Gigabit port in the same unit. This flexibility is achieved via a family of 6K25e port
modules for copper and fiber-built-in (emphasizing Small Form Factor fiber for high
fiber port density), 6-port modules for fiber and RJ-45 combinations, and 1Gb port
module selections using GBICs. These modules can be factory configured in a base
chassis unit (or may be changed in the field by trained technicians) to adapt the unit to
the user’s application and Ethernet cabling requirements. Even evolving mixed-media
requirements for 10Mb and 100Mb fiber and copper as well as Gigabit ports can be
handled by the Magnum 6K25e product.
The 6K25e managed switches also provides PoE option via Power-pass-through and
power –inside PoE modules and allows the users to select a wide option of combo PoE
modules to support 802.3af pd devices. See details in sec 5.2.10 and 5.2.11. The Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE), and are fully compatible with Powered Devices (PD)(e.g
wireless access points, IP phones) that comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. The
PoE switch ports have an auto-sensing algorithm, so that they provide power only to
802.3af, PoE end devices. PoE is managed by a multi-stage handshake to protect
equipment from damage and to manage power budgets .The PoE ports will
discontinue supplying power when the PoE powered devices are disconnected, and
support the 802.3af PoE PSE standard for over-current protection, under-current
detection, and fault protection.
The packaging and power-input options target the Magnum 6K25e at heavy-
duty applications. The chassis mounting rack style may be “regular” (with the ports and
LEDs in the front and the power input and management console connector in the rear) or
“Reverse” (with the ports and LEDs and the power-input and the management console
connector all in the rear and a duplicate set of LEDs in the front). Rack widths
accommodated include standard 19” RETMA, ETSI, and 23” Telco. Input power may be
AC, or –48VDC for Telco environments, or 24VDC for Industrial applications.
Designed for use in network traffic centers, the Magnum 6K25e Managed
Fiber Switches are easy to install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are automatically
learned, maintained and aged out, adapting the switching services to network changes.
LEDs provide status information on each port. The Magnum 6K25e provides high
performance plug-and-play hardware operation, 802.1p packet prioritization in hardware,
and industry-standard managed networks software functionality, all in convenient 1U
rack-mount packages.
