Hirschmann upgrades HiOS software to increase the power

and performance of its Industrial Ethernet switches.

HiOS software offers intelligent and unique  combinations of network

redundancy protocols to meet every physical and application requirement.

Redundancy – an extensive number of standardized and proprietary

redundancy mechanisms to meet any requirement.

Security – comprehensive security functionality to help you secure

your networks.

Ease of Use – an intuitive graphical interface, compre hensive command

line interface, and full SNMP support meet every management challenge.

Key Features

•  A combination of standards-based protocols and FuseNet coupling 

protocols results in a high level of fault tolerance

•  PRP over Gigabit is now available for existing hardware.

Only a software update is required

•  The incorporation of Classic Switch Software functions into HiOS ensures 

that existing networks can continue to be expanded many years into the future

•  Easy Access Control Lists allow control of what data crosses a network,

even in standard switches

•  Address Translation: 1:1 NAT allows the connection of networks that use 

identical subnets

•  HiOS supports the new 2.5 Gbit/s transmission rate. This provides faster

speed without a significant increase in power consumption or heat generation.

When used with Link Aggregation, it results in high speed data uplinks, at a

significantly lower cost than 10 Gbit/s
