Device search:
Broadcast search: Discover all switches within the same LAN (no need to know IP);
IP search: specify an IP address to locate a single switch (supporting cross WAN/Internet);
Batch configuration:
Firmware upgrade: Select multiple switches to update firmware uniformly (download. rom file in advance);
IP modification: Batch modify switch IP, subnet mask, gateway, support DHCP enable/disable;
Configuration import and export: Export the configuration of a switch as a text file and import it to other devices of the same model to achieve rapid deployment;
Device unlocking: For password protected switches, enter the admin password to unlock, and subsequent operations do not require repeated input.
SNMP and MIB: Remote Monitoring Integration
SNMP version: Supports v1/v2c (community string authentication, default public read-only, private read-write) and v3 (supports MD5/SHA authentication and data encryption, with the highest security);
Trap settings: Configure primary and backup Trap servers to automatically send Trap information when triggering events such as link disconnection or authentication failure;
MIB support:
Standard MIB: including MIB-II (system, interface, IP, TCP/UDP, etc.), dot1dBridge (spanning tree) qBridgeMIB(VLAN);
Private MIB: Provides Moxa-EDS-508A-MIB.my files, supporting monitoring of device specific parameters such as Turbo Ring status and PoE power.
Precautions and Applicable Scenarios
Model compatibility: Some features are only supported by specific models (such as PoE only for PoE models, ACL only for layer 3 switches), and the device model needs to be confirmed before configuration;
Industrial environment adaptation: Supports wide temperature range (-40~75 ℃, with "- T" model), anti electromagnetic interference (ESD contact 6kV/air 8kV), suitable for harsh environments in industrial sites;
Factory reset: It can be executed through serial port/Telnet/web console. After recovery, the default IP (192.168.127.253) needs to be used to reconnect;
Summary
The Moxa EDS-508A series switches offer rich industrial grade features such as Turbo Ring redundancy QoS、802.1X)、 Multi interface management method and batch configuration tool meet the requirements of industrial scenarios for network stability, security, and maintainability. The manual covers the entire process from initialization to advanced configuration in detail, suitable for network administrators and industrial automation engineers to refer to, helping to quickly deploy and operate industrial Ethernet.
