OT Systems introduces self-configured and smart Ethernet switches

OT Systems introduces the comprehensive ET Series self-configured Ethernet switches and IET Series smart Ethernet switches. Both of these product lines are designed with simple installation and easy-to-use interface in mind, and can perform pre-defined layer two network traffic management functions with no need for PC configuration.

PoE and Broadcast Storm Control
Both self-configured and smart Ethernet switch series support high power PoE (30W max.) and are capable of supporting power-hungry devices such as PTZ IP cameras. The switches also support broadcast storm control (reduced to one percent) and increases network stability to ensure interruptions do not occur, in case any unwanted broadcast/multicast/unknown data flooding is experienced.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
The ET Series self-configured switches support IGMP with a one-click setup to greatly reduce the network bandwidth required. It allows a network device to send data to multiple network devices at the same time. It enables the bandwidth-hungry IP surveillance system to utilize multicasting in the data transmission between the cameras and video management system, saving significant network bandwidth.

Quality of Service (QoS)
The IET Series smart Ethernet switches support QoS to ensure that critical data can always be delivered in real time. It utilizes the traffic's p-bit in the VLAN in four to eight queues for traffic management. Since the queues use strict priority (SPQ), the low priority queue can transmit data only when the high priority queue data is transmitted and cleared. This ensures that important data, such as voice and video, can always pass through the switch in a congested data environment.

With the above sophisticated features, the self-configured and smart Ethernet switch series provide an affordable solution for IP surveillance and industrial applications that require simple network management.
