A Simplified Pathway to a TSN-compatible Infrastructure

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 industry by using the 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 needed for a complete real-time communication solution. These include IEEE 802.1AS-REV profile for time synchronization, IEEE 802.1Qbv for Enhancements for Scheduled Traffic, 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 separating information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) Ethernet networks, providing a more ubiquitous approach to synchronization and precision timing for today’s industrial automation systems.

1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks

The TSN-5225-4T features IEEE 1588v2 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) with hardware-based time stamping for precise time synchronization of networks, and support for Boundary Clock, End to End and Peer to Peer Transparent Clock modes. It is ideal for telecom and carrier Ethernet applications, supporting MEF service delivery and timing over packet 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-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In a simple ring network, the recovery time of data link can be as fast as 10ms.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The TSN-5225-4T can be programmed for advanced Layer 2 switch management functions 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. Via the aggregation of supporting ports, the TSN-5225-4T allows the operation of a high-speed trunk group that comes with multiple ports and supports fail-over as well.

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The cybersecurity features that virtually need no effort and cost to have include the protection of the switch management and the enhanced security of the mission-critical network. Both SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols are utilized to provide strong protection against advanced threats. The network administrator can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Modbus TCP Provides Flexible Network Connectivity for Factory Automation

With the supported Modbus TCP/IP protocol, the TSN-5225-4T can be easily integrated with SCADA systems, HMI systems and other data collection systems in factory environments. It enables administrators to monitor the industrial Ethernet switch’s operational information, port information, communication status and DI and DO status remotely, making enhanced monitoring and maintenance of the entire plant easy to achieve. SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert The TSN-5225-4T provides an event alert function to diagnose abnormal devices by signaling whether there is an interruption in network connectivity or a restart response. Effective Alarm Alert 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 Input and Output on the front panel. These external alarms allow users to detect external device statuses (such as a door alarm) and transmit events to administrators. Digital Output can be used to alert administrators when a port loses a connection, recovers, or during power outages. IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Support for both IPv6 and IPv4 enables the TSN-5225-4T to allow data centers, campuses, and telecom companies to transition to IPv6 with minimal investment, without replacing network equipment. Efficient Management For efficient management, the TSN-5225-4T is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the TSN-5225-4T offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
• For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session for secure remote management.

Powerful Network Security
The TSN-5225-4T offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises 802.1X Port-based and MAC-based user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy.
Advanced IP Network Protection
The TSN-5225-4T also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Excellent Traffic Control
The TSN-5225-4T is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance connection services by telecoms and ISPs. The QoS features include wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limit that are particularly useful for multi-tenant units, multi-business units, Telco and network service providers’ applications. It also empowers the industrial environment to take full advantage of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance in VoIP and video conferencing transmission.
