Fully Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch

The L400/1400 Lynx Switch supports full management with single rings (FRNT v0) including fast network redundancy technology. The L400/1400 fulfills the toughest industrial environmental requirements. High MTBF numbers makes the switch the choice for applications where temperature, vibration and insulation are critical parameters. The Lynx switches are approved for industrial, marine, railway, substation automation and defense use. The Fast Re-configuration of Networks Topology (FRNT) concept of Weed Instrument offers ultra fast re-configuration of the network topology.

The FRNT concept eliminates failures caused by network links and/or switches. A redundant ring topology is an excellent choice when high availability and fast re-configuring of the network topology are required. FRNT recovery time is as fast as 20ms. The IGMP snooping feature of the L400/1400 switch handles high-multicast loads. Management of the L400/1400 switches is easy and is done by the user in the Windows based IP Configuration tool from Weed Instrument or SNMP. The IP configuration tool is free and any of the Ethernet ports can be used for this purpose. Thus, no serial port is required for setting the configuration parameter on the L400/1400 switch.

This means that the L400/1400 can be mounted and installed prior to configuration. Excellent real time properties are offered through both layer 2 and layer 3 priority support with four priority queues and the switch is incorporated with a fault contact in order to indicate any switch failures including user configurable port alarms.
