to segment the switch in order to create two or more separate local area network domains. QoS

- Quality of Service provides prioritization of network traffic in order to provide better network service. The primary goal of QoS is to improve the latency of prioritized Ethernet packets required for ring management, real-time video, and other interactive applications. Port Trunking

- Trunking (link aggregation) enables multiple physical ports to be linked together and function as one uplink to another N-TRON trunking capable switch configured in the same manner, thereby increasing the bandwidth between switches. This configuration can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy to applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.


Port Mirroring

- This function allows the traffic on one port to be duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port. Port mirroring can be used to monitor Ethernet traffic on the designated source port using the assigned mirror port.


Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

- RSTP allows the switch to be configured in a ring or mesh topology, and provides support for redundant path communications with high speed (rapid) healing.


Remote Monitoring Options

- For ease of confi guration and monitoring, the 7506GX2 offers web browser management and N-View OLE for process control (OPC) server software. The N-TRON N-View software can be combined with popular HMI software packages to add network traffic monitoring, trending, and alarming to any application using N-TRON switches. In addition, SNMP is available for switch link and status monitoring. The status LED can be configured to respond to power failure on power input 1 or input 2, N-Link fault, port usage fault, N-Ring broken, partial break high, partial break low, or if multiple ring managers are detected.


N-Ring Technology

- N-TRON's 7506GX2 ring manager using N-TRON's N-Ring technology offers expanded ring size capacity, detailed fault diagnostics, and a standard healing time of ~30ms. The 7506GX2 ring manager periodically checks the health of the ring via heart beat packets. If the ring manager stops receiving these health check packets, it converts the ring to a linear topology within ~30ms. When all switches in the ring are N-TRON fully managed switches, a detailed ring map and fault location chart will also be provided on the ring manager’s web browser and OPC server to identify the health status of the ring. N-Link ™ allows the linking of two N-Rings. Up to 250 fully managed N-TRON switches can participate in N-Ring topologies.


LLDP

- Link Layer Discovery Protocol is a vendor neutral discovery protocol that allows switches and other LLDP capable devices on an IEEE802 LAN to advertise their capabilities to, and discover information from neighboring LAN members. Discovered information is stored in a MIB accessible through SNMP management tools such as N-TRON's iSNMP.


DHCP

- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a network application protocol used by devices (DHCP clients) to obtain configuration information for operation in an Internet Protocol network. DHCP can make it easy to add new machines to the network. N-TRON supports DHCP Server, Client, Option 61, and Option 82. The 7506GX2 also supports Local Port IP Addressing. This allows an IP address to be assigned to a specific port without using DHCP.


Industrial Packaging and Specifications

- The 7506GX2 is designed to operate in industrial environments. It is housed in a rugged extruded aluminum DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended industrial specifications and features to meet or exceed the operating parameters of connected equipment. These include extended temperature ratings, extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).


Ease of Use

- The 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports are auto sensing and auto configuring. Each copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed and performance by default, but can also be hard coded through the user interface. A high speed processor allows wire speed capability on all 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports simultaneously.
