EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual

Featured Functions

Configuring Traffic Prioritization

QoS Classification

The EDS supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 QoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. (NOTE: The user interface for the EDS-408A shows 8 ports.)

Queuing Mechanism

 

Setting

Description

 

Factory Default

 

 

 

The EDS-408A/405A has 4 priority queues. In the

 

 

 

 

 

weight fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied

 

 

 

 

Weighted Fair

to the four priorities. This approach prevents the lower

 

 

 

 

priority frames from being starved of opportunity for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

transmission with only a slight delay to the higher

 

 

 

 

 

priority frames.

 

Weight Fair

 

 

 

In the Strict-priority scheme, all top-priority frames

 

 

 

 

egress a port until that priority’s queue is empty, and

 

 

 

 

Strict

then the next lower priority queue’s frames egress.

 

 

 

 

This approach can cause the lower priorities to be

 

 

 

 

 

starved of opportunity for transmitting any frames but

 

 

 

 

 

ensures all high priority frames to egress the switch as

 

 

 

 

 

soon as possible.

EDS-405A, EDS-408A specifications

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.
