3.0Installation

This section describes the installation of Magnum H80B and H80P Personal Hubs, including mounting options and cable connections.

3.1Magnum H80B Installation

The installation of a Magnum H80B Personal Hub is a very simple procedure. Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended hub location and plug in the external power supply unit (provided as part of the unit). The small DC power cord from the power supply plugs into the matching rear power jack of the Personal Hub, and when power is applied the green "PWR" LED will be illuminated.

The external power supply unit supplied is one of two types; one version for AC input power of 115 vac 60 Hz, and one version for 230 vac 50 Hz. Examine the power supply to make sure the version you have is the right type for your AC power system. The 115 vac version has a small transformer integral with a convenience power outlet plug, and a lightweight DC power cord to the applicable power jack on the hub. The 230 vac version has a small transformer integral with an IEC-type power plug for a user- supplied AC power cord with a convenience power outlet plug. It also includes a lightweight DC power cord to the applicable power jack on the Personal Hub unit.

H80B, H80P specifications

GarrettCom's H80P and H80B series switches are robust networking solutions designed for demanding environments, such as industrial automation and telecommunications. Engineered to provide reliability, flexibility, and performance, these switches are ideal for applications that require durable and high-speed network connectivity.

One of the key features of the H80P and H80B models is their Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, enabling seamless integration into existing networks. Both models support advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, and PIM, which enhance network efficiency and reliability. The switches also offer support for VLAN tagging, allowing for efficient traffic management and network segmentation, which enhances security and performance.

Another standout characteristic is their port configuration. The H80P model typically offers more ports than the H80B, accommodating a larger number of devices. Both models feature a mix of copper and fiber optic ports, providing versatility in connections and enabling long-distance data transmission without degradation of signal quality.

In terms of performance, the H80P and H80B support Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring high bandwidth for data-rich applications. This feature is critical in industrial settings where real-time data transfer and low latency are essential. Furthermore, these switches incorporate Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical traffic and maintain optimal performance levels during peak usage times.

The construction of the H80P and H80B models is another important aspect that sets them apart. They are designed to withstand harsh environments, with rugged enclosures that provide protection against dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. This durability makes them suitable for deployment in outdoor installations and factory floors, where operating conditions can be challenging.

Security is a significant aspect of network management, and GarrettCom addresses this need by integrating various security features into the H80P and H80B switches. They support authentication protocols such as RADIUS and TACACS+, ensuring that only authorized users can access the network. Additionally, features like port security and DHCP snooping further enhance protection against potential threats.

In conclusion, GarrettCom's H80P and H80B switches combine advanced features, robust technology, and specialized characteristics to offer reliable network solutions. Their versatility, performance, and durability make them an excellent choice for organizations seeking to improve their industrial networking infrastructure while ensuring security and efficiency.
