Magnum 6KQE Managed Edge Switch Installation and User Guide | 02/09 |
2.4Features and Benefits
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs
Magnum 6KQE Switches provide unicast non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at once) performance with standard Managed Network Software. They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with up to 8 100Mb +2 Gigabit ports for backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization
The Magnum 6KQE switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port- and application-specific priorities of data, the QoS software may be configured.
Fiber Ports Built-In
Magnum 6KQE Managed Edge Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports, and support mixes of multi-mode, single-mode, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and half-duplex; classic Small Form Factor (SFF) and Small Form Pluggable (SFP) fiber connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port types.
Relay Contacts for monitoring internal power and user-defined software events Two Alarm Relay contacts monitor basic operations. One is for hardware, and will signal loss of power internally. The other is software controlled and will signal user- defined software events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.
Vertical mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temperature Mounting brackets for vertical mounting are included. DIN-Rail mounting hardware is optional. Ethernet signal and power cables attach at the bottom. Two sets of status LEDs are included, one set viewable at the port connector and one set viewable from the front.
All types of power input, 12, 24, 48, 125, 250VDC and AC
The 6KQE can be configured with the user’s choice of DC power supplies: 12V and 24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and for PoE-powered applications such as IP video surveillance, and 125V or 250V for substations. An internal AC power supply may also be chosen, universal AC for use worldwide.
Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6KQE design provides for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature dual-rating is 60`C per UL methods, and 95°C per IEC type test methods.
MNS-6K licensed Management Software
Managed Networks Software (MNS) basic version, combined with a
Magnum 6K-Series Switch, provides power and efficiency in a managed Ethernet platform. A full range of industry-standard software functions in the MNS-6K software product enables the versatile Magnum 6K Switches to perform efficiently in a wide range of managed LAN applications, including redundant topologies.
MNS-6K-SECURE (optional, for extra security)
Magnum MNS-6K-SECURE software is designed for those customers demanding extra security in their networks. MNS-6K-SECURE is an optional item--licensed per switch. All of the features in regular MNS-6K are included, plus extra security.
