AMG's Multi-Service Ethernet Switch offers unique features which will prove of huge benefit when implementing, for example, IP-based integrated security systems. As well as supporting Layer 2 Managed Ethernet functionality, this product also supports the integration of low-speed I/O, allowing Serial Ports and Alarm Contacts to be directly connected to the switch, without any requirements for additional hardware.\nHistorically, this requirement has been dealt with through the use of third-party Serial port and Contact-closure I/O servers, resulting in a disparate, multi-vendor product mix and corresponding issues with product integration.\nThis product uniquely offers a common web-browser interface for configuration of all aspects of the device - Ethernet as well as Serial ports and Alarm I/O.\nSerial ports and Alarm I/O can be configured as either point-to-point circuits, or as virtual circuits when interfaced with Management Systems.\nThese flexible, compact and easy to use fully managed Ethernet switches also have the benefit of Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols, and IGMP functionality to deal with the multicast traffic which is commonly used in IP CCTV deployments. |
