Magnum 6K32T is easy to deploy, manage and maintain. Addresses of attached nodes
are automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network
changes and expansions to provide pug-n-play operation.

The New 6K32T Switches have 16port fixed 10/100Mb RJ-45 ports and 2
modular slots available to configure with numerous options. The options can be RJ-45 or
fiber media, 10 or 100 or 1000Mb copper or Fiber, or Small Form Factor options to
provide more fiber ports. The two modular slots can be configure with maximum of four
Gigabit modules as shown below.

The Magnum 6K32T was designed for heavy duty Carrier class and Industrial
applications that require high port density and secure devices which save in cost and rack
space to provide reliable solutions. This rack mountable managed switch comes with a
wide variety of DC/AC options. Software includes MNS-6K with support for modular
ports.
The modular option with two slots explores this managed switch’s extra
capability to meet any 10 or 100 or Gigabit requirement effectively satisfying any
demand for complex Ethernet. The Triple Play demand of bandwidth to meet “voice-
data-video” over Ethernet will be handled efficiently by this managed switch and will
play an effective role in providing modularity to the solution.
The growing demand of security and “Ease of use” are the other adding
features of this new managed switch. The switch allows the users to secure their network
through port security, Radius X, and Snmpv3 and provide an effective solution
of ease of use through “Secure Web based management and scripts feature to manage the
6K32T switch remotely”. The 6K32T loaded with robust MNS-6K firmware is specially
designed to meet the future demand of Ethernet requirement with cost-effective secure
solutions. The Magnum 6K32T is also available in a Reverse model option, where the
LEDs are on the front and the available ports along with the power supply area found on
the rear side. This configuration is mostly used for carrier-class market.
The modules which may be configured and used in the modular slots of the
Magnum 6K32T are described here.
