BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Smart Grid and Cyber-Physical Systems Program Office of the Engineering Lab (EL) is building a test bed facility for studying the interactions and standards relating to communications and operation of equipment in complex scenarios. In support of this laboratory, to be located in several modules in the basement of 220, a Research Equipment Network (REN) is being established by OISM on behalf of EL to allow for various communication scenarios including participating hardware and software simulations. A flexible network architecture is required for this laboratory space to facilitate continual and well documented configurations of interconnected components. Furthermore, due to the real-time nature of some collaborations between components, highly accurate and precise timing is necessary to establish documented sequence of events and other data logging. Brand Name Justification The scope of the testbed is expanding and requires additional network switches that are compatible with the existing network Hirschmann Switches GRS1042. The existing network platform was custom built and optimized for Hirschmann Network Switches. As such, only Hirschmann Network Switches are fully compatible with the existing network switches and equipment.
