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).\
