Up-Link on port # 1 for a high speed “copper” connection
An up-link switch is built in for port # 1. The F/H 10/100 switched RJ-45 port #
1 can support a local server, a power user, another hub or switch cascaded, or a
switched “stack” connection to another P80F or P80C for expansion.
Installation is “Plug and Play”, operation is transparent to software
The Magnum P80F & P80C operates as a hardware switch, only forwarding those
packets from each domain that are needed on the other domains. Internal address
tables are self-learning, enabling users to change port connections or 10/100
domains without affecting operations.
Small enclosure enables use in offices, labs and classrooms
The compact packaging of Magnum P80F & P80C’s allows them to be installed
in offices and labs, or virtually any workspace location within reach of a standard
AC wall outlet. They come in a durable metal enclosure for table-top or wall-
mount. There is a choice of external power supplies, for either 115vac or 230vac.
2.7 Applications
The P80F & P80C are designed to bring future-proof fiber connectivity and widely-
used copper connectivity to small user groups in offices, classrooms and labs.
Example 1. Magnum P80F In this example, a Magnum P80F Personal Switch serves a
small class or lab with multi-servers and mixed-speed requirements like surfing the Internet or
downloading data from servers or other sources. Some users operate at 100Mbps, and some
users and utility devices (such as print servers) run at 10 Mbps. High performance users need a
high bandwidth backbone for access to a central LAN and central file servers. A Magnum P80F
Personal Switch serves this requirement economically. The eight full-and half duplex switched
ports capability makes the required setup simple. Any attached node can change speed at any
time without affecting network operation or impacting other users.
