Features:
- The KEY-PLUG activates the documented Layer 3 function set in SCALANCE XM-400.
- Configuration data stays on the removable medium for matched device exchange.
- The 256 MiB storage belongs to the KEY-PLUG rather than the switch base memory.
Routing settings are created in the switch and retained through the inserted medium.
A replacement host must accept the same KEY-PLUG function and stored configuration.
The IP20 plug remains inside the protected installation of the network device.
The Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 KEY-PLUG XM-400 Layer 3 Data Medium may remain available for quotation and support beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
