The serial (Console) port is provided on the right front of the Managed mP62 Switch to

use the Console Management Interface(CMI) to manage all functions of the switch.

In addition, the Link-Loss-Learn



 feature (patent pending) in mP62’s allows rapid

operating recovery from a link loss. The Link-Loss-Learn feature of the Magnum  mP62

Ethernet Switch addresses issues that can occur when mP62’s are used in redundant network

configurations, such as when Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is in use. With the Link-Loss-

Learn feature, Magnum  mP62s are better able to handle some fault recovery situations, and

they may improve network reliability and provide faster fault recovery accordingly. Thus the

immediate re-learning of the addresses of the attached devices results in fast re-routing of

traffic in mP62s.  See 

 for additional information

and application information.   Without a redundant network topology, the Link-Loss-Learn

feature is of no known benefit and should be turned off. 

Developed using unique thermal techniques (patent pending), mP62’s operate smoothly

to a max of 75

°C, which is 5°C more than the P62F product ratings of 70°C.  Equipped with

high thermal dissipation features (patent pending), power supply flexibility, management

(MNS-mP software) capability, and a convection-cooled sealed case, the mP62s are ideal for

power utility plants, substations, roadside traffic control stations, unheated or high

temperature industrial plant locations, commercial building above-the-ceiling locations, data

communications huts and pedestals, and military field operation sites. When mounted in the

field, an mP62 is typically fastened vertically to a wall or pedestal, with cables connected at

the bottom to provide protection of the connectors from dirt and dust.  The managed  mP62

Switch’s package is IEC 529 rated IP51 and, while not waterproof, it can be placed in

NEMA 4 boxes, IP65 enclosures and similar waterproof enclosures to provide an all-weather

outdoor solution.

The AC/DC Power Supply options for the Managed mP62 Hardened Switches are the

same as for the other P62F models. For detailed descriptions of Power Supply options, see

Section 3.3.

 2.2.3

Managed Network Software ( MNS-mP ) for Magnum  mP62
Magnum  mP62’s come with licensed MNS-mP software, which allows a user to

configure the Magnum  mP62 as a Managed Hardened Switch and activate the Software features.

For additional information about MNS-mP, see the Magnum  mP62’s Software User guide in pdf
