PT-7324 Series User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
Reliable network operation is a must for many applications, including Power Automation and
Transportation Automation. Network equipment must be protected against electrical surges and
EMI, extreme temperature variations, and other environmental threats. The Moxa PowerTrans
series is designed to meet the demands of power substation automation systems (IEC 61850-3,
IEEE 1613), traffic control systems (NEMA TS 2), and railway applications (EN50121-4).
In addition to a rugged hardware design for critical environments, the PowerTrans PT-7324 Smart
Ethernet Switch is also equipped with “smart” features, “Class of Service” features suitable for
multimedia applications, and port-based VLAN features that can be used to segment your network
without being restricted by physical connections. If you do not want to receive too many broadcast
packets, the broadcast storm filtering feature will discard broadcast packets if the number of such
packets exceed a threshold in a preset period of time.
