Features and Benefits, Magnum 3024 and 3012 Hubs
24 Port and 12 Port "Building Block" Hub Models
The 24 port units provide high density and low cost-per-port. The 12 port
units provide minimum add-on and entry-level system cost. The two units
may be combined and mixed in one stack.
Optional SNMP Management
Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs may optionally be configured with an
SNMP agent. The SNMP agent is available as an embedded daughter
board mounted inside of a 3024 or 3012, or as a separate unit which is the
same physical size as a 3024 or 3012 unit and which supports a 3000
Stack. One SNMP agent serves all the Magnum 3000 units in one stack.
Stackable and Scaleable Configurations
Up to twenty Magnum 3000 units may be stacked, thus supporting up to
500 Ethernet segments operating as a single repeater. Both Hubs and an
SNMP Agent Box may easily be added to the stack for expansion of the
system. This provides for low initial cost and for graceful growth of
network systems.
Bonus Ports for any Ethernet Media Type
An optional rear-mounted bonus port may be configured with an RPM of
any media type, providing flexible connectivity to backbones or other
devices and nodes.
Optional Bridge Port Modules
The Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs can be optionally configured with a
BPM as the bonus port. BPMs contain a miniature, self-learning local
bridge module capable of filtering and forwarding packets at full Ethernet
wire speed. A BPM may be used to bridge-isolate a local segment (such
as all of the nodes connected to a stack) having significant local inter-node
traffic, thus boosting overall network performance.
Rack-mount or Table-top, Front-access Connectors and Status LEDs
Match the installation requirements of any environment with stacking
flexibility. Magnum 3000 Hubs may be mounted in a standard RETMA
rack or stacked on a shelf or table-top. The 10BASE-T ports and the
associated LEDs are adjacent to each other on the front of the units for
convenient status monitoring.
Small, compact units, 1 U
At only 1.75 inches (4.45 cm) high, Magnum 3024 and 3012 Hubs save
rack space and provide high port density in the wiring closet.
Proven reliability
Thousands of Magnum 3012 and 3024 Stackable Hubs have been installed
in critical applications world-wide for multiple years, and have
demonstrated exceptionally low failure rates. Calculated MTBF is up to
140,000 hours, depending on specific configuration and methodology.
