NT24K-16TX | Managed Ethernet Switch

The Red Lion NT24K-16TX Gigabit, Managed Ethernet Switch has sixteen 10/100/1000BaseTX RJ-45 ports. It delivers exceptional performance and ease of use. There is ESD and Surge Protection on all Built-in Ports. Designed for harsh industrial environments, it is DIN-rail mountable with operating temperatures that range from -40° to 85°C. With UL Class I, Division 2 listing and CE certifications, this switch is built to last! Coordinating complex motion within industrial environments requires advanced timing capabilities. NT24k PT models are IEEE 1588v2 compliant and provide support for precision timing using either Boundary Clock or Transparent Clock modes. The accuracy of these models is perfect for applications ranging from controlling robots to conveyor systems and oil and gas drilling. The NT24K-16TX supports up to 16,000 MAC addresses and features redundant 10-49 VDC power inputs to safe-guard against power outages.

BEST-IN-CLASS NETWORK MANAGEMENT FEATURES
The NT24K line offers several network features that help provide network visibility, uptime, and security.

 IGMP Snooping: Internet Group Management Protocol allows the N-Tron switch to intelligently forward and filter multicast traffic.

 VLAN: Virtual Local Area Network allows switch segmentation in order to create two or more separate local area network domains.

 QoS: Quality of Service streamlines network operation by managing packet priority.

 Trunking: Trunking (aggregation) enables multiple physical ports to be linked together and function as one uplink to another identically configured trunking-capable switch.

 Port Mirroring: Port mirroring allows traffic on one port to be duplicated and sent to a designated mirror port. -Used to monitor Ethernet traffic on the designated source port using the assigned mirror port.

 SNMP: v1, v2, v3 and Web Browser Management make getting and using local environment data simple.

 IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS: Remote Server Authentication, provides enhanced network access control.

 DHCP Server Option 82 (Relay Agent Information), Option 61 (Client-Identifier), IP fallback

 RSTP-802.1d, 802.1w, 802.1D Provides fast recovery in response to network changes or failures

N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING The N-TRON N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) Server Software can be combined with popular HMI software packages to add network traffic monitoring, trending and alarming to any application using NT24K switches. N-TRON's N-View Server collects 41 different traffic variables per port and 5 system level variables per switch. This information can provide a complete overview of the network load, service quality, and packet traffic. OPC client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly and improve system reliability.

N-RING TECHNOLOGY Offers detailed fault diagnostics, and a standard healing time of ~30ms. The ring manager periodically checks the health of the ring via packets. If the ring manager stops receiving these health check packets, it converts the ring to a linear bus topology within ~30ms. When all switches in the ring are N-TRON fully managed switches, a detailed ring map and fault location chart is 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.
