method, or -50˚C to 95˚C by the IEC 60068 Type Test method. With options such as all  
popular DC power input types, worldwide AC power, and DIN-Rail mounting, the  
hardened Magnum 6K16V is a “go-anywhere do-anything” Industrial Ethernet Switch.  
The large family of port modules offer the choice of all fiber media (all  
connector types, multi- and single-mode) and 10/100 Mb auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports.  
Standard GBIC ports can be configured for a variety of Gigabit cabling types and  
distances.  
High performance features  
include non-blocking speed on all ports  
and 802.1p QoS Traffic Prioritization.  
Magnum 6K16Vs are “plug-and-play”  
ready for use as backbone switches  
where a mix of bursty data traffic and  
priority streaming traffic for VoIP and audio/video applications is present.  
Magnum 6K16V Fiber Switches are provided with LAN management software  
including SNMP, Tag- and Port-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and Port Security,  
control via command line interface. For high availability LANs using ring topologies,  
Spanning Tree Protocol, Link-Loss-Learn and S-Ring are available. See the Managed  
Networks Software (MNS-6K) and S-Ring datasheets for additional details on the  
comprehensive set of software programs and options.  
Designed for use in transportation and traffic control systems, power utilities,  
industrial factory-floor jobs, and video surveillance systems with segments requiring  
Gigabit backbone interconnections, the Magnum 6K16V is easy to install and operate.

independently selects a mode and speed to match the device at the other end of the  
twisted pair cable. (See Section 4.3 for auto-negotiation details)  
On the model 6K8-RJ45 module, there are four LEDs for each port, two in the  
connector and two separate. The LK (Link) LED indicates “ready for operation” on that  
port when lit. The blinking ACT (Activity) LED indicates receiving Activity on that port  
when lit. The 10/100 LED indicates operation at 100Mb speed when ON and at 10 Mb  
speed when OFF (when auto-negotiation is not disabled). The FDX/HDX LED is ON to  
indicate full-duplex operation and OFF to indicate half-duplex mode. A twisted pair  
cable must be connected into an RJ-45 port and the Link (LK) indicator for that port must  
be ON (indicating there is a powered-up device at the other end of the cable) in order for  
a LK LED to provide valid indications of operating conditions on that port.  
Using the 6K16V’s MNS software, the user may disable auto-negotiation and  
fix the desired operation of each RJ-45 port. MNS Software set-up may select 10Mb or  
100Mb speed and full- or half-duplex mode per-port as per user requirement. (See

The 4-port @10Mb ST fiber modules behave the same as the 4@100Mb ST  
fiber modules except for the 10Mb speed. For ports numbering, ports 1, 2, 5, 6 are  
present, ports 3, 4. 7, 8 are not present. There is also a similar 100Mb fiber SC module.  
The default setup on the 10Mb fiber module is half-duplex, which allows the  
Magnum 6K16V Switch to connect to any 10Mb hub or media converter or almost any  
other device with a 10Mb fiber Ethernet port. The default setting of the 100Mb module is  
full duplex. User mode-control per port through the MNS “port settings” software is the  
same as the other 6K16V modules.  
The fiber ports support fiber cabling distances according to the 10BASE-FL  
and 100BASE-FX standards, i.e., 2km distance for multi-mode fiber. (Single-mode for  
up to greater distance may be available as a special order, request quote).  
2.2.6  
Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules  
The Magnum 6K16V offered a wide option Gigabit speed with multiple choice  
for the modular slot. While up to two Gigabit modules (maxm.) can be configured in the  
modular slot. The Gigabit port option for the modular slot comes in couple of different  
configuration. The two Giga port has been offered as GBPM-2OTX (fiber or RJ-45),  
whereas the single Gigabit module comes in flavor of G+4(10/100 RJ-45 ports) or G+2  
(100Mb fiber ports) as shown below in the figure.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K16V are normally  
set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance and  
performance. The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX  
transceivers are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards.  
There are two LEDs mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber  
port is fixed at 1000Mbps speed full-duplex mode at all times and has LEDs that indicate  
LK (Link status) and ACT (receiving activity) on that port when lit.  
2.2.6  
Packet Prioritization, 802.1p QOS  
Quality of Service means providing consistent predictable data delivery to  
users from datagram paths that go all across a network. As a LAN device, the Magnum  
6K16V can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet  
traffic through its ports and buffers.  
The Magnum 6K16V switching hardware supports the IEEE 802.1p standard  
and fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority to priority tagged  
packets according to the 802.1p standard. In addition to hardware support for QOS, the  
MNS software (R2) supports two priority queues that can be shared across the eight  
levels of defined packet priorities for application-specific priority control by the user  
through software configuration settings.  
2.2.7  
Frame Buffering and Flow Control  
Magnum 6K16V’s are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or packet) is  
loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur. This  
technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct  
CRC, i.e., are good packets. This eliminates the propagation of bad packets, enabling all  
of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.  
While other switching technologies (such as "cut-through" or  
"express") impose minimal frame latency, they will also permit bad frames to propagate  
out to the Ethernet segments connected. The "cut-through" technique permits collision  
fragment frames (which are a result of late collisions) to be forwarded which add to the  
network traffic. Since there is no way to filter frames with a bad CRC (the entire frame  
must be present in order for CRC to be calculated), the result of indiscriminate cut-  
through forwarding is greater traffic congestion, especially at peak activity. Since  
collisions and bad packets are more likely when traffic is heavy, the result of store-and-  
forward operation is that more bandwidth is available for good packets when the traffic  
12

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch

load is greatest.  
When the Magnum 6K16V Switch detects that its free buffer queue space is  
low, the Switch sends industry standard (full-duplex only) PAUSE packets out to the  
devices sending packets to cause “flow control”. This tells the sending devices to  
temporarily stop sending traffic, which allows a traffic catch-up to occur without  
dropping packets. Then, normal packet buffering and processing resumes. This flow-  
control sequence occurs in a small fraction of a second and is transparent to an observer.  
Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K16V Switches is a collision-based flow-  
control mechanism (when operating at half-duplex only). When the Switch detects that  
its free buffer queue space is low, the Switch prevents more frames from entering by  
forcing a collision signal on all receiving half-duplex ports in order to stop incoming  
traffic.  
2.2.8  
Managed Network Software ( MNS-6K ) for Magnum 6K16V  
Magnum 6K16V’s come with licensed MNS-6K software, which allow to  
configure the Magnum 6Ks as a Managed Switch and other Software enabled features.

