Plug-and-play installation. Smart Switches are configured

with DeltaV-compatible settings so that they can be installed

into a compatible DeltaV network right out of the box. They

require no user configuration to fully support DeltaV network

communications. There is no user access to make changes to

this default switching configuration so you never have to worry

about a misconfigured switch impacting network performance.

Plug and play requires any existing switches or network devices

to be configured to communicate in 100/1000 full duplex or to

auto-negotiate. See the compatibility sections in this document

for details.

Auto lockdown prevents unauthorized network

connections. Disabling unused network connections is a

security “best practice” and helps you comply with plant

security policies. With the one-click lockdown capability built

into the switch, you can automatically lock all unused network

ports in the system with a single button click in the DeltaV

Network Device Command Center application. Easy to secure the

network from intrusions.
