Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RX1512 is a cost-efficient, rugged Layer 3 switch and router. The RUGGEDCOM RX1512's
modular and field replaceable platform can be equipped with WAN, serial, and Ethernet options, making it ideally
suited for electric power utilities, the industrial plant floor, and traffic control systems. The appliance's compact
form factor makes it ideal for pole mount applications or installation in restricted spaces.
The RUGGEDCOM RX1512 is designed to provide a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and heavy electrical surges typical of the harsh environments found in many industrial applications. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) allows the RUGGEDCOM RX1512 to be placed in almost any
location.
