Features and Benefits  IPv6 Ready logo awarded (IPv6 Logo Committee certified) IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) for precise time synchronization of networks DHCP Option 82 for IP address assignment with different policies Modbus/TCP industrial Ethernet protocol supported Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time < 20 ms at full load), and RSTP/STP (IEEE 802.1w/D) IGMP snooping and GMRP for filtering multicast traffic from industrial Ethernet protocols Port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, and GVRP to ease network planning QoS (IEEE 802.1p/1Q) and TOS/DiffServ to increase determinism IEEE 802.3ad, LACP for optimum bandwidth utilization SNMPv3, IEEE 802.1X, HTTPS, and SSH to enhance network security SNMPv1/v2c/v3 for different levels of network management RMON for efficient network monitoring and proactive capability Bandwidth management prevents unpredictable network status with“Lock port”to restrict access to authorized MAC addresses Port mirroring for online debugging Automatic warning by exception through email, relay output Automatic recovery of connected device's IP addresses Line-swap fast recovery Configurable by web browser, Telnet/serial console, Windows utility, and ABC-01 automatic backup configurator Works with MXview industrial network management software   Introduction The IKS-6726 series of industrial rackmount Ethernet switches are designed to meet the rigorous demands of mission critical applications for industry and business, such as traffic control systems (NEMA TS2) and maritime applications (DNV/GL). The IKS-6726's Gigabit and fast Ethernet backbone, redundant ring, and 24/48 VDC or 110/220 VDC/VAC dual isolated redundant power supplies increase the reliability of your communications and save on cabling and wiring costs. The modular design of the IKS-6726 also makes network planning easy, and allows greater flexibility by letting you install up to 2 Gigabit ports and 24 fast Ethernet ports.
