Managed Ethernet Switch (UI_2.0_FW_5.x) Featured Functions

Warning Notification

Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always

know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial Ethernet switch that connects

to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time alarm messages. Even when control

engineers are out of the control room for an extended period of time, they can still be informed of the status of

devices almost instantaneously when exceptions occur. The Moxa switch supports different approaches to warn

engineers automatically, such as email, trap, syslog and relay output. It also supports two digital inputs to

integrate sensors into your system to automate alarms by email and relay output.

System Event Settings

System Events are related to the overall function of the switch. Each event can be activated independently with

different warning approaches. The Administrator can decide the severity of each system event.
