A simplified path to a TSN-compatible infrastructure

The PLANET TSN-5225-4T provides real-time, low-latency network communication for industrial automation, 5G NR networks, Industry 4.0, 4K/8K video streaming, and VR/AR gaming industries by leveraging Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) technology and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2) for time synchronization on all ports.

The TSN-5225-4T supports TSN IEEE standards required for a complete real-time communications solution. These include the IEEE 802.1AS-REV profile for time synchronization, IEEE 802.1Qbv for scheduled traffic enhancements, IEEE 802.1Qbu Frame Preemption, IEEE 802.3br Interspersing Express Traffic (IET), IEEE 802.1Qci for per-stream filtering and policing (PSFP), and IEEE 802.1CB Frame Replication and Elimination for Reliability (FRER) for seamless redundancy.

The TSN-5225-4T eliminates the need for separate IT and OT networks, providing a more comprehensive approach to synchronization and precise timing for today’s industrial automation systems.

IEEE 1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computer Networks

The TSN-5225-4T features IEEE 1588v2 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) with hardware time stamping for precise network time synchronization, and supports Boundary Clock, End to End and Peer to Peer Transparent Clock modes. It is ideal for telecom and carrier Ethernet applications and supports MEF service delivery and timing solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.

Redundant ring, fast recovery for critical network applications

The TSN-5225-4T supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-healing capabilities to prevent interruptions and external intrusion. It integrates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and a redundant power supply system into customers' industrial automation networks to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In a simple ring network, the data link recovery time can be as fast as 10ms.

Robust Layer 2 features

The TSN-5225-4T can be programmed for advanced Layer 2 switch management features such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Through the aggregation of supporting ports, the TSN-5225-4T enables high-speed trunk group operation with multiple ports and supports failover.

Cybersecurity network solution to minimize security risks

The cybersecurity features, which require virtually no effort or cost, include switch management protection and enhanced mission-critical network security. Both SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols are used to provide robust protection against advanced threats. Network administrators can now build highly secure corporate networks with significantly less time and effort than before.

Modbus TCP provides flexible network connectivity for factory automation

With its Modbus TCP/IP protocol support, the TSN-5225-4T easily integrates with SCADA, HMI, and other data collection systems in factory environments. It allows administrators to remotely monitor industrial Ethernet switch operational information, port information, communication status, and DI and DO status, enabling easy, enhanced plant-wide monitoring and maintenance.

SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert

The TSN-5225-4T provides an event alert function to diagnose abnormal devices by signaling whether there is a network connection interruption or a reboot response.

Effective Alarm Warning for Better Protection

The TSN-5225-4T supports a Fault Alarm function that alerts users when something is wrong with the switches. This saves time and resources.

Digital Input and Output for External Alarms

The TSN-5225-4T supports digital inputs and outputs on the front panel. These external alarms allow users to detect external device statuses (such as a door alarm) and report events to administrators. The digital output can be used to alert administrators when a port loses or reconnects, or experiences a power outage.

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4, the TSN-5225-4T enables data centers, campuses, and telecom companies to transition to IPv6 with minimal investment and without replacing network equipment.

Efficient Management

For efficient management, the TSN-5225-4T is equipped with console, web, and SNMP management interfaces.

• The built-in web-based interface makes cross-platform configuration easy.
• For text-based management, access via Telnet and the console port is possible.
• For standards-based monitoring and management soSNMPv3 encryption provides secure remote management capabilities.

Powerful Network Security

The TSN-5225-4T offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) to strengthen network security. This allows network access to be restricted by denying packets based on source and destination IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, or defined network applications. Security mechanisms also include 802.1X-based user and device authentication. The Private VLAN feature prevents communication between edge ports for enhanced user privacy.

Advanced IP Network Protection

The TSN-5225-4T also features DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection to prevent IP attacks and block ARP packets with invalid MAC addresses. This allows network administrators to set up highly secure business networks with less time and effort.

Excellent Traffic Control

The TSN-5225-4T features powerful traffic management and QoS capabilities to enhance connections for telecom carriers and internet service providers. These QoS capabilities include Layer 4 traffic classification and bandwidth limits, which are particularly useful for multi-tenant applications, enterprises, and telecom service providers. This allows industrial environments to make optimal use of limited network resources and provides top performance for VoIP and videoconferencing.

Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 Software VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management

To help customers optimally manage their businesses, the TSN-5225-4T not only provides high transmission speed and excellent Layer 2 technologies, but also offers IPv4/IPv6 software VLAN routing that allows for easy connection of different VLANs and IP addresses for secure and flexible management.

Solution for External Management

PLANET's Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and the NMSViewerPro/CloudViewerPro app support IT staff in remotely managing all network devices and monitoring the operational status of connected devices (PDs). This makes them suitable for businesses and industries where devices are installed in remote locations, without the need for a physical visit in the event of a malfunction. With UNI-NMS or the NMSViewerPro/CloudViewerPro app, businesses can now be managed quickly and efficiently from a single platform.
