MAGBES features versions pdf
5 Port Manageable GigaBit Ethernet Switch

The MAGBES-Family consists of 6 different manageable Gigabit Ethernet Switch models. The boards are PC/104 sized and offered as stand-alone, PC/104 stacked and special PIP built-in mechanical versions. They are available with different port configurations, either with 5 copper ports, or with 3 copper and 2 SFP optical transceiver ports.

Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types. It allows the users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required fiber optical interface.

As managed switch the product gives access to various switch settings to configure features like: Quality of Service, VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree, etc.. To adjust these switch settings, MPL provides a easy to use web interface. (This product includes software developed by egnite Software GmbH and its contributors)
