Features and Benefits, Magnum 3024 and 3012 Hubs 
„  24 Port and 12 Port "Building Block" Hub Models 
 
The 24 port units provide high density and low cost-per-port.  The 12 port 
units provide minimum add-on and entry-level system cost.  The two units 
may be combined and mixed in one stack. 
„  Optional SNMP Management 
 
Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs may optionally be configured with an 
SNMP agent. The SNMP agent is available as an embedded daughter 
board mounted inside of a 3024 or 3012, or as a separate unit which is the 
same physical size as a 3024 or 3012 unit and which supports a 3000 
Stack. One SNMP agent serves all the Magnum 3000 units in one stack. 
„  Stackable and Scaleable Configurations 
 
Up to twenty Magnum 3000 units may be stacked, thus supporting up to 
500 Ethernet segments operating as a single repeater.  Both Hubs and an 
SNMP Agent Box may easily be added to the stack for expansion of the 
system. This provides for low initial cost and for graceful growth of 
network systems. 
„  Bonus Ports for any Ethernet Media Type 
 
An optional rear-mounted bonus port may be configured with an RPM of 
any media type, providing flexible connectivity to backbones or other 
devices and nodes. 
„  Optional Bridge Port Modules 
 
The Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs can be optionally configured with a 
BPM as the bonus port.  BPMs contain a miniature, self-learning local 
bridge module capable of filtering and forwarding packets at full Ethernet 
wire speed.  A BPM may be used to bridge-isolate a local segment (such 
as all of the nodes connected to a stack) having significant local inter-node 
traffic, thus boosting overall network performance.  
„  Rack-mount or Table-top, Front-access Connectors and Status LEDs 
 
Match the installation requirements of any environment with stacking 
flexibility.  Magnum 3000 Hubs may be mounted in a standard RETMA 
rack or stacked on a shelf or table-top.  The 10BASE-T ports and the 
associated LEDs are adjacent to each other on the front of the units for 
convenient status monitoring. 
„  Small, compact units, 1 U   
At only 1.75 inches (4.45 cm) high, Magnum 3024 and 3012 Hubs save 
rack space and provide high port density in the wiring closet. 
„  Proven reliability   
Thousands of Magnum 3012 and 3024 Stackable Hubs have been installed 
in critical applications world-wide for multiple years, and have 
demonstrated exceptionally low failure rates.  Calculated MTBF is up to 
140,000 hours, depending on specific configuration and methodology.
