Features:
- Thirteen 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports and three 100 Mbit/s multimode ST ports join copper and fiber segments.
- Web, CLI, SNMP, RMON, STEP 7, and console access provide several independent management paths.
- Ring protocols, port-based VLANs, secure administration, and redundant power support managed industrial operation.
Copper devices and multimode-fiber links are switched through one compact Layer 2 platform preset for PROFINET commissioning.
Diagnostic counters and logs isolate port, packet, loopback, and system events without relying only on front LEDs.
The DIN-rail enclosure combines network segmentation and redundancy functions with a separately accessible console and management interface.
The Siemens 6GK5213-3BB00-2AB2 SCALANCE XB213-3 Managed Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Sixteen Managed Network Paths
- Copper bank: Thirteen RJ45 connections attach 10 or 100 Mbit/s devices over twisted-pair cabling.
- Optical bank: Three ST/BFOC ports carry 100 Mbit/s Ethernet over multimode fiber.
- Mixed media: Copper endpoints and fiber segments participate in the same managed Layer 2 switching structure.
- Port status: Front indicators and management diagnostics expose link and traffic conditions by interface.
Configuration and Diagnostic Access
- Local console: An RJ11 console connection provides a separate path for device setup and service.
- Browser and CLI: Web-based management and the command line expose switch configuration functions.
- Automation tools: STEP 7, DCP, LLDP, and PROFINET diagnosis integrate the switch into engineering workflows.
- Monitoring: SNMP, RMON, SysLog, counters, and port mirroring support centralized observation.
Layer 2 Recovery Functions
- MRP: Media Redundancy Protocol can close a managed industrial Ethernet ring.
- HRP: High Speed Redundancy Protocol provides the documented fast ring procedure.
- Spanning tree: STP, RSTP, and MSTP prevent unintended Layer 2 loops in supported topologies.
- Power path: A redundant supply input separates network continuity planning from a single feed terminal.
Access and Traffic Controls
- Port access: IEEE 802.1X works with a RADIUS service to authenticate defined network access.
- Secure management: HTTPS, SSH, and SNMPv3 protect supported administration sessions.
- Traffic limits: Broadcast, multicast, and unicast limiting constrains configured traffic rates.
- Segmentation: Port-based VLANs divide switching domains without changing the physical port bank.
