strategy and also helps network administrators assess their security strategy with the same benchmark.

Hirschmann IT Dragonfly Enterprise Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

Hirschmann IT Dragonfly series Wi-Fi 6 certified access point is the last puzzle for the Hirschmann IT

enterprise network solution.

Dragonfly Wi-Fi 6 access point has indoor and outdoor version. All models  support 2.4GHz & 5GHz

dual GE uplink, OFDMA, MU-MIMO and all sort of Wi-Fi 6 features that can deliver more capacity for

bandwidth with less latency, which is ideal choice for your high-quality wireless requirement.

Featuring enhanced WLAN technology with RF Radio Dynamic Adjustment, a distributed control Wi-Fi

architecture with unified access secure network admission control, built in application intelligence and

analytics, making it ideal for enterprises wireless solution. All DAP models except DAP620 has integrated

with BLE5/Zigbee (802.15.4), making it ideal for broad scope of IoT endpoints and applications.

Plug-and-Play Deployment

The DAP  Series works in a fully redundant cluster architecture to provide simplified plug-and-play deployments.

One single access point (AP) cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a group of APs and a virtual

controller, which is performed by a selected access point for cluster management. One AP cluster supports up

to 255APs

The access point cluster architecture ensures simplified and quick deployment. Once the first AP is configured

using the configuration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will get online automatically with updated

configuration. This ensures that the whole network is up and operational within a few minutes.

Network Management Platform deployment

All Drgonfly APs can be managed by DAC (Dragonfly Access Point Virtual Controller). APs is managed as

one or more AP Groups (a logical grouping of one or more access points). The DAC is a visualized, user

friendly and hardware free management platform. It supports WLAN management together with integrated

authentication server which helps define authentication strategy and policy enforcement for Employees and

Guest devices. The network administrator can obtain a comprehensive overview of all running applications on

the network and apply adequate control to optimize the network performance for mission critical applications.

DAC Management platform provides advanced options for RF Management, as well as WIDS/WIPS for

intrusion detection and prevention.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Features

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) allows enterprises to deliver high performance wireless LAN services with increased

throughput, enabling more clients in dense environments. Furthermore, it provides high power efficiency for

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, while it remains fully backward compatible with existing 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac

deployments.  Some of the key features enabled on DAP series are:

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) enables more clients to simultaneously operate

in the same channel, therefore improved efficiency, latency, and throughput. OFDMA can simultaneously

address multiple clients in both directions downlink (DL) and uplink (UL). OFDMA is extremely effective for

lower latency applications with mass clients such as voice and video transmission.

Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) allows more data to be transferred at once

and enables a single access point to handle a larger number of concurrent clients.

1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode (1024-QAM)

boosting peak data-rates by as much as 25 %.

BSS Coloring improves spatial reuse in dense environments by providing a mechanism for color

coding different overlapping BSS’s, allowing more simultaneous transmissions.

Extended Range (ER) provides increased coverage in scenarios where receiving side encounters

high path loss and channel delay spread, especially in outdoor environments.

Target wake time (TWT) improves power efficiency for Wi-Fi 6 devices. This capability lets client

devices to sleep much longer, and wake up to less contention, extending the battery life of smart

phones, IoT sensors, and other devices.

Easy to Configure

Our managed switches are easy to configure with an integrated password controlled web interface, via SNMP or

CLI (command line interface), providing secure remote configuration through the network. Configuration data

and device Operating System can be saved and stored on an external flash-based configuration storage device,

simplifying and automating commissioning and device replacement.

Security and Authentication

The Mammuthus series switches provide a full complement of port security features, including Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, dynamic ARP inspection (DAI), IP source guard, and media access

control (MAC) limiting (per port and per VLAN), to defend against internal and external spoofing, man-in-the

middle and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

MTS series switches also provide user authentication based on AAA, port security, ACL and 802.1x. These

features can help customer to manage their network in a more secured way.

Broad Product Line

The Mammuthus series switches have various interfaces including GE TX, SFP, SFP+ and QSFP, and the

configuration varies from 1RU fixed switch to more than 6RUs modular switch. Software feature set varies from

basic level, which includes full L2 switching feature, to advanced level, which supports many advanced L3

function such as MPLS and SDN. Thus, any requirements can be matched with a certain model without needless

budget spending.

Persistent PoE

In IoT situation, continuous power supply may be expected in any cases. The Mammuthus series switches

support PoE/PoE+ function, power supplying will not be interrupted during device rebooting.

Network Software

Monitoring and visualizing your network is made easy with the use of our Industrial HiVision network

management software. Requiring little or no IT knowledge, Industrial HiVision allows users to monitor alarms,

bandwidth utilization, and availability of networked devices – not just switches. Industrial HiVision allows the

user to configure a single switch or multiple switches at the same time, significantly simplifying commissioning.

Hirschmann IT Mammuthus Switch and Router

Hirschmann IT, a Belden brand provides competitive Mammuthus switch and router products with

rich feature set, high quality and high reliability, for IT/OT convergence and IT networking.

The Hirschmann IT High Performance and Multi-purpose switches portfolio set and standard for

quality, reliability and service.

New member of Mammuthus product family – MTR router series

As a key element of IT/OT convergence  Mammuthus product family has a new joiner – MTR series

enterprise router. The MTR series router extend the convergence network to WAN. MTR series

router and MTS series switches has the same outstanding software and hardware combined with

Hirschmann concept with ITOT network, which is ideal for intelligent industrial network.

Flexible Redundancy Technology

Hirschmann IT Mammuthus (MTS) series switches support multiple link redundancy functions, including not

only STP/RSTP/MSTP but also ERPS. ERPS is robust Ethernet redundancy protocol which can provide great

convergence performance. ERPS can help to improve network stability during heavy traffic, it can also help to

reduce wiring complexity without reducing network reliability.

All MTS switches support stacking which can merge up to 8 devices into one management plane. Switches are

also designed to have highly reliable hardware architecture with redundant fans and PSUs*.

* MTS2600 series switch only has one fixed PSU.

There are convenient options for managing the device. Administer your

devices via:

 a Web browser

 HiDiscovery (software for setting up operation of the device)

 management software (e.g. Industrial HiVision)

 a V.24 interface (locally on the device)

The ring redundancy concept allows the network to be reconfigured quickly

after a failure.

Product configuration data can be provided by:

 diagnosis displays

 displaying the operating parameters

 a label area for the IP address

The devices provide you with a large range of functions. Information

pertaining to these functions is found in the relevant operating software

manuals. These manuals are available as PDF files on the CD ROM

provided, or you can download them from the Internet on the Hirschmann

product pages (www.hirschmann.com).

The Hirschmann network components help you ensure continuous

communication across all levels of the company network.
