3.2Magnum H80P Installation

Installation of the Magnum H80P Personal Hub is a simple procedure. Since the unit receives power from its rear DTE port, it can be located virtually anywhere. The H80P is typically connected to another Ethernet device through an AUI drop cable. For AUI connection instructions, refer to Section 3.5.2.

It is also possible to connect an external power supply (refer to Spare Part Ordering Information, Section 1.3, for model names). This is useful in cases where a redundant supply is desired or the topology of the network has changed and the DTE port is no longer being used. When using an external power supply, the unit will still receive its power from the AUI connection as long as the port is connected and supplying suitable power. Should a power outage occur on the AUI segment, the external power supply will continue to supply power, maintaining connectivity amongst local users. Refer to Section 3.1 for external power supply connection instructions.

3.3Table-Top or Shelf Mounting

Personal Hubs are easily mounted on a table-top or shelf, and have four rubber feet to provide stability without scratching finished surfaces. A piece of Velcro may be used to add additional

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.
