Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Installation and User Guide
Example 2. A managed network is needed to provide a redundant ring topology for
maximum redundancy. In a network where any faulty cable, cable disconnection or
power failure can bring the whole thing down, a ring switch can be reconfigured and up
and running in milliseconds. The ring topology of the network consists of high speed
LAN segments supported by 100Mbps full-duplex future-proof fiber media to provide a
secure long distance LAN connection. The entire network is sharing a higher bandwidth
Gigabit-enabled data-mining server for the vital database located in a separate secured
building. The copper ports are required for multiple subnets inside the power plant to
check the status of other Ethernet units. The entire spread network will be manageable to
provide easy, detectable, uninterrupted support through a viewable SNMP monitor.
The Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch equipped with a mix of copper and
fiber ports provides an economical and seamless solution to many requirements. The
user-configurable Magnum 6KQ provides an extra boost to the network requirements by
providing copper/fiber media along with the higher bandwidth support of 10/100 and
1000Mb. The user can utilize the SNMP feature equipped with VLAN, RMON, STP and
other standard managed LAN features to provide a secure and stable network.
The 6KQ Managed Fiber with S-ring and Link-Loss-Learn features easily
fulfill the redundant requirement with a secure and fast reconfiguration time for cable
breakup when set up in a ring topology. The Gigabit port option boosts the bandwidth for
high speed to support the peak traffic and minimize congestion.
