￿Group ID: There are four trunk groups to be selected. Choose the "Group ID" and

click

Select

button.

￿LACP: When enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first. When disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without any handshaking with its member ports. But member ports won’t know that they should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk group.

￿Work ports: This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active port up to four. With LACP trunk group, you create a trunk group by connecting two or more switches (e.g. you assign four ports to be the members of the trunk group whose work ports column field is set as two). The exceed ports are standby (the Aggregator Information tab will show standby status on the exceed ports) and can be aggregated if work ports fail. If it is a static trunk group, the number of work ports must equal the total number of group member ports.

￿Select the ports to join the trunk group. The system allows four ports maximum to

be aggregated in a trunk group. Click

Add

button to add the port which is

focused to the left field. To remove unwanted ports, select the port and click

￿When LACP enabled, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status for each port on State Activity page.

MIL-SM2401MAF specifications

The Transition Networks MIL-SM2401MAF is a robust, military-grade Ethernet media converter designed to facilitate seamless communication within demanding environments. This media converter is specifically engineered to support the transmission of Ethernet data over long distances while ensuring reliability and performance in challenging conditions.

One of the standout features of the MIL-SM2401MAF is its dual-port configuration, which includes both a 10/100/1000Base-T port and a 1000Base-X SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slot. This design allows users to connect various network devices, such as switches, routers, or servers, over copper or fiber connections. The flexibility of using an SFP slot ensures compatibility with different types of fiber media, catering to a broad range of networking needs.

The MIL-SM2401MAF supports extended ranges for data transmission, significantly surpassing the limitations of traditional Ethernet connections. With the ability to operate over multimode fiber up to 550 meters and single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers, this device is ideal for long-haul communication within military applications and other critical infrastructure setups.

Another notable characteristic of the MIL-SM2401MAF is its compliance with military standards, ensuring durability and resilience in harsh environments. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, and vibration, making it suitable for deployment in field operations or industrial settings. The device is also compliant with MIL-STD-810, which includes rigorous testing for environmental conditions.

In terms of power, the MIL-SM2401MAF offers flexible options, designed to accommodate various power sourcing needs. It can operate on a wide voltage range, enhancing its applicability in different situations while also including features for power redundancy.

Advanced features such as link fault pass-through, auto-negotiation, and automatic cable detection further enhance its reliability and ease of use. The simple plug-and-play operation means users can quickly integrate it into existing network infrastructure without needing extensive setup or configuration.

In summary, Transition Networks' MIL-SM2401MAF Ethernet media converter stands out as a versatile, high-performance solution suitable for military and industrial applications. Its combination of dual-port functionality, extended range capabilities, military-grade construction, and advanced operational features make it an invaluable tool for ensuring reliable communication in even the most challenging environments.
