Magnum 4K16 Switches Installation and User Guide (12/05)

2.2 Product Description - Magnum 4K16 Switches

Magnum 4K16 Switches boost the performance of medium sized Ethernet
LANs, with the flexibility of both twisted-pair and fiber switched port. Fiber ports may
number zero, one or two, may be configured from a variety of user selected popular fiber
connector as an additional port. The Magnum 4K16 provide the switching speed and the
reliability to support multiple workgroups, small offices, and departments each with its
own switched 100Mbps or 10Mbps domain, for increased network performance and with
“future-proof” fiber up-link ports built in.

The Magnum 16-port 4K16 Switches offer application flexibility with a series
of optional fiber connector types as two additional port as (16 RJ-45+ 2 Fiber ports). All
applicable fiber port connector types (100Mbps FX-ST, SC, MTRJ) along with multi­mode, single and Long-haul capability are configurable using a family of one- or two ­port modules. The optional fiber ports(two maxm.) can be configured and tested with the
Magnum 4K16 unit in the factory only. The rest sixteen RJ-45 ports are dual speed
10/100 Mb auto-negotiating.

Designed for use in departments, small offices with multiple workgroups, in
remote offices and in network traffic centers or multi-system power users, the Magnum
4K16 Series Switches are easy to install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are
automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network
changes and expansions. Front-mounted LEDs provide status information on each port.
The Magnum 4K-Series Switches provide high performance plug-and-play operation in
convenient rack-mount packages.

The Magnum 4K16 switches are non-blocking on all ports and include 512K
packet buffers and 4K-node address table for advanced performance as well as to support
large networks. The Magnum 4K-Series Switches, with store-and-forward switching,
filter all faulty packets to minimize traffic congestion.

2.2.1 Magnum 4K16F Switch chassis
Magnum 4K16 Series Switches come in chassis size of an 16-port rack-

mountable. The optional fiber port(zero. One or two) are user selected, and 100Mbps
fiber port can be configured from the popular fiber port connectors offered. The fiber­port modules are offered with factory installed only.
