“Communications technologies come and communications technologies go,” said Rubin Dhillon, Communications Product Manager at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, “but Ethernet goes on for ever. It is the de facto standard for local area communications, and continues to surprise the industry with its ability to deliver ever-higher levels of performance. The RM983RC further expands our industry-leading range of Ethernet switches, and is ideally placed to capitalize on the continuing growth in Ethernet deployments.”

Capable of Layer-2 switching at wire speed, the RM983RC’s 12 or 24 ports are routed to front panel I/O and can be 10/100/1000BaseT, 1000BaseSX or 1000BaseLX. Mixing and matching of fiber and copper media in groups of four is supported. Scanbe front panel and urethane or acrylic conformal coatings are optional. The front panel I/O routing of the RM983RC extends the capability of the NETernity 6U VME product family by offering designers a choice of I/O routing; the recently announced NETernity RM982RC features rear I/O.

OpenWare Lite, which is available on selected NETernity switches, is designed to be easy to deploy. Linux®-based, the software allows faster implementation and easy updates to firmware. A familiar Linux command line interface and remote Telnet user interface support allows users to select how they interact with the switch. Management features include support for VLANs, MSTP, trunking, mirroring and limited SNMP.
