Contemporary Controls has created the following tutorials on how to enhance the performance
of your network with managed switches. There are nine highlighted features, each of which effect the speed of your network.
|
- Improve Ethernet/IP traffic on your network
- Automatically Controls multicast traffic
- Minimizes unneeded multicast traffic
|
|
- Set a maximum bandwidth for each port
- Prevent unnecessary communication traffic from overwhelming devices
|
|
- Isolate traffic between groups of ports
- Control access to the various VLAN groups
- Allow devices that need to communicate to each other the maximum bandwidth
|
|
- Allow "high priority" messages quick throughput
- Define message importance
|
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP):
Watch the Tutorial |
- Monitor switch port parameters
- Allows easy access to switch information for HMI, SCADA and other applications
|
|
- Control access to end devices
|
|
- Provides message troubleshooting access
- Allows messages to be monitored for message content
|
|
- Allows switched networks to be wired in a ring utilizing fiber or copper.
- Any break in the ring will be recovered in less than 300ms (with up to 20 switches).
- Relay contacts, flashing LEDs and SNMP traps help to quickly identify broken links.
- Supports dual ring structures.

- Any break in the trunk will be recovered in less than 10ms.
- Relay contacts, flashing LEDs and SNMP traps help to quickly identify the broken links.
- Trunking also provides more bandwidth between switches
