Light+Building 2002: LOYTEC Presents L-Switch

LOYTEC L-Switch - segmentation of EIA-709 Networks made easy: High-tech in a small form factor makes the L-Switch the ideal solution for structured wiring in EIA-709 networks. From small to large size networks - the L-Switch is the perfect component right from the planning phase all the way to the successful operation of your network infrastructure.

5 Ports replace up to 4 traditional Routers: New possibilities arise from the unique design feature of the L-Switch. With its 5 network ports it can directly connect 4 FT-10 channels and still leave one port available to connect to a high-speed backbone channel. In larger networks this high-speed TP-1250 backbone channel can be used to connect multiple L-Switches. The communication between the different network segments happens completely transparent to the nodes on the different segments and the operator of the network.

Plug and Play - We keep what we promise: Unpack, connect, power-on - done. As easy as that is the installation of the L-Switch. No complicated configuration is required to put the L-Switch into operation. Immediately after power-up the L-Switch starts learning the network topology and assigns the nodes and groups to the different network ports. Highly efficient routing algorithms guarantee the optimum data packet routing in the network.

Network Diagnostics - Your Lifeline to Success: Continuous monitoring of the health condition of your entire network happens as a background task besides routing data packets between ports. Each network port has a multi-color LED that indicates valuable status information about the network. Flashing green means network activity, flashing or steady red means trouble on this network segment, where trouble can be a traffic overload condition, noise on the network cable, etc.

"LSD" stands for LOYTEC System Diagnostics and is the perfect tool to manage EIA-709 networks. This tool collects all statistics information from all L-Switches in the entire network from any point in the network and presents the gathered information in an easy to use form to the installer and the operator of the network. Health monitoring around the clock - our contribution to the success of your network.
