Epsilon-24000 is a managed Layer 2+ managed Ethernet switch module offering 16 or 24 10/100/1000Mbps copper twisted pair ports and two SFP optical sockets in a PC/104 form factor board. The 16-port model is implemented on a single PC/104 sized module. An additional 8 ports and the two SFP ports are available via a daughter board that connects below the main board.

Epsilon-24000 can be used standalone, without any connection to a single board computer, or in conjunction with a host SBC. The module’s built-in microcontroller handles configuration and management. On-board memory holds dual application images, boot code, MAC addresses, and other parameters, and can also be used for program execution. An RS-232 serial port enables communication between the module’s on-board management microcontroller and a host processor. Epsilon-24000’s built-in microcontroller is also accessible via a web management interface over one of the Ethernet ports.

Input power is provided through the built-in, wide-range +5 to +34VDC power supply, enabling operation using industrial power sources.

To address the temperature extremes of fixed and mobile applications in both indoor and outdoor environments, the module supports fanless operation over -40°C to +85°C.
