709FX Industrial Ethernet Switch
N-Tron Networking Series
Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch
The N-TRON® 709FX compact, fully managed industrial Ethernet switch is housed
in a rugged industrial metal enclosure and offers a powerful combination of eight
10/100BaseTX copper ports and one 100Base ber port. It is ideally suited for
use in industrial applications such as factory oor control networks, utilities, wind
turbines, wastewater treatment facilities, rail car, intelligent trafc control and
transportation applications, and any other application where high reliability, superior
noise immunity, extreme ruggedness, and extended distance are required.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Eight 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 Ports
• One 100BaseFX Port, ST or SC Style
• -40oC to 70oC Operating Temperature
• Onboard Temperature Sensor
Remote Monitoring Options
• ESD and Surge Protection Diodes on all Ports
• Auto Sensing 10/100BaseTX, Duplex, and MDIX
• Store-and-Forward Technology
Web browser and N-View OPC (OLE for process control) server software provides
conguration and monitoring capability. N-View software easily combines with HMI
software to monitor network trafc, alarms, and trends. SNMP is also available for
switch link and status monitoring. Status LEDs are congurable to indicate power
failure and N-Ring status.
• Rugged DIN-Rail Enclosure
• Redundant Power Inputs (10-49 VDC)
• Congurable Bi-Color Fault Status LED
N-Ring Technology
N-Ring technology provides expanded ring capacity, detailed fault diagnostics,
and fast 30ms healing time. The ring manager validates the integrity of the ring
using health check packets and quickly converts the ring to a linear topology
within ~30ms when an error is detected. The health status of a ring comprised of
all N-TRON fully managed switches may be monitored. A detailed ring map and
fault location chart may be accessed by the ring manager's web browser or the
OPC server. N-Link allows the linking of two N-Rings. Up to 250 fully managed
N-TRON switches are supported in an N-Ring topology.

Ease of Use
The 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto conguring. Each copper port
is automatically negotiated for maximum speed and performance by default, but
can also be hard coded through the user interface. Ahigh-speed processor allows
wire speed capability on all 10/100BaseTX ports simultaneously.

• Trunking
• Port Mirroring
• DHCP Server, Option 82 relay, Option 61, IP Fallback
• Local Port IP Addressing
• Port Security—MAC Address Based
