A Sixnet product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 20, 2006

Five-port managed Ethernet board lets OEMs create their own Ethernet switches by adding packaging, power supply and connectors.

Sixnet has introduced a five-port managed Ethernet switch for OEM applications.

OEMs can use the ET-5MS-OEM-2 board to create their own Ethernet switches by adding packaging, a power supply and connectors.

Or they can embed this compact board (8.9 by 6.4cm) directly into their existing product or system to add Ethernet connectivity.

It is industrial rated for operation from -40 to +75C and draws less than 2W.

All Ethertrak Ethernet managed switches provide real-time secure performance with SNMP network management, along with RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol) support rings and other redundancy schemes.

This ensures the reliability of a network with automatic switchover on a segment failure.

The unit also has a self-test and alarm output signal plus authentication and encryption features.

The managed switches can detect and report network problems before they seriously affect network operations.

They come with IPm Linux open-source tools.

This enables integrators and OEMs to enhance their functionality.

The switches have been proven in military applications such as in LAVs, ships and aircrafts.
