The What's New page provides a quick overview on the latest advancements from Sixnet.
Upgrade path offered for development tools
Sixnet encourages existing users to keep their existing Workbench keys so they may convert existing applications on their own time frame and with no risk.
The ET-18MG has these same ports plus two gigabit combination ports that support copper and fibre connections up to 80km and more.
These new products share the same compact footprint as Sixnet's ET-9MS and ET-9MG industrial Ethernet switches.
Open-source Linux capabilities and tools are combined with real-time network management functions to enhance the performance of these switches.
They offer secure and optimised performance with RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol) for fast redundant rings.
Even after a break in a communications pathway, messages will be delivered.
Sixnet managed switches can even detect and report network problems before they seriously affect network operations.
Other advanced features include VLANs, RMON, IGMP, SNMP and Qos/CoS.
Sixnet managed switches offer advanced security with HTTPS, SSH, SNMPv3 and more.
From the sweltering summers in Shenzhen, China to the subzero winter in Alberta, Canada, Sixnet products are the ideal ruggedised industrial solution.
Unlike office-grade switches that are intended only for use in air-conditioned offices, Sixnet Ethernet switches are designed to survive those extreme locations.
They have full industrial ratings, including a wide operating temperature range (-40 to +75C), Zone 2 hazardous locations, marine, offshore and more.
They have also proven themselves in military applications such as in LAVs, ships and aircrafts.
With their 20-year support and service policy, free field-installable upgrades, and over one million hours of uptime (MTBF), users can always be assured of the reliable quality solutions their projects demand. Request a free brochure from Sixnet ...
