FULLY RUGGED: CLOUDBERRY CR-6200-MIL SERIES

Product Description

The Cloudberry MIL CR-6228 Series - Fully Rugged up to 28-Port Managed Gigabit/10Gigabit Ethernet Switch/Router and Computer with PTP GMC, TC/SC capability for Aerospace and Defense applications

 The Cloudberry CR-6228-MIL Series Rugged (VICTORY ready) Gigabit/10Gigabit Ethernet Switch/Router with IEEE 1588 PTP GMC capability is a Fully Managed Layer 2/3 Ethernet Switch with up to twenty-four (24) Gigabit Ethernet and four (4) 10Gigabit Ethernet ports, copper or fiber, specifically designed to reliably provide high-performance connectivity for extremely demanding size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints in the harsh climatically and noisy electrical demanding environments (e.g. high altitude, extreme shock, & vibration, extended temperatures, humidity, dust & water exposure, noisy EMI, dirty power) for applications on land, in the air and on sea.

The new CR-6228 Series provides up to four (4) different capabilities in one SWaP-optimized Multi-Function COTS all-in-one platform:

Switching Network Ethernet switch: Layer 2/3 switch with up to 28 ports, including up to 4x 10GbE copper or fiber ports
Routing Network Ethernet Router: Layer 3 router option
  • OnTime VyOS router package
  • Cisco 5921 Embedded Services Router (ESR) with Advanced Enterprise protocols
  • Architecture Technology Corp. (ATC) Routing and Encryption Suite (ARES) with NIAP, CSfC, and Common Criteria (CC) certification
GPS Time Server Capability: (IEEE 1588 PTP, NTP, IRIG-B, PPS and 10MHz)
Version Translation Rugged Computer: Single Board Computer (SBC) with intel Atom E3845 or E3900 series, with:
  • One (1) DisplayPort out
  • Up to 32GB DDR3
  • Two (2) USB 2.0 ports
  • Specialized or custom solutions firmware
  • One (1) serial port with RS-232

The CR-6228 with its sealed IP68 aluminum chassis has been designed to meet MIL-STD-461F EMI/EMC and MIL-STD-810G thermal, shock, vibe, humidity, altitude, and ingress conditions. The unit features no moving parts, EMI filtering, and isolated MIL-STD-1275D/E power supply that protects against vehicle voltage surges, spikes and transients.

Its performance is optimized for a large numbers of IP-enabled embedded devices, such as computers, cameras, sensors, and command-and-control equipment, deployed in manned and unmanned system platforms at the network edge.

The CR-6228 supports the latest generation of IPv6 switching, allowing it to meet the most challenging requirements for next generation DoD networks. IPv6 provides improved network security and reliability, while support for more network addresses allows for a greater number of interconnected devices. Additional management and configuration features include quality of service (QoS) prioritization, VLANs, LAG, SNMP, RSTP, VRRP, IGMP and traffic policing, providing customers the flexibility to meet their unique networking requirements.

The CR-6228 Series is a reliable and accurate PTP Grand Master Clock (GMC) or Transparent Clock/Slave Clock (TC/SC) fulfilling IEEE 1588 STD 2002 (v1) and IEEE 1588 STD 2008 (v2). Both PTPv1 and PTPv2 Slave clocks can co-exist in the same network by using the PTP version translator feature of the CR-6200-MIL platform. The switch can also act as a NTP Network Time Server (NTS) and provide GPS emulation output both when enabled as a GMC and when operating as a TC/SC. GPS emulation means Pulse Per Second (PPS) output signals via GPO pins in the power connector (TTL) and NMEA telegrams via RS232 in the same connector. An IRIG-B002 output (TTL) signal can be provided via GPO pins in the power connector.

The CR-6228 MIL Series is an advanced and highly engineered Gigabit switch that addresses complexity, enable modularity and provides growth, while delivering optimal performance for Space, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C) constrained military applications onboard vehicles and aircraft platforms. The unit designed to meet the environmental requirements of MIL-STD 810G and the EMI/EMC requirements (Conducted & Radiated Emissions & Susceptibility) of MIL-STD 461F and 1275D/E.

