Application Overview
Energy efficient, smart lighting sensors are being used in industrial applications which can be auto adjusted based on sunlight, seasons, location and lighting requirements.
Key Considerations
Key Volktek Benefits
| Feature | Benefit | ||
| Reliability | Redundant Power and Alarm Relay | Remains On During Power Failure and Notifies Users | Built-in surge protection, dual power sources, and battery backup ensure stable device operations for 24/7 network reliability. |
| Availability | Multi-Rate Fiber Port | Auto Uplink and Downlink Rate Negotiation | Metro Ethernet switches have multi-rate uplink and downlink ports for auto-negotiation. The connected devices check the speed of the network and set the uplink/downlink speeds accordingly to optimize their performance in the data transmission. |
| Performance |
VLAN | Connect Remote Devices | Helps to communicate with different devices by receiving and transmitting VLAN packets without losing or configuring them. |
| Quality of Service (QoS) | Connect Remote Devices | Networks typically operate on a best-effort delivery basis, which means that all traffic transmitting from ports has equal priority and chance of being delivered in a timely manner. When congestion occurs, the same traffic has an equal chance of being dropped. When configuring the QoS feature, specific networks can be prioritized, optimizing the network performance and bandwidth utilization. | |
| Security | Access Control List (ACL) | Additional Security with Controlled Network Traffic | Create filter rules for forwarding specific packets or denying network access. Network administrators use it to filter traffic and provide an extra layer of network security. |
| Management | Modbus | Support Industrial Protocols | Modbus is a serial communication protocol typically used to transmit signals from instrumentation and control devices back to a main controller or data management system. |
| Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) | Access Device and Network Information | LLDP autodiscovery allows a network device to disclose its identity and capabilities on the LAN. Device information such as port ID and description, system name, device capability, IP/MAC address, etc., is collected from the neighboring devices and can be queried using SNMP. | |
| Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) + TRAP | Monitor Your Network From a Single Location | SNMP allows large networks with thousands of nodes to be monitored from a management host. The data is used for collecting and configuring information for devices such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers. Volktek's managed switches provide management of SNMP traps or alert messages sent from a remote SNMP-enabled device to a central SNMP server. Effective trap management offers agentless monitoring, increase server, services, and application availability, and fast detection of network outages and protocol failures. | |
