2.4 Applications
Magnum 4K220 Switches offer high performance flexibility, and are easily
used in a variety of applications including client/server computing, performance
upgrades of departmental networks, and collapsed backbone applications. The Dual-
Speed characteristic of the 4K220 Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of
subnets (one subnet per 4K-Series Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet
connections may be 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed and full-or half-duplex mode. The 40-
ports non-blocking switching capability of Magnum 4K220’s support larger networks
with multiple workgroups.
Example1:
In a setup for a typical small office, a central Switch is needed to provide
for a 40-segment 100Mb Fast Ethernet LAN with switched copper support for 3 high
speed local servers for different departments, and with 15 segmented users and three
printers. In addition, the router and extra ports are for future expansion.
The Magnum 4K220 Switch fits nicely in this environment, and offers future
backbone expansion. The 40 switched copper ports are provided by a Magnum 4K220.
Should the number of servers expand, more than one server can be accessed at full
speed from any switched 4K220 port by any of the users simultaneously.
