Industrial switches keep gigabit networks up
Husky Series HMG-825 and HMG-826 managed industrial Gigabit Ethernet switches have many management features that help to keep networks intact.
Avoid the complexities and hardware specific requirements of DHCP Option 82.
Auto-IP can configure a device using its "plug and play" mechanism: simply plug in the Ethernet cable and power up the device.
Every time and any time you need to replace or install a new device it will be up and running in a fraction of the time previously required.
Auto-IP works in co-operation with managed switches from any supplier, thus providing a truly open solution.
The Husky switch is also compatible with Auto-IP.
This powerful feature not only reduces downtime by eliminating the process of identifying the IP address and manually adding it in the replacement unit, but also increases safety in the automation system by eliminating the potential for erroneous IP configurations.
Security is increased by monitoring all devices on the network that are making new IP address requests.
Because it is vendor neutral and fully compatible with DHCP services, this solution reduces the added cost in both equipment and support.
Auto-IP eliminates the complexity from modified switch configuration firmware and/or unique hardware.
Ethernet Direct is the exclusive distributor of IntraVue and Auto-IP in Taiwan and China, and also sells throughout Asia.
