Cometh the hour cometh the Gigabit Ethernet switch
The ComEth4100 Gigabit Ethernet switch range offers nine or ten GigaEthernet 10/100/1000 ports, of which one can be equipped with a 1000SX/LX optic interface.
It is specifically dedicated to embedded systems in rugged military and aerospace internetworked applications requiring operating temperatures of -40 to +85C.
The switch provides management capabilities via HTTP server, SNMP interface.
ComEth4165 provides nine auto-sensing ports (Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbit/s) to the backplane (J2 connector) or a rear transition module (RTM).
Fully compliant with 3U cPCI form factor, it is supplied from the cPCI bus and remains independent from the other boards of the system.
Auto-crossover, auto-polarity, auto-negotiation and automatic MAC address management make the ComEth4165 a true plug and play wire speed Layer2 switch with Layer3 quality of service (QoS) functionalities and network management.
MAC based authentication, multicast (static and IGMP snooping), VLAN control and STP/RSTP are all supported.
The switch uses a novel virtual cable tester (VCT) to automatically detect cable opens, shorts, impedance mismatches etc.
