Description
The RLXE4GE24MODMS/FE4SCM2 from ComNet is a substation-rated and industrially-hardened
modular-configuration all-gigabit managed layer 2 switch/layer 3 router. The RLXE4GE24MODMS/FE4SCM2
is intended for deployment in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and
interference (EMI) and severe voltage transients and surges are routinely encountered, such as
electrical utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, track-side electronic
equipment, and other difficult out-of-plant installations. The layer 3 static routing functionality allows
for the participation and foundation of a core network infrastructure.
The user-configurable modularity provides a truly future-proof platform that may be upgraded
or changed in the field at any time, to support changes in the user’s communications and
networking requirements as they arise.
Features
- Fully compliant with the requirements of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE
1613 Class 2, for use in electrical utility substations; NEMA TS-1/
TS-2 for Traffic Signal Control Equipment; and EN50155 for railway
applications - Future-proof fully modular configuration supports changes to the
users communications and networking requirements, and simplifies
network planning and design - Choice of 100Mb, 1000Mb, or 10Gb port speeds, with either SFPs or
fixed ST or SC optics - Environmentally hardened for deployment in difficult unconditioned
out-of-plant installations: Extended ambient operating temperature
range of -40˚ C to +85˚ C, for use in virtually any environment.
Conformal coating is optionally available for humidity with
condensation or airborne particulate matter environments. - Dual-redundant power supplies significantly reduce the possibility
of a single-point-of-failure, for the highest system and network
reliability. Multiple AC and DC operating voltages with front or rear
chassis power connection interfaces available. - Supports IEEE 1588v2 Precision Timing Protocol, Transparent Clock
Synchronization (TC), for protective relaying and control applications - User-programmable alarm relay for local or remote indication of a
fault condition - Layer 3 static routing, RIP, and VRRP functions
- C-Ring compatible: Network recovery time <30ms, with >250
switches within the ring, for Ethernet redundancy. - Com-Ring open architecture supports other switch manufacturers’
ring technologies, for seamless network integration - MSTP, with RSTP/STP compatibility
- IEC 62439-2 MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol)
- IPV6 internet protocol (latest version)
- Support for Modbus TCP protocol
- VLAN unaware: Supports priority-tagged frames to be received by
specific IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) - Provides HTTPS/SSH protocol for enhanced network security
- IEEE 802.3AZ Energy Efficient Ethernet-Compliant
- SMTP client, & IP-based bandwidth management
- Application-based QoS management
- Device Binding security function
- DOS/DDOS auto-prevention
- IGMP v2/v3 (IGMP snooping support) for filtering multicast traffic
- SNMP v1/v2c/v3 & RMON & 802.1Q VLAN Network Management
- ACL, TACACS+ and 802.1x User Authentication for network security
- 9.6K Bytes Jumbo Frame
- Web-based, Telnet, Console (CLI), and Windows utility (eConsole)
configuration - Rugged 19-inch rack-mount steel housing, 1 RU high (1.75”)
(Can be mounted in front or rear facing orientation) - No fans or forced-air cooling; cooling via natural convection
eliminates unreliable and troublesome fans/moving parts, with no
periodic maintenance requirements
