The SecureSwitch I-Series provides business-oriented, policy-based visibility and control of users, sensors, and applications without manual configuration of access control lists on each device for individual ports and VLANs in a ruggedized industrial platform. Each user and networked device (sensor, computer, printer, camera, badge access reader, etc.) is authenticated before being granted access to the network with a specific set of authorized privileges based on time and location. The switch is rated ANSI/ISA Class 1, Division 2 and features convection cooling, redundant DC power, and self-healing, rapid-recovery ring topology protocols.
