Fully Managed Features:
monitoring, the 7506GX2 offers web browser management and
N-View OLE for process control (OPC) server software. The
N-TRON N-View software can be combined with popular HMI
software packages to add network traffic monitoring, trending,
and alarming to any application using N-TRON switches. In
addition, SNMP is available for switch link and status monitoring.
The status LED can be configured to respond to power failure on
power input 1 or input 2, N-Link fault, port usage fault, N-Ring
broken, partial break high, partial break low, or if multiple ring
managers are detected.

N-Ring Technology - N-TRON's 7506GX2 ring manager using
N-TRON's N-Ring technology offers expanded ring size capacity,
detailed fault diagnostics, and a standard healing time of ~30ms.
The 7506GX2 ring manager periodically checks the health of the
ring via heart beat packets. If the ring manager stops receiving these
health check packets, it converts the ring to a linear topology within
~30ms. When all switches in the ring are N-TRON fully managed
switches, a detailed ring map and fault location chart will also be
provided on the ring manager’s web browser and OPC server to
identify the health status of the ring. N-Link™ allows the linking
of two N-Rings. Up to 250 fully managed N-TRON switches can
participate in N-Ring topologies.
• DHCPServer, Option 82 relay, Option 61, IPFallback
• Local Port IP Addressing
• Port Security—MAC Address Based
Industrial Packaging and Specifications - The 7506GX2 is
designed to operate in industrial environments. It is housed in a
rugged extruded aluminum DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended
industrial specifications and features to meet or exceed the operating
parameters of connected equipment. These include extended
temperature ratings, extended shock and vibration specs, redundant
power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).
Ease of Use - The 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports are auto sensing
and auto configuring. Each copper port is automatically negotiated
for maximum speed and performance by default, but can also be
hard coded through the user interface. A high speed processor
allows wire speed capability on all 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports
simultaneously.
