Yamaha 10 Port PoE Ethernet Switch, L2, Dante Optimised
Details
The SWR2100P10G is a simple L2 switch, which supplies power as well as audio and control signals to a PoE compatible Dante device such as the paging station microphone YAM-PGM1 through just one Ethernet cable. Since the power supply and the network wiring can be combined, the number of cables being used can be reduced and the connection distance can be extended, so the degree of freedom of Dante device installation is increased and construction flexibility is further improved.
It offers comprehensive monitoring. The systems built around the SWR2100P-10G L2 switch allows comprehensive network monitoring from the dedicated Yamaha LAN Monitor software application, with PoE power status monitoring and on/off switching capability.
Understanding how multiple switches installed in different locations are connected, plus how network devices are connected to those switches, can be a difficult and utterly time consuming task. The Yamaha LAN Monitor makes overall network topology clearly visible, giving the user a comprehensive overview of how multiple switches and Dante network devices are interconnected. Simply connect a computer to the nearest SWR2100P series switch and launch the Yamaha LAN Monitor software.
The snapshot function makes troubleshooting easy. You can take a snapshot of the network status when set up as required. The software can then automatically keep track of the settings and alert you to any changes. You could take a snapshot of the network and then you are alerted if a cable is disconnected, if a device is turned off or if a wrong connection is made prior to the performance.
Identifying devices connected to a switch by only their IP or MAC address is a difficult and an error prone approach. Connected Dante devices are identified by a Dante icon as well as a device ID previously set up via the Dante Controller software. You can also enter additional info, such as the location of the device in the Label and Comment fields.
The switch allows Collectively Monitor and Remotely Restart Devices Distributed Over a Wide Area. If the monitoring device does not respond to a ping, it judges that a fault has occurred and automatically stops the PoE power supply to that device and then resumes it. This restarts the monitoring equipment and attempts recovery. By collectively managing the status of the devices distributed over a wide area, it can ensure that equipment management can operate far more smoothly.
Effective Dante network management hinges on a range of parameters such as network traffic, switch status and individual Dante device information. The dedicated Yamaha LAN Monitor application provides a comprehensive single screen view of all necessary parameters when used with these switches. You can even take a snapshot of the normal network status and set an alarm to warn you if any of the parameters changes, so that problems can be identified and resolved quickly and easily.
The Dante Controller application can also be launched from the Yamaha LAN Monitor with a single click, providing a total Dante network solution on a single computer.
