Description and operating instructions
i Rail Switch Family
The i Rail Switch modules allow
switched Ethernet networks in accordance
with IEEE standard 802.3 using copper tech-
nology and backbones in accordance with
IEEE standard 802.3u using copper techno-
logy or optical waveguide (F/O) in line and
ring structure to be constructed. The switch
modules are plugged onto the standard bar.
The RS1s (Rail Switch) have eight 10 Mbit/s
twisted pair (TP) ports and two 100 Mbit/s
ports. Depending on the type of RS1 the
100 Mbit/s ports to attach further more RS1
are supplied with FX, TX interfaces or both.
It is possible to connect up to eight pieces
of terminal equipment or other TP seg-
ments to the 10 Mbit/s ports using TPs.
The built-in control intelligence allows the
redundant coupling of several network seg-
ments to a higher network segment.
An RM1 (Redundancy Manager) has eight
10 Mbit/s TP ports and two free slots for
100 Mbit/s modules. The 100 Mbit/s ports
allow to close a line-structured backbone to
a ring with redundancy function.
The 100 Mbit/s module ETSXM-01TP(FE)
has one TX port.
The 100 Mbit/s module ETSXM-01MM(FE)
has one FX port.
