Using Diagnosis

The EDS-510A provides two important tools for administrators to diagnose network systems.

Mirror Port

The Mirror port function can be used to monitor data being transmitted through a specific port. This is done by setting up another port (the mirror port) to receive the same data being transmitted from, or both to and from, the port under observation. This allows the network administrator to “sniff” the observed port and thus keep tabs on network activity.

Perform the following steps to set up the Mirror Port function:

STEP 1

Configure the EDS-510A’s Mirror Port function from either the Console utility or Web Browser interface. You will need to configure three settings:

Monitored Port Select the port number of the port whose network activity will be monitored.

Mirror Port Select the port number of the port that will be used to monitor the activity of the monitored port.

Watch Direction Select one of the following two watch direction options:

yOutput data stream

Select this option to monitor only those data packets being sent out through the EDS-510A’s port.

yBi-directional

Select this option to monitor data packets both coming into, and being sent out through, the EDS-510A’s port.

STEP 2

Be sure to activate your settings before exiting.

•When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking Activate.

•When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press Enter. You should receive the Mirror port settings are now active! (Press any key to continue) message.

EDS-510A, Moxa EtherDevice Switch specifications

Moxa Technologies is a leader in providing innovative networking solutions for industrial applications, and one of its standout products is the Moxa EtherDevice Switch, EDS-510A. This robust, managed Ethernet switch is specifically designed for reliable performance in challenging industrial environments, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including automation, transportation, and power generation.

The EDS-510A features five 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports, allowing flexibility in connecting multiple devices. Additionally, it offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports for uplink, enabling high-speed connections to aggregation switches or routers. The switch supports both redundant power inputs and a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring continuity of service even in extreme conditions.

One of the key features of the EDS-510A is its support for IEEE 802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet). This technology allows the switch to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power sources. This is especially beneficial in remote locations where power availability may be limited.

The EDS-510A is also equipped with advanced management features that include VLAN support, port mirroring, and QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. These features enhance network performance and security, enabling users to prioritize critical traffic and segment the network for better control. Moreover, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for easy integration into existing network management systems.

Another notable characteristic is the switch's rugged design. With a metal housing that provides excellent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) protection, the EDS-510A can withstand harsh industrial environments. It is also compliant with various industrial standards, reinforcing its suitability for mission-critical applications.

In summary, the Moxa EtherDevice Switch, EDS-510A, is engineered to meet the demands of modern industrial networking. With its combination of PoE capability, advanced management features, and rugged design, it ensures reliable and efficient network performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their industrial networking infrastructure. Whether deployed in factories, transportation systems, or utility environments, the EDS-510A continues to be a trusted solution for numerous applications.
