Product Description

3.1. Product Description
Viper 3508-TBN series consists of powerful, managed 8-port backbone routing switches, optimised for the needs of the railway rolling stock market. The dual bypass relay ensures that aggregated links between cars are maintained, even if there is a power failure in one car. Gbps ports and wirespeed routing cope with high bandwidth backbone, consist ring and end-devices.
The Viper 3508-TBN series is designed to withstand the tough environment on-board trains, exposing the switch to constant vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and a demanding electrical environment.
A GORE-TEX® membrane prevents internal condensation. Threading integrated in chassis provides for additional vibration resistance. High-level isolation between all interfaces enables direct connectivity to vehicle auxiliary power and protects against overvoltage and flashover. IP67 protection prevents ingress of water and dust. An overall optimised design results in an extremely compact package in combination with very high MTBF for easy integration and low lifecycle cost.
Thorough type testing at independent labs certify the compliance to a wide range of standards, not least EN 50155, where the highest class is achieved in all aspects.
The state-of-the-art Westermo production facility ensures the quality of each individual unit, e.g. through temperature cycling burn-in testing.
The WeOS operating system offers an extensive suite of IP networking features for resilient and flexible networks, e.g. the FRNT ring protocol with very fast failover. The powerful layer 3 routing capability ensures communication between the backbone and consist networks and offers full support for IEC 61375, including TTDP network inauguration and TRDP realtime data protocol. The backup device accessory matches the Viper 3508-TBN series in robustness and offers easy configuration update and backup.

3.5. Bypass Functionality
The bypass functionality secures connection backbone traffic in case of power failure by bridging the two pairs of ports normally connected to the backbone.
The ports are cross-coupled when in bypass. This is since the main use cases require the use of fixed MDI/MDIX settings. During power loss and connection of the two adjacent switches, the intent is to compensate for the fixed MDI/MDIX settings.

Table 9. Bypass interfaces

westermo Viper 3508 Series Managed Gigabit Routing Switch - icon 5 NOTE
In bypass mode, ports X5/X7 and X6/X8 are connected to conduct internal cross-over. The purpose is to facilitate use cases when these ports are configured with fixed MDI (or fixed MDIX). To support such use cases, the network design should ensure that cabling also conduct a cross-over between these ports on adjacent Viper-3508-TBNs. Then there would be an odd number of cross-overs between adjacent Viper-TBNs, even during power-loss of an intermediate Viper-3508TBN.
When bypassing a switch, approximately 5 m (16 ft) of the transmission range (100 m, 300 ft) is consumed.
As an example, if a network is intended to cope with a single car blackout scenario and that two Vipers in that case will be by-passed, the total cable distance through the blackout car to adjacent switches on each side of the blackout car, should not exceed 90 m (300 ft).
Normally, the Viper can handle longer distances, up to 150 m (500 ft), but this can not be guaranteed and has to be investigated case by case. Cable length data is valid for CAT5e cable.
