DS2000-IFR
The DynaStar 2000 Industrial Frame Router (DS2000-IFR) is a purpose-built data networking platform that extends monitoring, control and automation networks to large industrial and utility environments.  A rugged product, the DS2000-IFR provides a robust and reliable alternative to non-hardened commercial switches, routers, terminal servers and related network access equipment.

The DS2000-IFR combines local area network consolidation and high speed Ethernet switching with integrated access to wide area networks (WANs). WAN options include IP-routed intranets and frame relay transport networks, including providing an integral DDS or T1/E1 CSU/DSU for connection to wireline carrier services. The DS2000-IFR builds upon the same DynaStar operating software as the recently announced DS1500-IFR and DS1500-ETS (Ethernet Terminal Server), but provides twice the interface capacity for Ethernet and serial data devices, including dual Gigabit Ethernet and dual WAN (DDS or T1 frame relay ports).

DS1500-IFR
The DynaStar 1500 Industrial Frame Router (DS1500-IFR) is a multi-function, multi-protocol networking platform purpose-built for distributed industrial applications such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.

In a single product, the DS1500-IFR integrates five often discrete networking functions: Terminal Server (Async serial device support), Ethernet switch (local switching and router access), IP Router, Frame Relay Access Device (for IP or Direct-to-Frame serial traffic), and DSU/CSU (electrical and physical interface to the Wide Area Network (WAN)).

DS1500-DS2000 v7.6 Release Notes

With support for a wide range of Ethernet and serial (both bit- and byte-oriented) devices, the DS1500-IFR consolidates data connections from RTUs, PLCs, IEDs, HMI PCs and other digital data devices and enables multiple generations of equipment to share a common networking infrastructure. Optimized for wireline frame relay services, the DS1500-IFR can converge all traffic onto an IP-based routed network or provide end-to-end Virtual Private Line services that guarantee priority, performance and security for specific devices and applications.

A key DynaStar capability is simultaneous support for both an IP convergence strategy and transport of native-mode SCADA communications (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). With IP convergence, the DynaStar network integrates all substation applications over a secure IP routed infrastructure. Alternatively, DynaStar transports native-mode SCADA protocols directly over frame relay without use of “routable protocols”.

The DS2000-IFR and DS1500-IFR meet IEEE 1613 specifications for electromagnetic interference, temperature and electrical surges, providing a reliable and rugged alternative to commercial-grade devices in harsh environments like substations, pumping stations, treatment plants and transportation systems. They consolidate connections from a number of industrial devices having differing communications interfaces, including bit- or byte-oriented Async serial connections and IP-oriented Ethernet connections. By supporting a wide range of communications interfaces and multiple encapsulation options, the DS-2000-IFR and DS1500-IFR flexibly and cost effectively consolidates multiple generations of remote devices and support systems onto a single integrated network infrastructure as part of an IP convergence strategy.

The DynaStar DS1500-IFR now offers support for MPLS-Based Carrier Services.
