Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch | Installation and User Guide 03/06) |
2.3Features and Benefits
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs
Magnum 6K8-Series 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 16 100Mb or 8+2 Gigabit ports for backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization
The Magnum 6K8-Series 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.
Large selection of built-in fiber options at 10/100/1000Mb
Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports, and support mixes of multi-mode and single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and half-duplex; classic Small Form Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port types.
S-Ring and Link Loss Learn for reliable high availability using ring topology
S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn provide reliable fast recovery of a fault in ring topology.
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 controllable and will signal user- defined software event traps such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.
Vertical mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temp. Vertical mounting brackets are included. DIN-Rail mounting hardware is optional. Ethernet signal and power cables attach in the bottom. Two sets of status LEDs are on the switch, one set viewable at the port connector and one set viewable from the front.
Standard AC power input, -48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC input is optional Standard AC power input is IEC plug, 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 Industrial Ethernet and un-controlled temp. operation Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6K8-Series design provides for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature dual-rating is 60`C per UL methods, and 95°C per type test methods.
MNS-6K licensed Network Management Software included, S-Ring optional
Release 3.1.2 (fall ’05) includes SNMP Switch Management with secure access control, RMON, CLI, Port Security; Port Mirroring; Port Settings Control; Telnet, TFTP, FTP support, Spanning Tree Protocol, Link-Loss-Learn, S-Ring (with license key) multi-level QoS, Port- and tag-based VLANs, GVRP, IGMP Snooping, SNMPc GUI support; Event Log; SNTP client for time-of-day; BootP and DHCP client for IP configuring, and password security. Secured Web Management, RADIUS X and TACACS+. MNS-6K software is factory installed, supported and updated via Internet and GCI FTP Server.
