ImageStream's Delta Series switches are extended temperature Layer 2 managed ethernet switches that offer support for copper and optical fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet. Delta switches are available in DIN rail mount and rackmount configurations. The switches operate on 24 VDC natively, and can be powered using an external AC/DC power supply. The Delta Series offers a low-cost option for extended temperature ethernet applications in industrial and service provider applications, as well as other applications that require extended temperature operation.

ImageStream plans to release the entire Delta Series switch line by the end of 2008. If you are interested in Delta Series ethernet switches, please contact us.

Some of the features that you will be able to take advantage of are listed below.

Why an Industrial Ethernet Switch

ImageStream Delta Series switches are designed for industrial environments. Their rugged packaging and protected circuitry keep them working under conditions that will likely cause other switches to fail. Industrial applications are demanding — it gets hot, it gets cold — the power browns out or spikes wildly. You need a reliable industrial switch that can keep on going.

Enhanced Network Reliability and Performance

ImageStream Delta Series managed switches detect and report network irregularities before serious problems can occur. These switches support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) that allows you to monitor Ethernet and RMON statistics, and SNMP Notifications (traps) to report possible problems as they occur. Then the detailed information from these reliability-enhancing switches can point you to the source of the errors and eliminate hours of frustration while hunting down problems. These ultra-reliable switches will improve the overall performance of your network.

Fast Fault-Tolerant Redundancy

ImageStream Delta Series managed switches ensure that your system stays running even after a break in a communications pathway. This is possible due to the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) which lets you wire fault-tolerant loops or redundant rings within your Ethernet network. When a communications path is lost, the switches will automatically and quickly re-route messages through backup or alternate pathways.

Real-time Performance Ensures Deterministic Results

ImageStream Delta Series managed switches intelligently route messages to eliminate collisions, and use priority queuing (QoS & CoS) to ensure that higher priority messages are delivered first and in real-time. This automatic capability maximizes your network performance by making sure that priority traffic such as I/O control messages are delivered without delay, giving your deterministic software the open communication channels it needs. These switches also support IGMP for IP Multicast filtering for use with industrial protocols like Ethernet/IP. Plus they support VLANs for convenient network segregation, and they automatically limit the number of broadcast and multicast messages to protect you from undesirable "broadcast storms" that can cripple your network.

Ultra-Reliability and True Industrial Performance

ImageStream Delta Series managed switches are likely to provide maintenance free service for the life of your equipment. Reliability data reported from field installed units proves the amazing track record of these rugged industrial switches. On average, you will enjoy over 1,000,000 hours of trouble free operation before service is required on even one unit!

Advanced Security without Holes or Back Doors

The reality is that security is measured by its weaknesses, not its strengths. Unless your Ethernet switches have every aspect of security adequately protected, access to your network management is not secure. ImageStream Delta Series managed switches make sure that you are completely secure, with no holes or "back doors" for hackers to sneak into. They include SSH (Secure Shell) for secure and encrypted terminal access, HTTPS protected web server (the same protocol used to manage many e-commerce sites), authenticated communications (user name and password), plus SNMP v3 which provides authenticated and encrypted SNMP messaging.

The LINUX Advantage

The powerful IPm embedded-Linux engine is inside each ImageStream Delta Series managed switch. The IPm engine provides a Linux computer with plenty of horsepower to run your own application programs. Save the expense of a separate computer and enhance the reliability of your systems through this cost-saving combination.
