Traffic control mechanisms regulate excessive traffic to avoid delay, data loss and connection issues between devices.

Our unmanaged switches offer mechanisms such as Flow and Storm Control that prevent devices from overwhelming each other during the exchange of data and to keep the flux at a tolerable rate, hence keeping devices working within their capacity and avoiding the network from collapsing.

The lite-managed and managed switches have adjustable Port Settings that allow the system administrators to assign a Speed/Duplex, and Flow Control is on or off per port. Uses 802.1p Tag QoS by classifying data into high and low priority. Bandwidth rate limitations allows for configuration amount of ingress/egress data allotted per port.

Our network switches read the source and destination of VLAN tagged data packets and delivers VLAN packets without changing or dropping them, assuring operational data in industrial fields is delivered safely across devices.

Our lite-managed and managed switches utilize Port-Based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN to help administrators control traffic patterns, limit broadcast traffic, reduce broadcast storms, and prevents unregistered traffic.

Our network switches offer mechanisms such as Flow and Storm Control that prevent devices from overwhelming each other during the exchange of data and to keep the flux at a tolerable rate, hence keeping devices working within their capacity and avoiding the network from collapsing. The transmission of data to the control center or to other devices in real-time is crucial and assured with the help of the QoS (Quality of Service) and Flow Control features, the switch prioritizes data transmission and improves performance.

Lite-managed and managed switches use the 802.1p tag to prioritize which ports ingress/egress when traffic flow is high.

Our premium unmanaged switches have iQoS and Port Priority for critical data and have the ability to read 802.1p tags and data packets to the appropriate destination.

Lite-managed and managed switches streamline the execution of time-sensitive applications with the 802.1p Tag QoS by classifying data into high and low priority. Mission-critical applications in industrial automation like manufacturing and monitoring can be done without delay. MAC VLAN Table classifies MACs into a VLAN and a priority level. DSCP and Schedule Mode is great for when network congestion is high. DSCP tagging helps manage QoS by assigning DSCP values. The transmission of data to the control center or to other devices in real-time is crucial and assured with the help of the QoS (Quality of Service) and Flow Control features, the switch prioritizes data transmission and improves performance. See data sheet for specific models.

Industrial automation applications employ packet protocols that focus on delivering data under tight time constrains.

Select models are configured with iQoS to prioritize industrial application protocols and deliver time-sensitive data used in industrial applications first, including Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events).

During network discovery unmanaged switches can cause device flapping and make it difficult for monitoring systems to access device data. Our Premium Unmanaged switches avoid device flapping when connected to a managed switch. Using the LLDP Filter feature the device can be used in large networks. It allows other devices in the network to exchange identifiable data for accurate monitoring without concerns from detecting erroneous messages and false alerts in the presence of an unmanaged switch.

The lite-managed and managed switches utilize 802.1AB LLDP to exchange information about networking devices. This allows a switch to advertise its ID, capabilities, etc., and helps network administrators understand device relations without manual mapping, ONVIF support to streamline IP-based security device communications, and Topology map to visualize connected devices to a managed switch. Our lite-managed switches are equipped with a Dashboard allowing network admins to visually see up/down connections, CPU usage, memory usage, and TX/RX port usage.
