2.3 Features 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 95C 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.
