2.2 Product Description
The Magnum P62-Series Ethernet “Outdoor” Switches are designed to operate in
extended temperature applications and are suitable for use in environments with inhospitable high
/ low temperatures. Magnum P62-Series Hardened switches provide two built-in 100Mb full-
duplex switched fiber ports so that several units can be daisy-chained. These fiber ports are
coupled with the convenience of six switched 10/100Mb copper (RJ45) ports for easy
connectivity to local nodes and devices. All these features come in one compact rugged unit.
The Magnum P62-Series hardened Switches are available in a wide variety of options,
including our Managed (mP62..) version. The Managed mP62 can be easily deployed in an
existing and mixed vendor Ethernet network because of its features and capability. The Managed
(mP62) equipped with MNS-mP software supports managed edge-switch functions including
Menu-driven User Interface for ease of use, SNMP, QoS, Telnet, Password Security, Port Settings
Control, Spanning Tree Protocol, Port-based VLAN, BootP / DHCP etc..
The two built-in fiber ports are designed with full-duplex 100Mbps switched capability.
The six copper (RJ-45) ports come with full / half-duplex-10/100-auto-negotiating ability. The
Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switches provide the switching speed and the reliability to
smoothly support multiple workgroups at 100Mbps or 10Mbps speed. The optional fiber ports are
normally configured and tested with Magnum P62 units in the factory and come available in
multi-mode and single-mode SC-type fiber connectors. For special fiber port types, request quote.
Designed specifically to operate in
uncontrolled temperature applications, the hardened
Magnum P62’s high strength steel case functions as a heat sink to draw away the heat from the
internal electronics and dissipate it. The efficient design of P62-Series high strength steel cases
can easily handle the extreme heat of 75°C (170°F) mP62 or 70°C (160°F) P62F and extreme
cold of -40°C (-40°F). when properly installed (see Sec. 3.0).
Applications for Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switches include roadside traffic data
collection and control stations, unheated and or high temperatures locations, above-ceiling
(plenum) spaces (see sect.3.3.1 for details) and ceiling mounts in commercial buildings, industrial
boiler rooms, mines and quarries, irrigation and pipeline facilities, on-board ships, cell towers,
data communication huts and pedestals, aeronautical installations and military sites.
A Magnum P62-Series hardened Switch is easy to install and use. Addresses of attached
nodes are automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network
changes and expansions. Top-mounted LEDs provide extra advantage for the user to observe the
status information of each port. The Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switches generate high
