ISW-Series Switch Overview
Extreme Industrial Switches are a family of ruggedized Layer 2 switches designed to operate under harsh environments and extended temperature conditions. They provide continuous uptime, manageability, and operational efficiency. The Managed Ethernet Switch solutions provide full PoE+ power per PoE port, and are an excellent choice for industrial environments.
The full redundant ring technology available inExtremeIndustrial Switchescreates fault-tolerant networks with high availability. Managed Ethernet Switch solutions can automatically connect to a FabricConnect network through the Fabric Attach software-based feature, which enables the switches to be quickly mapped as endpoints within a virtualized Fabric Connect service.
Management
An RJ45 serial console port on the rear panel of theISW-Seriesswitch enables you to connect a terminal and perform local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the system to an out of band management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configuration. The Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. The ISW-24W-4X switch model includes an Ethernet management port that can be used to connect the system to an out of band management network for administration.
The ISW-4W-4WS-4X and ISW-24W-4X models also have a USB 2.0 Type A port on the front panel labeled USB. It can be used for a Bluetooth dongle or for attaching a removable memory module.
Cooling
All ISW-Series models operate without the need for active fans to provide system cooling.
Power Supplies
The ISW-Series switch is powered by two power supplies that connect to an AC power source and convert the AC current to DC current for the switch to use. The power supplies are redundant; two 240W power supplies do not provide 480W, they only provide 240W.
The power supplies must be installed by qualified personnel such as licensed electricians, in accordance with local electrical codes, and connected to a well fused power source.The power supplies operate without the need for internal cooling fans.
Operating Temperatures
ISW-Series switches support an operating temperature range from -40°C (-40°F) to 75°C (167°F).
