Features
Hardware
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228 has been specifically
designed and certified for industrial applications
such as electric power, transportation systems and
oil&gas applications.
Power supply
• Integrated power supply
• Universal high-voltage range: 88-300 VDC / 85-264 VAC
Harsh environments
As with all RUGGEDCOM products, Highly Accelerated
Life Testing (HALT) has been used in the early stages
of product development – to detect any design or
performance issues.
• Temperature: -40° C to +85° C (fanless)
• Safety: CSA/UL 60950
• Vibration: IEC 60255-21-1, Class 2
• Shock: IEC 60255-21-2, Class 2
• Humidity: IEC 60068-2-30, up to 95% relative humidity
Certifications
• IEC 61850-3 (electric substations)
• IEEE 1613 (electric substations)
• IEC 61000-6-2 (industrial environments)
Certifications in progress
• NEMA TS-2 (traffic control equipment)
• EN 50121-4 (railway applications)
Power-over-Ethernet (RUGGEDCOM RST2228P only)
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228P comes with up to 24
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interfaces supporting
IEEE 802.3at/802.3bt (draft with a shared power budget
from 500 Watt.) The individual ports have a maximum
of 60 Watt. For Power-over-Ethernet connections an
external power input is necessary.
Configuration interfaces
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228 is equipped with a USB
interface which enables easy in field configuration
and upgrading. The CLP interfaces allow for fast and simple
replacement devices in the field with the RUGGEDCOM CLP.
This helps to reduce downtimes when errors occur.
Software
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228 runs on Rugged Operating
System (ROS®) and delivers high performance switching.
ROS® supports the standard network technologies, such
as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Multiple Spanning
Tree Protocol (MSTP), Remote Monitoring (RMON), Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and others,
including proprietary protocol enhancements such as
Siemens eRSTP (enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol)
and Fast Root Failover (FRF).
Software features
• Quality of service (802.1p) for traffic prioritization
• NTP time synchronization (client and server)
• Smart power management for PoE interfaces
• Port rate and Broadcast Storm Limiting
• Port configuration, status, statistics, mirroring
• Simple Management interface through WebUI
and console interface
• Single file configuration ensures easy installation
and configuration control
Cyber security
Cyber security is an important issue in many industries
where advanced automation and communications
networks play a crucial role in mission critical applications
and where high reliability is of paramount importance.
Key RUGGEDCOM RST2228 features that address security
issues at the local area network level include:
• Passwords – support for multiple access levels with
separate credentials for each level
• SSH / SSL – extends capability of password protection
to add encryption of passwords and data as they cross
the network
• Enable / disable ports – capability to disable ports so
unauthorized devices can’t connect to unused ports
• SNMPv3 – encrypted authentication and access security
• HTTPS – for secure access to the web interface
• 802.1x – to ensure only permitted devices can connect
to the device
• MAC address authentication – control access to devices
that do not support RADIUS
