2.4 Applications
Magnum 6K16-Series Fiber Switches offer high performance, modularity and
availability. They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as
single or dual Gigabit(1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard LAN management
software. Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are easily used in a variety of applications
including client/server computing, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental
networks, and stream traffic for VOIP and audio/video applications, or a very diversified
combination of mixed media in Industrial floor applications.. The performance
characteristic of the 6K16-Series Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of
subnets (one subnet per 6K16-Series Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet
connections may be via fiber or twisted pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and
full-or half-duplex.
The mixed-media modular capability is ideal for Industrial applications where
existing Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated. The
fiber-built-in media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the
LAN structure.
Example 1 : Magnum 6K16-Series Switch for a Industrial application
Equipped with lots of useful features, hardened enclosure, wide spread of
AC/DC power supply option, extended temperature rating qualifies the Magnum 6K16-
Series Managed switch, for any Industrial factory-floors, traffic control, transportations
systems and power utilities applications. The bundles of MNS-6K software operated
features diversified this managed switch to operate and perform securely and reliably in
all critical applications. The addition of
S-Ring
and
Link-Loss-Learn
software feature
allow this Managed switch to provide a very secure highly available redundant network
capability in any ring topology network.
In an Industrial environment where the factory floors are networked with
Ethernet based mixed-media LANs, equipped with PLCs, computers for taking reading
and data from M/C, Client/ Server databases and fetching these important datas to the
central office data warehouses. The Managed 6K16-Series’s modularity along with
MNS-6K management software features, remarkably handle these kind of network very
securely and reliably through out the Factory-floors. The DIN-Rail Mounting options on
the Magnum 6K16, allow the Factory floor Industrial’s user to mount securely anywhere
on their Network setup.
