The switches have an integrated [[Time-domain reflectometer|time-domain reflectometer (TDR)]] built into every copper port, providing the ability to accomplish diagnostic monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of the connected cables. This allows the equipment manager the ability to test and troubleshoot the cables for defects (crimped, cut, shorted or damaged cables) without going out to the switch room to test the cables from the switch to the end equipment. The tests can be accomplished on a single port or on multiple ports at the same time.<ref>

==History==
In 2008 this Switch became available with the software release 6.0, which could be loaded on the newer 5600 models or the original 5500 models. The developmental history of this system extends back to the BayStack 5000 family shortly after the technology was bought from [[Bay Networks]].<ref>

In June 2009 Software version 6.1 was released removing the licensing requirements for the [[IP Flow Information Export|IP Flow Information Export {IPFIX}]] feature, added force stack mode, and several security features. In July 2010 software version 6.2 became available adding [[Energy-Efficient Ethernet#Avaya Energy Saver|Avaya Energy Saver]], Bi-directional [[Port mirroring|monitor port]], and environmental commands.

Systems scaling is accomplished by stacking up to eight of the ERS 5632FD units to provide up to 64 ports of [[10-gigabit ethernetGigabit Ethernet]] through [[XFP transceiver]]s and 192 ports of 1000BASE-X [[Small form-factor pluggable transceiver]]s; or stacking four ERS 5698TFD units to provide up to 8 ports of 10-gigabit Ethernet through XFP transceivers modules and 24 ports of 1000BASE-X Small form-factor pluggable transceivers and 144 ports of copper 10/100/1000BASE-T; or stacking eight ERS 5650TD units to provide 16 ports of 10-gigabit ethernetGigabit Ethernet through XFP transceivers and 384 ports of copper 10/100/1000BASE-T connections. The ERS 5600 also has the ability to mix any combination of Switches of up to 8 units or up to 384 ports, whichever is reached first.<ref name="IT World Canada" />
