3. Product Description
3.1. Product Description
The Viper TBN is a managed backbone routing switch optimised for the needs of the
railway rolling stock market. The dual bypass relay ensures that aggregated links between
cars are maintained, even if there is a power failure in one car. Gbps ports cope with high
bandwidth backbone, consist ring and end-devices.
The Viper is designed to withstand the tough environment on-board trains, exposing the
switch to constant vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and a demanding electrical
environment.
A GORE-TEX® membrane prevents internal condensation. Threading integrated in chassis
provides for additional vibration resistance. High-level isolation between all interfaces
enables direct connectivity to vehicle auxiliary power and protects against overvoltage and
flashover. IP67 protection prevents ingress of water and dust. An overall optimised design
results in an extremely compact package in combination with very high MTBF for easy
integration and low lifecycle cost.
Thorough type testing at independent ISO/IEC 17025 and ILAC MRA certified labs,
accredited to a wide range of standards, show that the Viper series fulfills EN 50155 and
other requirements. The state-of-the-art Westermo production facility ensures the quality
of each individual unit, e.g. through temperature cycling burn-in testing.
The WeOS operating system offers an extensive suite of IP networking features for
resilient and flexible networks, e.g. the FRNT ring protocol with very fast failover. The
powerful layer 3 routing capability ensures communication between the backbone and
consist networks and offers full support for IEC 61375, including TTDP network
inauguration and TRDP realtime data protocol (pending). The backup device accessory
matches the Viper in robustness and offers easy configuration update and backup.

3.5. Bypass Functionality
The bypass functionality secures connection backbone traffic in case of power failure by
bridging the two pairs of ports normally connected to the backbone.
The ports are cross-coupled when in bypass. This is since the main use cases require the
use of fixed MDI/MDIX settings. During power loss and connection of the two adjacent
switches, the intent is to compensate for the fixed MDI/MDIX settings.

NOTE
In bypass mode, ports X5/X7 and X6/X8 are connected to conduct
internal cross-over. The purpose is to facilitate use cases when these
ports are configured with fixed MDI (or fixed MDIX). To support such use
cases, the network design should ensure that cabling also conduct a cross-
over between these ports on adjacent Viper-TBNs. Then there would be
an odd number of cross-overs between adjacent Viper-TBNs, even during
power-loss of an intermediate Viper-TBN.
When bypassing a switch, approximately 5 m (16 ft) of the transmission
range (100 m, 300 ft) is consumed.
As an example, if a network is intended to cope with a single car blackout
scenario and that two Vipers in that case will be by-passed, the total cable
distance through the blackout car to adjacent switches on each side of the
blackout car, should not exceed 90 m (300 ft).
Normally, the Viper can handle longer distances, up to 150 m (500 ft), but
this can not be guaranteed and has to be investigated case by case. Cable
length data is valid for CAT5e cable.
