Magnum DS50 / DS60s Dual Speed Hubs Installation and User Guide (06/02)
2.4 Features and Benefits
Supports 10 or 100Mbps network connections on each of six RJ-45 ports
A Magnum DS50 / DS60 Dual-Speed hub combines two logical hubs -- one at
10Mbps and one at 100Mbps -- in one physical box supporting two traffic domains.
Each port can operate at either 10 or 100Mbps, independently of the other ports.
“ Future Proof” Fiber Switched port (for DS60F model only)
The Magnum DS60F model, equipped with one Switched fiber port at 100Mb,
enables it to provide secure longer cable distances, and eliminates the use of a media
converter. The fiber port is available in SC multi-mode, single mode and Long reach.
“Plug and Play” Installation and Operation
The DS50 / DS60 Dual-speed Hub Plus learns the network addresses of
both network segments from the packets in the traffic, so there is no software set-up
required. As nodes are added or changed, the unit learns the new network addresses
and adapts its filtering and forwarding of packets automatically.
Segments 100Mb networks for high performance and simplified expansion
The Magnum DS60’s (only) provides a separate collision domain which
maximizes available bandwidth for both of the attached segments, enhancing network
performance. The segmentation of the switched port 6 also resets cable distance
limitations and repeater hop counts to enable easy expansion of 10/100Mb nets.
User configurable Port 6 for Auto-negotiation or Full-Fixed (DS60C only)
The Magnum DS60C sixth switched port has a manual switch underneath
the port it controls. The user can manually select port #6 to Auto-negotiation as per
the attached unit capability, or for Full-Fixed 100Mb FDX with no auto-negotiation..
Standard Repeater ports for network diagnostic use
Ports 1-5 are Ethernet Repeater ports, and operate by broadcasting packets
received to all the other hub ports operating at the same speed. Because they are
repeater ports, ports 1-5 may be used for network diagnostic tools such as a sniffer.
Note that the ports operating at 10Mb and at 100Mb are in separate traffic domains.
Compact Enclosure Allows for Versatile Installation with AC &DC
The compact physical size of the Magnum DS50 / DS60 package allows it
to be installed in office or lab locations. The rugged metal enclosure provides
durability, and the internal universal power supply enables one model to be usable
worldwide. The optional DC power supply with -48VDC or 24VDC qualifies the
DS50 / DS60s for use in Industrial and telecom applications.
