The 6KQ managed switches also provide PoE options via power –
inside PoE modules on one of A, B or C slots and allows the users to select a wide option
of combo PoE modules to support 802.3af pd devices. See details for PoE modules in sec
5.2.10. The Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is fully compatible with Powered Devices
(PD)(e.g wireless access points, IP phones) that comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE
standard. The PoE switch ports have an auto-sensing algorithm, so that they provide
power only to 802.3af, PoE end devices. PoE
is managed by a multi-stage handshake
to protect equipment from damage and to manage power budgets
.The PoE ports
will discontinue supplying power when the PoE powered devices are disconnected. This
feature supports the 802.3af PoE PSE standard for over-current protection, under-current
detection, and fault protection.
High performance features include non-blocking unicast traffic speed on all ports and
802.1p QoS Traffic Prioritization. Magnum 6KQ switches are “plug-and-play” and are
designed for use in connecting edge devices such as PLCs, IEDs and PoE video cameras
with upstream switches and routers where a mix of bursty data traffic and priority
streaming traffic
for video
surveillance and
cell-tower
applications are
present. Magnum 6KQ Field Switches are provided with LAN management software
including SNMP, Tag- and Port-based VLANs, IGMP-L2 and IGMP Snooping, and Port
Security with control via GUI and command line interface (CLI). For high availability
LANs using ring topologies, Spanning Tree Protocol, RSTP, Link-Loss-Learn and S-
Ring are available. Dual-Homing is a software configuration feature. See the Managed
Networks Software (MNS-6K) and S-Ring datasheets for additional details on the
comprehensive set of software programs and options.
Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switches have heavy-duty aluminum
cases and are readily available with standard Industrial grade 24VDC power. Alternative
internal DC power options are available. DC power input types may be 24V, 48V, 125V,
and dual source DC input is optional on all 6KQ’s. (AC power is available via an
external power supply unit, see Section 3.4 for details).
