Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 is a rugged, fully managed, modular Ethernet switch specifically designed
to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding utility substation, railway and industrial
environments. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300's superior rugged hardware design coupled with the embedded
Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides improved system reliability and advanced cyber security and
networking features, making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control
applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300's modular flexibility offers 1000BaseX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper port
combinations. Optional front or rear mount connectors make the RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 highly versatile for
any application and can support multiple fiber connectors (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port density. The
RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with industrial grade DIN, panel, or
48 cm (19 in) rack-mount mounting options.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P additionally offers 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) on up to 4
10/100BaseTx ports. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P is an ideal solution to power and connect several Ethernet
devices (such as IP phones, video cameras, and wireless access points) where AC power is not available or
cost-prohibitive to provide locally.
