​

The MultiLink ML3000 Series supports the end-to-end transparent clock, boundary clock and ordinary clock as specified in the IEEE 1588v2 standard. This allows a timing signal to maintain its accuracy as it passes through an Ethernet network. Customers can reduce wiring costs by relying on their substation LAN to deliver a high accuracy timing signal.

Web Interface

 

Easy-to-Use Web Configuration and Reporting Software

The EnerVista Web configuration software allows the programming of settings in the MultiLink Ethernet Switches using a simple web browser. Accessible by typing the pre­configured IP address of your switch into the address bar of a web browser, the user-friendly graphical interface allows for easy navigation, monitoring and configuration through simple point-and-click operations.

​

• Communication status & port navigation

• Instant graphical indication of the status of all communication ports

• Identify the configuration of all communication parameters

• The ability to click on any of the shown Ethernet terminals to jump immediately to the settings screen for that port

 

Intuitive Menu Driven Configuration

• Navigate through configuration screens using an easy to understand categorized menu tree

• Configure all settings using menu driven pull-down fields

• Program alarm triggers by selecting from a list of all possible conditions

• Eliminate the need to memorize any CLI commands

 

Powerful Troubleshooting Statistics

• Monitor traffic statistics using intuitive bar graph representations

• Identify the amount and type of traffic sent and received through each port of the switch

• Simplify troubleshooting by identifying the number of CRC errors, collisions, and dropped packets occurring on each port

• Clear and restart the capturing of port statistics to allow for troubleshooting of specific network problems
