The ONsemble Workgroup Switch provides true plug-and-play installation which does not require changes to existing Ethernet adapters or wiring and installs easily for immediate use.
Self-tests occur automatically when the unit powers up and when there is a status change in a port. LEDs report on the status of the switch and each of its ports. Network integrity is assessed through ongoing operation tests on connected equipment. Also, Service is simplified because it's done from the front of the unit.
With its modular design, the ONsemble Workgroup Switch lets you choose the most appropriate configuration for your needs. The Onsemble Workgroup Switch offers sixteen 10Mbs 1OBASE-T Ethernet ports and up to two high-speed network ports. One high-speed (115,000bps) RS-232 port is available for local or remote access or loading of firmware updates. Each Ethernet port defines a distinct Ethernet LAN segment. The internal switching capacity of 150,000 packets per second allows all Ethernet ports of the ONsemble Workgroup Switch to intercommunicate simultaneously at a wire rate of 10Mbs. Today, the high-speed network ports provide 100Mbs access to high-performance file servers via FDDI. Further, Chipcom has designed investment protection into this switch, as it does with all of its products. In the near future, the Workgroup Switch will support 10BASE-TX and 100VG-AnyLAN, giving you a migration path from one technology to another. Your investment is further protected by the expansion capabilities of the ONsemble Workgroup Switch which enables your switched infrastructure to grow along with your installation. The switch is stackable and multiple switches can be interconnected by its unique 200Mbs full duplex fiber Switch Bus. The Switch Bus supports distances up to 500 meters.
The ONsemble Workgroup Switch complies fully with the IEEE 802.1d transparent bridging standard providing address filtering, protection against bad frames and fragments and redundant mission-critical links.
A cutting-edge Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) increases internal switch throughput while providing full write-rate forwarding and frame filtering.
The ONsemble Workgroup Switch supports standard SNMP management using SNMP MIB II and the RFC 1493 bridge MIB. In addition to Station Management (SMT), FDDI is managed by the RFC 1512. Performance and diagnostic reports are available through any SNMP management system. The system supports as many as four inbound TELNET sessions for remote console access. The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and BootP protocol are supported for in-band downloads. The next releases of ONdemand NCS (version 2.0 for Windows and version 3.2 for UNIX) and the ONdemand SwitchCentral management applications will support the ONsemble Workgroup Switch. These applications will provide switch autodiscovery, graphical icon support and remote configuration and monitoring. The local console supports full system configuration, real-time monitoring, inventory management and easy access to all MIB objects through a unique MIB browser.
Long IP datagrams received at an FDDI port are fragmented into Ethernet frames according to RFC 830 and 1191, providing compatibility with standard FDDI to Ethernet bridging. The FDDI interface implements IEEE 802.111 and SMT 7.3.
