RLXE4GE24MODMS
HARDENED LAYER 3 MANAGED 10 GIGABIT
MODULAR ETHERNET SWITCH
The ComNet RLXE4GE24MODMS is a Layer-3 modular managed redundant ring
configurable Ethernet switch. It has four slots that can accommodate individual
modules that feature different combinations of SFP and electrical TX ports. One of
the slots can accommodate a 10 gigabit module with either 2 or 4 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps
SFP ports. The switch is designed for security, ITS, power substation and rolling stock
applications, and is fully compliant with the requirement of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE
1613 as well as NEMA TS1/TS2. The RLXE4GE24MODMS switch supports multiple
Ethernet Redundancy protocols, including C-Ring (recovery time < 30ms over 250
units of connection) and MSTP (RSTP/STP compatible). This switch can protect critical
applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast
recovery technology. This environmentally hardened switch is designed for direct
deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating environments.

WEB Management
Attention: While installing and upgrading firmware, please remove physical loop connection first.
DO NOT power off equipment while the firmware is upgrading!
Configuration by Web Browser
This section introduces the configuration by Web browser.
About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in flash memory on the CPU board. It contains advanced
management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the network
through a standard web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management function supports Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. It is based on Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and
present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need
to intentionally modify the browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network
ports.
