Introduction
The EDS-518A standalone 18-port managed Ethernet switches provide 2 combo Gigabit ports with built-in RJ45 or SFP slots for Gigabit fiber-optic
communication. The Ethernet redundancy technologies Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time < 20 ms) increase the reliability and speed of
your network backbone. The EDS-518A switches also support advanced management and security features.

Additional Features and Benefits

• Command line interface (CLI) for quickly configuring major • Port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, and GVRP to ease network
managed functions planning
• DHCP Option 82 for IP address assignment with different policies • QoS (IEEE 802.1p and TOS/DiffServ) to increase determinism
• Supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols for device • Port Trunking for optimum bandwidth utilization
management and monitoring • SNMPv1/v2c/v3 for different levels of network management
• Compatible with PROFINET protocol for transparent data • RMON for proactive and efficient network monitoring
transmission • Bandwidth management to prevent unpredictable network status
• Supports the ABC-01-USB (Automatic Backup Configurator) for • Automatic warning by exception through email and relay output
system configuration backup
• IGMP snooping and GMRP for filtering multicast traffic

Note: When connecting a single-mode fiber transceiver, we recommend using an

attenuator to prevent damage caused by excessive optical power.
Note: Compute the “typical distance” of a specific fiber transceiver as follows: Link
budget (dB) > dispersion penalty (dB) + total link loss (dB).
