Phoenix Contact's new memory modules FL IF MEM 2 TX-D are two-port twisted-pair modules for the Modular Managed Switch.

Phoenix Contact's new memory modules FL IF MEM 2 TX-D are two-port twisted-pair modules for the Modular Managed Switch.

They store the complete switch configuration, including the management IP address, the password and all switch settings, eg the port configuration and the trap receiver.

The pluggable memory module provides instant configuration when installing or exchanging devices without requiring additional tools or software.

The module is simply plugged in, the switch is activated, and all parameters are immediately configured according to the stored settings.

Integrating a configuration memory into an interface module doesn't use any additional interfaces.

If devices are exchanged, the switch configuration is transferred when the interface modules are plugged in.

The two-port memory module is colour-coded to distinguish it from the other interfaces.

Memory modules are supported by the Modular Managed Switch as of firmware version 2.03.

As well as memory module support, the new firmware enables multicast filtering (static or dynamic via IGMP snooping) and port prioritising.

This means that Modular Managed Switches now support Ethernet IP.
