Port configured self-managed switch

Communication Networks (ComNet) is introducing a four-port self-managed Ethernet switch. It has four TX Ethernet ports that allow the Ethernet data from three of the TX ports to be combined and inserted onto the network through the fourth TX port. The self-management feature requires no user intervention and is pre-programmed to avoid flooding the network. ComNet says the CNFE4SMS offers management without the cost or user knowledge required for a managed switch. The device is pre-programmed and meets the I

Communication Networks (30 ComNet) is introducing a four-port self-managed Ethernet switch. It has four TX Ethernet ports that allow the Ethernet data from three of the TX ports to be combined and inserted onto the network through the fourth TX port.

The self-management feature requires no user intervention and is pre-programmed to avoid flooding the network.

ComNet says the CNFE4SMS offers management without the cost or user knowledge required for a managed switch. The device is pre-programmed and meets the IEEE 802.1x VLAN management standard. The fourth electrical TX port is designed to forward the data from the three electrical ports to the next switch, to a PC, or another Ethernet connection. Distances up to 100 metres are supported.

ComNet says the CNFE4SMS is a cost-effective and easy way to add IP Video to a network, and is designed for use in harsh environmental applications.
