Featured Functions

Port Transmission Speed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting

Description

 

Factory Default

 

 

 

 

Allows the port to use the IEEE 802.3u

 

 

 

 

 

Auto

protocol to negotiate with connected devices.

 

 

 

 

 

The port and connected devices will determine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the best speed for that connection.

 

Auto-nego

 

 

 

100M-Full

Choose one of these fixed speed options if the

 

 

 

 

 

Ethernet device at the other end has trouble

 

 

 

 

 

100M-Half

 

 

 

 

 

auto-negotiating for line speed.

 

 

 

 

 

10M-Full

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10M-Half

 

 

 

 

FDX Flow Control

This setting enables or disables the flow control capability of this port when the port transmission speed setting is on auto mode. The final result will be determined by the auto process between the EDS and the connected device.

 

Setting

Description

 

Factory Default

 

Enable

Enables the flow control capability of this port

 

 

 

when in auto-nego mode.

 

Disable

 

 

 

 

Disable

Disables the flow control capability of this

 

 

 

 

 

port when in auto-nego mode.

Moxa Technologies has established itself as a leader in networking solutions, particularly for industrial applications. Among their cutting-edge products is the 405A Series, specifically the EDS-408A model, which exemplifies Moxa's commitment to performance, reliability, and versatility in industrial Ethernet switches.

The EDS-408A is an 8-port industrial Ethernet switch that offers an impressive array of features and capabilities designed to meet the demands of harsh environments. One of its main highlights is the ability to support both 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections, providing users with the flexibility to integrate a range of devices within their network. Its robust design ensures that it operates seamlessly in extreme conditions, with a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius.

The EDS-408A is built to support an array of networking topologies. It features advanced Ethernet switching technologies that enable fast and efficient data transfer while minimizing latency. The device is equipped with wire-speed forwarding capabilities, which is vital for maintaining high performance in heavy network traffic scenarios.

Another key feature of the EDS-408A is its redundancy support. The switch incorporates various redundancy protocols, including Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol), which enhance network reliability by allowing quick recovery in the event of a failure. This ensures continuous network uptime, which is critical for industrial applications.

Furthermore, Moxa Technologies has adopted an user-friendly web-based management interface in the EDS-408A, simplifying the configuration and monitoring process. This allows system administrators to easily manage settings, monitor traffic, and troubleshoot issues in real time. Additionally, the switch supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote monitoring and management, enabling organizations to keep their networks optimized.

Security is another paramount feature of the EDS-408A. It includes built-in security mechanisms such as port security, VLAN, and access control lists (ACLs), which help safeguard sensitive network segments from unauthorized access.

In conclusion, Moxa Technologies' EDS-408A model from the 405A Series is a robust and feature-rich industrial Ethernet switch designed for demanding environments. With its support for various network protocols, redundancy features, user-friendly management, and enhanced security, the EDS-408A stands out as a reliable solution for organizations looking to enhance their industrial networking capabilities.
