RLX2-IHG-A

Discontinued: No new product for sale. More Info
Recommended replacements: RLX2-IHNF-E

The ProSoft Technology 802.11g High Power Industrial Hotspot™ (RLX2-IHG) is a high-speed wireless Ethernet radio for applications up to 10 mi. / 16 km. The RLX2-IHG uses the 2.4 GHz band and supports a data rate up to 54Mbps. The Hotspot supports Access Point, Repeater, Bridging, and Client modes. The RLX2-IHG offers fast roaming, hazardous location certifications, as well as vibration and shock resistance.

The included IH Browser configuration and monitoring software allows the user to view network topology, assign IP addresses, monitor network diagnostics, and update radio firmware.

Caractéristiques Avantages

  • EtherNet/IP™- or Modbus®-based PLCs/PACs can use message instructions to read diagnostic information from the radios, helping to reduce down time when troubleshooting wireless network problems.
  • 802.11i, WPA-2 Personal/Enterprise using 128-bit AES encryption ensures secure networking
  • RADIUS security ensures secure networking with advanced authentication and encryption
  • Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) allow for secure network segmentation
  • Network Address Translation (NAT) lets machine builders deploy many machines without needing to change IP addresses every time.
  • Quality of Service (QoS) provides data prioritization for I/O control devices, video data, etc.
  • Ultra-Fast Roaming (under 10ms) maintains seamless, high-speed connections to one or more devices on moving equipment and machines (such as cranes, AGVs, and carriers) as they travel between Access Points
  • IGMP Snooping & Packet Filtering optimizes UDP multicast traffic for superior EtherNet/IP I/O communications
  • Supports the ability to communicate with multiple Ethernet devices when used with existing third-party wireless infrastructures
  • Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) to reduce cabling costs
  • Disaster recovery feature allows the radio configuration to be stored on a microSD card for quick field replacement
  • Connect serial networks (Modbus, DNP 3, etc.) over 802.11 wireless networks
  • Simple local and remote configuration, monitoring, and wireless network diagnostics via IH Browser utility or SNMP
