GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Introduces Rugged Ethernet Switch.RES-110 standalone Ethernet switch A device that connects clients and servers to each other in an Ethernet network. See switched Ethernet. is designed for harsh military and commercial environments * Lightweight compact milled aluminum alloy chassis * -40x to +71xC operation * 10 Ports, Layer 2 and Layer 3 fully managed * Built In Test (BIT) function ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- GE Fanuc Embedded Systems GE Fanuc Embedded Systems, a unit of General Electric Company, is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico with operating locations and regional sales offices throughout the United States and around the world. , a leading provider of embedded military and commercial solutions, expands their already extensive line of network products with the introduction of the rugged RES-110 Layer 2 and 3 managed Ethernet switch. The RES-110 is an outstanding modular package optimized to meet customers' most challenging performance and thermal requirements in the harsh environments typically encountered in military environments or extreme commercial applications. This rugged switch provides Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. and Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. connectivity for deployment in harsh tactical combat environments. The RES-110 features an innovative wiring harness that reduces wiring weight, volume and complexity, making it ideal for integration into ground and airborne vehicles and other rugged Ethernet applications. Compliant with the MIL-STD-810E specification, the RES-110 is designed to operate under high temperature, shock and vibration conditions. "The RES-110 is another piece in our distributed architecture design for military and commercial applications. Based on our proven CP3 switch, the RES-110 is a rugged COTS Ethernet switch that can be deployed very quickly in a distributed network, especially when used with our Remote Interface Unit," said Dave Wessing, GE Fanuc Global Director of Defense/Aerospace Products. "Because the RES-110 weighs less than two pounds and is compact in size, it helps reduce overall system weight and is ideal for onboard Ethernet connectivity in aircraft and ground vehicles." The RES-110 rugged Ethernet switch is a standalone switch that requires no host CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. intervention. Switch management can be performed through a serial RS-232 interface The switch also allows administrators to easily configure features and monitor performance using its in-band Ethernet interface for Telnet or HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. and SNMP-based network management with a standard Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you. . The RES-110 is available for ordering now.
