Compatible with previous versions of

DeltaV systems

Switches are compatible with existing systems that are

installed using only our supported Cisco or Hirschmann

switches. Fiber communications of the Smart Switch will

only communicate at 100/1000MB full duplex (not

configurable) and wired ports will only auto-negotiate

communications (setting is not user adjustable).

Existing switches must be configured to run either in auto

negotiate mode or 100/1000MB full duplex communications.

Existing 3COM switches and media converters may not be

compatible with the DeltaV Smart Switch as they may not

support the required communications. The Smart Switch

will not plug and play in some older networks unless the

existing devices are set to match the specifications above

during the installation.

The auto switch lockdown is compatible only with DeltaV v10.3

and later revisions.

Please read DeltaV Books-on-line for important information

when retrofiting into existing DeltaV networks, especially in

systems with existing 3COM switches or media converters.

Fiberoptic connections on DeltaV Smart Switches are non

configurable and communicate only at 100Mbps on the DeltaV

ACN or 1Gbps switch-to-switch at full duplex.

Installing DeltaV Smart Switches into systems with existing

fiberoptic devices that are not set to 100/1000Mbps full duplex

will cause communications disruptions in the network.
