Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch

Installation and User Guide 05/07)

2.3Features and Benefits

„Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs

Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC & 6K32TRC Switches provide non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at once) performance with standard Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) included. They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 24 10/100Mb ports or one or two Gigabit ports for backbone connections where managed network services are desired.

„Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization

The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC 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, the QoS software may be configured by the user.

„Features Fiber-Built-In

Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switches are designed with modular slots to naturally include fiber ports and support mixes of the following; multi-mode and single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and half-duplex; and classic Small Form Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port types.

„Modular design for port flexibility, in a 1U space-saving rack-mount package

The 1U Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC chassis has 1 slot for port configurations. A family of 2, 4, 6 or 8 port modules allows the user to select the desired mix of port types and speeds. There are over 20 different modules in the family to choose from. The port modules are normally factory installed and tested, but may be changed in the field.

„Rack-mounting may be standard or “reverse”, 19 inch or ETSI or 23” Telco

The standard rack mounting provides Ethernet ports and status LEDs in front, service connections (power input and management console) in the rear. “Reverse” rack mounting provides status LEDs in front and all cabling connections in the rear. Standard 19’ rack mount brackets are included, with ETSI and 23” Telco optional.

„Standard AC power input, -48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC input is optional Standard AC power input has an IEC plug and is auto-ranging for worldwide use. For special applications, models with –48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC are available. Dual Source DC input can also be selected and configured on the DC power input models.

„Heavy-duty design for Telco (NEBS tested) and other industrial environments Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC design provides for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature can be up to 55°C.
