Taipei, Taiwan, September 13, 2006 – Ethernet Direct announces that Husky Series Industrial Ethernet Switch is now compatible with Auto-IP, a management software developed by Ethernet Direct’s alliance partner Network Vision Inc., known for the popular Network Management software, IntraVUE™.Auto-IP is the easiest and most cost effective method to automatically assign fixed IP addresses to replacement equipment! Avoid the complexities and hardware specific requirements of DHCP Option 82. Auto-IP will configure your device for you with an easy "plug and play" mechanism. Simply plug in the Ethernet cable and power up the device.
Every time and any time you need to replace or install a new device it will be up and running in a fraction of the time previously required. Auto-IP works in cooperation with managed switches from any supplier, thus providing a truly open solution.Ethernet Direct Husky Switch is also compatible with Auto-IP now. This powerful feature not only reduces downtime by eliminating the process of identifying the IP address and manually adding it in the replacement unit, but also increases safety in the automation system by eliminating the potential for erroneous IP configurations. Not to mention the security is increased by monitoring all devices on the network that are making new IP address requests.
And what’s the best is the reduced cost. Because it is vendor neutral and fully compatible with DHCP services, this solution reduces the added cost in both equipment and support. Auto-IP eliminates the complexity from modified switch configuration firmware and/or unique hardware. Ethernet Direct is the EXCLUSIVE distributor of IntraVUE and Auto-IP in Taiwan and China, and also sells throughout Asia.
In cooperation with the founder of Network Vision Inc., Mr. Mark Fondl, Ethernet Direct’s Husky switches are compatible with IntraVUE and Auto-IP, bringing a cutting edge feature in the Industrial Ethernet technology. Ethernet Direct Husky Series Industrial Ethernet Switch is the ONLY industrial Ethernet switch acknowledged by Network Vision Inc.
