The 10ETS Terminal Server provides “Next-Generation” configurability, reliability and functionality in a 1U hardened rack-mount package. The 10ETS offers space efficiency and advanced serial and Ethernet ports configurability for heavy duty industrial applications where maximum port count and diversity are required. The 10ETS also offers the flexibility of switching or routing on all of the Ethernet ports. Each 10ETS Managed Terminal Server includes advanced thermal design techniques that result in cooler operation of internal electronic components, leading to longer life-time and increased reliability.
The 10ETS offers next-generation reliability and redundancy with configurable Dual Hot-Swappable power supplies. Both high voltage AC/DC and low voltage DC hot-swappable power supplies are configurable in the 10ETS. Software monitors each power supply, and can detect power supply faults and signal when a power supply module swap is needed. The swap-out can readily be done while the 10ETS Switch continues in operation. Next Generation industrial terminal server features, for mission-critical control devices such as those found in power utility facilities in the Smart Grid, importantly include IRIG-B timing synchronization.
Each 10ETS may be configured with an IRIG-B Timing Card and a selection of IRIG-B port modules to provide time synchronization for Protection, SCADA and other devices.
The ten configuration slots in the 10ETS provide the flexibility for network designers to configure up to eight 100Mb Ethernet ports in different fiber and copper combinations and up to thirty-two serial ports. Both DB-9 and RJ45 serial connector types are available. Modules may be configured for regular port types, IRIG-B timing, or combinations.
The configurability of 10ETS extends to MNS-DX software features as well. A licensed software key unlocks additional features for extra security. Extra security features such as IPSec/VPN, firewall, RADIUS, syslog and other security capabilities can be added to MNS-DX via MNS-DX-SECURE, which also provides IP firewall features including address/port inspection/filtering; VPN connectivity over IPsec with strong 3DES and AES encryption and both shared key (PSK) and X.509 certificates. VPNs comply to various IPSec/VPN standards and have proven interoperability with other industry standard VPN devices. Cyber security capabilities cover both electronic perimeter protection for remote sites and management security for the 10ETS. Advanced statistics and event recording are available with downloadable local logs, SNMP MIBs and traps, and syslog remote logging.
10ETS Managed Terminal Servers have rugged metal cases for regular or “Reverse” rack-mounting, and auto-ranging power supplies for operation with standard AC power worldwide, or internal DC power supply choices. Moisture- and corrosion-protecting Conformal Coating is optional. The 10ETS units and all other products are designed and manufactured in the USA and have a three year warranty.
