3.5Ethernet Media Connections

Magnum H80Bs and H80P are equipped with eight sheilded twisted pair ports and a BNC or DTE (male AUI) port. The following sections give instructions for installing each of these media types.

3.5.1Twisted Pair Connections

1.Using standard 10BASE-T media, insert the male plug on one end of the network cable into one of the RJ-45 female ports on the Personal Hub. Even though the hub's plugs are of the shielded type, they will accept and operate properly

with both shielded and unshielded type RJ-45 twisted pair wiring.

2.Connect the other end of each network segment to the applicable workstation or user device. The "LINK" LED will be lit for each port when the connection is made on both ends of the segment, and when the DC power is present at each end as well, i.e., when the segment circuit is established and is ready to use.

3.For the switched port up-link option, see Section 3.6.

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.
