Example 1: Magnum 6KQE Switch for an Industrial Application
Equipped with lots of useful features including hardened enclosures, a wide
spread of DC power supply options, and extended temperature ratings qualifies the
Magnum 6KQE Managed switch for any Industrial factory-floor, traffic control,
transportation system, or power utility application. The several MNS-6K software
operated features qualifies this managed switch to operate and perform securely and
reliably in all critical applications. The addition of S-Ring and the Link-Loss-Learn
software features allow this Managed switch to provide a very secure highly available
redundant network capability in any ring topology network.
The Managed 6KQE’s modularity along with the MNS-6K management
software features remarkably handle industrial environments (i.e. where the factory
floors are networked with Ethernet based mixed-media LANs equipped with PLCs,
computers for taking readings and data from Machines, Client/ Server databases, etc. and
sending these important data to the central office data warehouses) very securely and
reliably. The DIN-Rail Mounting options on the Magnum 6KQE allow the factory floor’s
industrial user to mount the 6KQE securely anywhere on their Network setup.
The option of setting the ports at 10 or 100Mb on copper and 100Mb on fiber
media provide widespread options to the users to mix and match their legacy and
advance network needs. The modularity of the 6KQE Managed Edge Switches make
them an attractive choice for use in applications with LAN connections to an
organization’s multiple site offices and factory- floors. The different locations can be
easily connected together with the Fiber ports supported by the Magnum 6KQE Switch.
A main NT-server in a secure area protected from earthquake or fire hazards can be
connected to the full duplex Gigabit Fiber port.
