RSPL-Lite from Hirschmann™

The RSPL-Lite switches from Hirschmann™ are optimized for the type of data communication used in the electricity supply industry, because using Ethernet to link the field-level transformer stations of a power supply grid calls for special network equipment which – such as the RSPL switches from Hirschmann™ – can protect the network against unauthorized access ensuring that end customers receive an uninterrupted power supply

They can also be used in many other areas like example in wind farms, production or security applications . They offer optimum solutions even under the harshest conditions.

The new RSPL-Lite switches from Hirschmann™, with robust hardware and a powerful operating system, are able to withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions.

The new developed operating software HiOS includes a new level of security available in industrial field switches.

The feature range includes Authentication (IEEE802.1x), different privilege levels, management authentication via RADIUS, account locking, configurable password policy, audit trail, configurable login attempts, HTTPS certificate management, DoS prevention to provide all-round protection against network attacks.
Gigabit Ethernet provides for a fast connection to the backbone, while connections to terminal equipment use 100 BASE-TX – either alone or in combination with 100 BASE-FX.
