2.3 Features and Benefits
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs
Magnum 6KQ Switches provide unicast non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at
once) performance with standard Managed Network Software (MNS-6K) included.
They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with up to 12 100Mb +2 Gigabit ports
for backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization
The Magnum 6KQ 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.
Features Fiber-Built-In
Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports,
and support mixes of multi-mode, single-mode; 10Mb, 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/RS-Ring and Link Loss Learn for reliable high availability using ring
topology S-Ring/RS-Ring combined with the Link-Loss-Learn feature provides
reliable fast recovery of a fault in a 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 events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.
Vertical mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temp.
Mounting brackets for vertical mounting are included. DIN-Rail mounting hardware
is optional. Ethernet signal and power cables attach at the bottom. Two sets of status
LEDs are included, 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 comes with an IEC plug and is 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 extended temperature operation
Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6KQ 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 Management Software included, S-Ring/RS-Ring optional
MNS-6K includes SNMP Switch Management with secure access control, RMON,
CLI, Port Security; Port Mirroring; secured Radius and TACACs+, 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 and Secured Web interface.