This fully managed, Layer 2/3 Gigabit switch provides a powerful set of networking features, including support for IPv4 multicast traffic filtering according to static filters or IGMP snooping, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), port control (speed / mode / statistics, flow control), Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization, Link Aggregation (802.3ad), SNMP v1/v2/v3 management, secure authentication (802.1X, ACLs, Web/CLI), redundancy (RSTP/MSTP) and port mirroring.

The 28VDC redundant power input with polarity protection and power hold-up (option) support is available through the 5 pin power connector. The CR-6228 provides a total of 28 Ethernet ports, of which 24 ports are 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports and 4 ports are 1000 or 10000 BASE-T or SR ports. The 24 ports are 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports are provided via two (2) MIL-DTL-38999 128pin connectors and the additional four (4) individual 1000 or 10000 BASE-T are provided via four (4) Ceelok FAS-T connectors or in the case of SR optical ports these are provided via one (1) MT-38999 connector.

The new CR-6228 Series not only combines the latest hardware and software in a SWaP optimized packaging, but also features unheard of modularity (mix and match functionality), which is highly attractive to address Department of Defense (DoD) program needs.

Key Features

The CloudberryMIL CR-6228-MIL Series offers switches with and without time synchronization support for Defense applications.

Routing The CR-6228-MIL offers three (3) advanced router packages, including IPv4/IPv6 routing, VPN, IP address management and firewall capabilities
  • OnTime VyOS router package
  • Cisco 5921 Embedded Services Router (ESR) with Advanced Enterprise protocols
  • Architecture Technology Corp. (ATC) Routing and Encryption Suite (ARES) with NIAP, CSfC, and Common Criteria (CC) certification
Time Distribution The CR-6228-MIL Series is available as a reliable and accurate (> 20 nanosecond) PTP Grand Master Clock and Transparent/Slave Clock according to IEEE 1588 Std 2002 (PTPv1) or IEEE 1588 Std 2008 (PTPv2) standards, as well as NTP Network Time Server (NTS)
GPS The CR-6228-MIL Series with PTP Grand Master Clock capability contains a built-in high accuracy GPS receiver.
Filtering The CR-6228-MIL Series offers advanced filtering capabilities. Multicast filters can be set on the switch, based on IGMP snooping or by manual configuration of static filters. Layer 4 filtering can be done based on UDP destination or source port numbers of UDP/IP packets.
Rugged The CR-6228-MIL series is designed for the harsh aircraft and military environment. The platform offers a wide operating temperature range [-40 to +71CÂș] with ruggedized military approved connectors. The unit is designed to comply to MIL-STD-180G, 461D and 1275D/E.
Interoperability The CR-6228-MIL Series supports all relevant IEEE Ethernet standards. Interoperability with other PTP devices is ensured based on extensive testing.
Management The CR-6228-MIL Series offer full management based on HTTP, telnet, CLI or SNMP v1/v2/v3.
Version Translation The CR-6228-MIL Series, with its unique embedded PTP version translator feature, allows Slave Clocks of both PTPv1 and PTPv2 to co-exist in the same network. The need for PTP version translation is driven by the fact that PTPV1 (IEEE 1588 2002) is not backward compatible with PTPv2 (IEEE 1588 2008). Both PTP versions cannot co-exist in the same network unless a PTP version translator is used. OnTime Networks offers a cost efficient solution by introducing a PTP version translation feature into its products which helps to protect your PTPv1 investments. With the embedded PTP version translation you can use your legacy PTPv1 equipment alongside your new PTPv2 equipment without the need to upgrade or change configuration of old PTPv1 equipment.
Quality of Service The CR-6228-MIL series offers advanced traffic shaping and quality of service techniques
VLAN The CR-6228-MIL offers port based VLAN (static) or dynamic VLAN according to IEEE802.1Q are supported.
