Intelligently Designed
Pick any IntraCore switch and you’ll see why Asante is the choice for demanding users—and network managers. Take our IC35160-T, a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch. Each RJ45 port not only handles up to 2000 Mbps (1000 Mbps transmit, 1000 Mbps receive) at wire speeds with no blocking, they also support Auto-Uplink™(AU) so common wiring mistakes, like crossover (MDI-X), can be quickly detected and automatically fixed.
Ports 13-16 are special on the IC35160-T. Each is paired with an industry-standard GBIC port to accommodate a fiber Gigabit module (1000BaseSX or 1000BaseLX). For greater reliability, run both copper (RJ45) and fiber (GBIC) cables to the same port numbers; in the event of a fiber link failure, the IntraCore switch’s Auto-Failover™(AF) service will immediately route traffic to the copper port.
The front-mounted console port is handy for initial configuration (setting up the unit’s IP address, password, etc.) and troubleshooting. On the rear, a port accepts an emergency power supply (EPS) module for instant failover should the internal power supply fail.
Student-Proof Security
Employees are generally friendly, but IntraCore switches have been installed in numerous schools and universities where students regularly test Asante’s integrated security suite (ISS) against unauthorized users and even malicious tampering. Each security policy can be individually enabled. Integrated reports quickly produce alerts and graphs to isolate potential trouble spots. If Asante can keep students from logging on to a faculty network and changing their grades, imagine the piece of mind we can provide for your network.
