Introduction

The EDS-518E standalone, compact 18-port managed Ethernet switches have 4 combo Gigabit ports with built-in RJ45 or SFP slots for Gigabit fiber-optic communication. The 14 fast Ethernet ports have a variety of copper and fiber port combinations that give the EDS-518E Series greater flexibility for designing your network and application. The Ethernet redundancy technologies Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, and MSTP increase the system reliability and availability of your network backbone. The EDS-518E also supports advanced management and security features.

In addition, the EDS-518E Series is designed specifically for harsh industrial environments with limited installation space and high protection level requirements, such as maritime, rail wayside, oil and gas, factory automation, and process automation.

Additional Features and Benefits

DHCP Option 82 for IP address assignment with different policies
Supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP protocols for device management and monitoring
IGMP snooping and GMRP for filtering multicast traffic
Port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, and GVRP to ease network planning
QoS (IEEE 802.1p/1Q and TOS/DiffServ) to increase determinism
Port Trunking for optimum bandwidth utilization
Port mirroring for online debugging
Automatic warning by exception through email and relay output

SNMPv1/v2c/v3 for different levels of network management
RMON for proactive and efficient network monitoring
Fiber Check™ provides a comprehensive fiber Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) function and event warning on MST/MSC/SSC/SFP fiber ports
Bandwidth management to prevent unpredictable network status
Lock port function for blocking unauthorized access based on MAC address
Supports the ABC-02-USB (Automatic Backup Configurator) for system configuration backup/restore and firmware upgrade
