Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs Installation and User Guide (07/06)

2.6Features and Benefits, Magnum 3024 and 3012 Hubs

„24 Port and 12 Port "Building Block" Hub Models

The 24 port units provide high density and low cost-per-port. The 12 port units provide minimum add-on and entry-level system cost. The two units may be combined and mixed in one stack.

„Optional SNMP Management

Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs may optionally be configured with an SNMP agent. The SNMP agent is available as an embedded daughter board mounted inside of a 3024 or 3012, or as a separate unit which is the same physical size as a 3024 or 3012 unit and which supports a 3000 Stack. One SNMP agent serves all the Magnum 3000 units in one stack.

„Stackable and Scaleable Configurations

Up to twenty Magnum 3000 units may be stacked, thus supporting up to 500 Ethernet segments operating as a single repeater. Both Hubs and an SNMP Agent Box may easily be added to the stack for expansion of the system. This provides for low initial cost and for graceful growth of network systems.

„Bonus Ports for any Ethernet Media Type

An optional rear-mounted bonus port may be configured with an RPM of any media type, providing flexible connectivity to backbones or other devices and nodes.

„Optional Bridge Port Modules

The Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs can be optionally configured with a BPM as the bonus port. BPMs contain a miniature, self-learning local bridge module capable of filtering and forwarding packets at full Ethernet wire speed. A BPM may be used to bridge-isolate a local segment (such as all of the nodes connected to a stack) having significant local inter-node traffic, thus boosting overall network performance.

„Rack-mount or Table-top, Front-access Connectors and Status LEDs Match the installation requirements of any environment with stacking flexibility. Magnum 3000 Hubs may be mounted in a standard RETMA rack or stacked on a shelf or table-top. The 10BASE-T ports and the associated LEDs are adjacent to each other on the front of the units for convenient status monitoring.

„Small, compact units, 1 U

At only 1.75 inches (4.45 cm) high, Magnum 3024 and 3012 Hubs save rack space and provide high port density in the wiring closet.

„Proven reliability

Thousands of Magnum 3012 and 3024 Stackable Hubs have been installed in critical applications world-wide for multiple years, and have demonstrated exceptionally low failure rates. Calculated MTBF is up to 140,000 hours, depending on specific configuration and methodology.
