Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RX1501 is a cost-efficient, rugged Layer 3 switch and router. The RUGGEDCOM RX1501's
modular and field replaceable platform can be equipped with WAN, serial, and Ethernet options, making it ideally
suited for electric power utilities, the industrial plant floor, and traffic control systems.
The RUGGEDCOM RX1501 is designed to provide a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and heavy electrical surges typical of the harsh environments found in many industrial applications. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) allows the RUGGEDCOM RX1501 to be placed in almost any
location.
