Features and Benefits
100Mb switching services for large, high performance Ethernet LANs
Magnum Quad-Series Switches provide Fast Ethernet switching on all
ports. They perform high speed filter/forward operations on the traffic,
giving each port’s segment a full 100Mb (or 10 Mb) of bandwidth.
Configurable with fiber ports, all connector types and speeds
Quad-port modules are available with 100Mb mm ST, SC, VF-45, MTRJ
single-mode SC, and 10 Mb ST-type connectors. The configuration of the
fiber ports, in the factory or in the field, allows the Quad-Series Switches
to adapt to mixed and changing fiber types in any application.
Configurable with RJ-45 (copper) ports, 10/100 auto-negotiation
RJ-45 Quad-port modules provide twisted pair segment connections, with
N-way auto-negotiation or with manual speed and mode settings per port
Mixed-media
configurations for maximum flexibility
Combinations of port module types can be configured in the same unit,
adapting the Quad-Series Switches to varying quantities and types of fiber
vs. copper media. Port module changes can even be done in the field.
Full-duplex or Half-duplex operation, auto-sensing
All fiber and RJ-45 (copper) ports are capable of half- or full-duplex,
individually selected. All RJ-45 ports support 10/100 auto-negotiation, or
can be user-selected for the desired operating mode and speed.
16-port, 12-port, 8-port and 4-port models
With two chassis sizes (16-port and 8-port) configurable with 4-port
QPMs, capacity options complement the mixed-media configurability.
Plug-and-Play installation for high performance switching
Magnum Quad-Series Switches are self-learning for node addresses. They
can be placed into operation without complex set-up procedures, even in
large networks. They operate transparent to system software.
Front-mounted LEDs, world-wide AC power supply
Front panel LED’s on each quad-port module display the status of each
port for easy monitoring. An internal auto-ranging AC power supply
allows any Magnum Quad-Series Switches to be used throughout the
world. (A 48VDC power supply is optional, see Appendix B).\
