Magnum 6K32F Series Fiber Switches offer high performance along with four 

modular slot options to fulfill the choice of copper/Fiber, 10,100 or 1000Mb 

requirements.  The 6K32F Series also offers MNS-6K management software loaded with 

multiple useful features. The  Magnum IEC61850  6K32F Series Switches are used in a 

variety of Power sub-stations applications including, Industrials and temp. un-controlled, 

secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks, and LAN traffic centers 

that require Gigabit backbone services. The performance characteristic of the 6K32F 

Series Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet per 6K32F 

Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet connections may be via fiber or twisted 

pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and full-or half-duplex mode.   

 

The mixed-media capability in the modular slot is ideal for upgrading existing 

Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated.  The fiber-built-

in media capability provides future-proof fiber cabling for the LAN structure. The 

secured management features offer a multiple options to provide a secure Network 

solution. 

Equipped with lots of advanced management features, the Magnum 6K32F 

Series Managed switch is able to handle a VLAN application and provide security and 

performance in an Ethernet network center. A secure VLAN-enabled network is simply 

an administratively-configured broadcast domain.  The network administrator determines 

which ports and nodes are in which broadcast domains by setting membership profiles 

for each of them. The Magnum 6K32F’s VLAN capability can be configured in two 

types of virtual LANs; Port-based VLANs and Tag-based VLANs. 

 

In an office environment where departments such as Finance, Engineering, 

R&D, and Marketing need to each keep a secure LAN, the 6K32F’s VLAN feature will 

prevent traffic cross-over among traffic domains and thus keep sensitive data and 

information controlled.  The Managed Magnum 6K32F Series equipped with VLAN 

capability is ideal for any application where a secure VLAN to multiple departments is 

needed.
