Overview |
|
Description | The Advance DataNET Hub (DNH) functions as a communication router |
| on an Advance Communication System (ACS) network. The DNH is a |
| fully redundant unit with dual electronics and with dual power supplies. |
| The electronics are certified for use in NEC Division 2 and IEC (Cenelec) |
| Zone 2 hazardous locations. |
Dual Hub Modules
The dual hub modules (designated DataNET ‘A’ Hub or DataNET ‘B’ Hub) are connected via a serial
HUB ‘A’
HUB ‘B’
I/O Ports | The DNH brings flexibility to the ACS with its eight DataNET downlink |
| ports, one Ethernet 10BaseT port for interconnecting of DataNET or |
| Ethernet segments and one uplink port. With its uplink port, the DNH can |
| be used to connect DNHs together to expand the ACS network, or the |
| DNH can be used as an interface to an Advance Network Gateway unit. |
| The DataNET ports can accept copper and/or fiber optic cables. In Data |
| Hiway installations the DNH can use the existing Data Hiway cables. |
