Description
ComEth4100 is built on the latest generation of Gigabit switch engine combined with an optional PowerPC processor for the management. The switch core contains a high-speed non blocking four traffic class QoS switch fabric. ComEth4100 is designed specifically for embedded systems. The ultra low-power design and the thermal monitoring make the integration easier. Each port is compliant with 802.3 standard. It performs all the physical layer functions for 100BT and 1000BT full or half-duplex Ethernet on CAT5 cable and 10BT full or half-duplex on CAT3,4,5. It supports Auto-MDI/MDIX. The ComEth4100 provides the ideal solution for multi-gigabit stand-alone switches or highdensity switching systems. Auto-crossover, auto-polarity, auto-negotiation and automatic MAC address management make ComEth 4100 a true Plug&Play layer2 switch. The Marvell Virtual Cable tester provides a remote identification of potential cable malfunctions as excessive pair skew, cable opens, impedance mismatch...
Configurable version
The unmanaged switch is "factory" configured from an on-board EPROM. However it is lightly manageable. It can be configured by a specific EPROM. As well a software running on a PC allows to configure and to control the ComETh4100. In this case the PC is connected to the switch by its parallel port. Only a part of the functionalities are available in this version of ComEth4100.
Managed version
The ComEth4100 full-managed version can be operated from a browser, PC Visual application, local console or optionally SNMP. The entire system can be easily managed and monitored. Many complementary functions are provided by this version : all the PHY and switch parameters configuration, monitoring of all statistical counters, ports monitoring, static MAC address, Multicast and VLAN control, STP/RSTP protocols, MAC based authentication for layer-2 security, extensive list of RMON counters for management in particular for SNMP.
Flexible configurations
Variants from 8 to 10 ports are available in 6U/VME, 3U&6U/cPCI Form Factors, for standard or rugged environments (conduction-cooled). According to the model, front or rear connection versions are available.
