Industrial Ethernet switches span all applications
The Husky switch product line offers a complete range of robust industrial Ethernet switches from unmanaged to web-smart and fully managed SNMP switches in both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit versions.
It is common in industrial Ethernet applications that industrial switches co-exist with commercial ones in a network topology.
Generally, commercial switches use standard RSTP protocol, while industrial switches use proprietary ring protocol.
In a network topology that includes both industrial and commercial switches, network redundancy can be accomplished with dual homing feature of Ethernet Direct Husky Series managed switch.
The redundant ring protocol in Husky managed Ethernet switch is known as X-Ring.
Ethernet redundancy becomes more critical to ensure nonstop connection.
Husky managed Ethernet switches can provide the most flexible solution to let different Ethernet devices connected together, and also keep the redundant Ethernet working in fast recovery.
In addition, the HME-621 and HME-623 Series support SNMP and RMON, which are compatible with network management software IntraVue developed by Ethernet Direct's alliance partner, Network Vision.
