The XL-ES24 is a 6U managed-layer 2/3 CompactPCI fast Ethernet switch that provides maximum density, ultra-high connection speeds and improved reliability while minimising external wiring.

The XL-ES24 is a 6U managed-layer 2/3 CompactPCI fast Ethernet switch that provides maximum density, ultra-high connection speeds and improved reliability while minimising external wiring.

The XL-ES24 is compatible with Kontron's 2.16 compliant platform family, which includes the XL-VHDS, XL-PSB and the newly released XL-LP42 high-density packet switched platform.

The XL-ES24 is ideal for telecomms and datacomms applications, especially for OEMs developing next-generation Internet and voice communications networks.

The XL-ES24 provides 22 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet ports for PICMG 2.16-compliant in-chassis switching duties to the mid-plane connectors.

Layer 2 switching functions include two front-panel 10/100 RJ-45 ports and two Gigabit Ethernet (100/1000BaseT) ports for flexibility, fast connection speeds and speedy "out-of-the-box" communication.

The switch provides an auto-negotiation function for 10M/100M or 100M/1000M speed, duplex (full and half) and flow control.

It also has GVRP (GARP VLAN registration protocol) for automatic VLAN configuration distribution.

The new switch minimises time-consuming and messy external cabling to interconnect boards.

Console access is through an RS232 serial cable to configure SNMP, Telnet, CLI and RMON management functionalities and for system diagnosis such statistics, history, alarm and event.

The XL-ES24 features an easy-to-use browser and web-based management capabilities; routing and switching are at full wire speed on all ports, using nonblocking architecture.

The XL-ES24 is hot-swappable with corresponding LED indication, and also has status LEDs for Ethernet port link, speed and activity.

The board is compatible with all PICMG 2.16 compliant systems.

The XL-ES24 is available for immediate delivery in OEM quantities.
