It supports quality of service mechanisms to prioritize time-sensitive industrial control data.

Installation Requirements

• Install only in compatible Hirschmann MICE series chassis
• Ensure 24 V DC chassis power supply operates within voltage tolerance
• Allow adequate ventilation space around the chassis for thermal management
• Follow ESD protection procedures during installation and handling
• Observe port speed and cable type specifications for each connection

Usage Notes

• Do not exceed maximum power and port rating specifications
• Inspect connectors regularly for corrosion in harsh industrial environments
• Configure network parameters and security features per system design
• Update firmware periodically for security patches and performance improvements
• Keep optical SFP ports clean and protected when not in use
