Thanks to the graphic OLED display, the encoder knob and a push button for each of the six configurable ports, the switch is intuitive to setup and the configuration is done in next to no time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grouping and the redundant fast backbone link make the XES-2T6 an ideal solution for interconnecting the stage with the FOH for instance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a layer 2 switch, the XES-2T6 is generally unaware of the application and therefore it works well with any protocol that operates on top of TCP\/IP and with many Ethernet based protocols. However, special precautions have been taken to ensure that the XES-2T6 works perfectly with Art-Net, sACN and Dante. The Art-Net specification for example expects the controller to only send data every few seconds or when an update is available. A typical switch might put itself into sleep mode when no traffic is observed, not so the XES-2T6; it stays ready to forward data anytime without delay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the increased acceptance of TCP\/IP and Ethernet based protocols, the proper operation of the network and its equipment has become critical for many shows. Therefore, it is crucial to professionally plan, configure and install the network for any show or venue. As a measure to further lower the chances of network outages, the XES-2T6 comes equipped with two separate switch mode PSUs that can be powered from two different mains supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized for Art-Net, sACN and Dante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo aggregated trunk ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroups (IEEE 802.1Q VLANs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour queue DiffServ (differentiated services) for optimal quality of service (QoS) with the Dante protocol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo broadcast bandwidth limitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo universal power supplies (redundant PSU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrik powerCON inputs and outputs for primary and backup power supply unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrik etherCON sockets for network connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack mountable, 1 height unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Swisson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42497243873458,"sku":"SWS XES2T6","price":1365.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/8122\/2322\/products\/xes-2t6.jpg?v=1665753786","url":"https:\/\/www.performanceaudio.com\/en-ca\/products\/swisson-xes-2t6-premanaged-gigabit-ethernet-switch","provider":"Performance Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