Features and Benefits  
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs  
Magnum 6K16V Switches provide non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at  
once) performance with standard Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) included.  
They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 16 100Mb or 8+2 Gigabit ports for  
backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.  
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization  
The Magnum 6K16V switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing  
priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port-  
and application-specific priorities, the QoS software may be configured by the user.  
Features Fiber-Built-In  
Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switches are designed to naturally include fiber  
ports, and support mixes of multi-mode and single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb  
speed; full-and half-duplex; classic Small Form Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber  
connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port types.  
S-Ring and Link Loss Learn for reliable high availability using ring topology  
S-Ring along with the Link-Loss-Learn feature provides reliable fast recovery of a  
fault in a ring topology.  
Relay Contacts for monitoring internal power and user-defined software events  
Two Alarm Relay contacts monitor basic operations.. One is for hardware, and will  
signal loss of power internally. The other is software controllable and will signal user-  
defined software events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.  
Vertical mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temp.  
Mounting brackets for vertical mounting are included. DIN-Rail mounting hardware  
is optional. Ethernet signal and power cables attach in the bottom. Two sets of status  
LEDs, one set viewable at the port connector and one set viewable from the front.  
Standard AC power input, -48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC input is optional  
Standard AC power input is IEC plug, auto-ranging for worldwide use. For special  
applications, models with –48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC are available. Dual Source  
DC input can also be selected and configured on the DC power input models.  
Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation.  
Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6K16V design  
provides for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature dual-rating is  
60`C per UL methods, and 95°C per type test methods..

Applications  
Magnum 6K16V Fiber Switches offer high performance, modularity and  
availability. They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as  
single or dual Gigabit(1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard LAN management  
software. Magnum 6K16V Switches are easily used in a variety of applications including  
client/server computing, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks,  
and stream traffic for VOIP and audio/video applications, or a very diversified  
combination of mixed media in Industrial floor applications.. The performance  
characteristic of the 6K16V Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of subnets  
(one subnet per 6K16V 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.  
The mixed-media modular capability is ideal for Industrial applications where  
existing Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated. The  
fiber-built-in media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the  
LAN structure.  
Example 1 : Magnum 6K16V Switch for a Industrial application  
Equipped with lots of useful features, hardened enclosure, wide spread of  
AC/DC power supply option, extended temperature rating qualifies the Magnum 6K16V  
Managed switch, for any Industrial factory-floors, traffic control, transportations systems  
and power utilities applications. The bundles of MNS-6K software operated features  
diversified this managed switch to operate and perform securely and reliably in all  
critical applications. The addition of S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn software feature allow  
this Managed switch to provide a very secure highly available redundant network  
capability in any ring topology network.  
In an Industrial environment where the factory floors are networked with  
Ethernet based mixed-media LANs, equipped with PLCs, computers for taking reading  
and data from M/C, Client/ Server databases and fetching these important datas to the  
central office data warehouses. The Managed 6K16V’s modularity along with MNS-6K  
features, remarkably handle these kind of network very securely and reliably through out  
the Factory-floors. The DIN-Rail Mounting options on the Magnum 6K16, allow the  
Factory floor Industrial’s user to mount securely anywhere on their Network setup.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
10 or 100Mb fiber provide a very widespread option to the users to mix match their  
legacy and advance network needs. The modularity of the 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
makes it an attractive choice for use in applications with LAN connections to an  
organization’s multiple site offices and factory- floors. The different locations can be  
easily connected together with the Fiber ports supported by the Magnum 6K16V Switch.  
A main NT-server in a secure area protected from earthquake or fire hazards can be  
connected to the full duplex Gigabit Fiber port.  
Extended temp. ratings and wide options of AC/DC power supply qualifies this  
managed 6K16V switch to use in temp. controlled network floor and many others temp  
sensitive critical Industrial applications, where above normal room temp. is required to  
operate the network. Full-duplex future proof fiber media can easily connect long  
distance subnets and provide a stable secure network to all applications. The SNMP  
management capability of the Magnum 6K16V Switch helps create a database of all the  
network subnets to easily manage the network.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
3.0  
Installation  
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the  
following precautions:  
1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment  
must be less than or equal to 500C.  
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and  
safe operation.  
3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
system, placement of the equipment must not overload or load  
unevenly the rack system.  
4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent  
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.  
5.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and  
uncompromised earthing path.  
This section describes installation of the Magnum 6K16V Switches, as well as  
connection of the various Ethernet media types.  
3.1  
Locating Magnum 6K16V Switches  
For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.4.  
For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3.  
For DC power options, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C.  
For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters)  
of the intended Magnum 6K16V site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K16V will  
normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an  
open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around  
the unit so that cooling can occur from convection while the unit is in operation. The  
6K16V has no fans, so it is silent when in operation. Internal electronics use the case as  
a heat sink, so the unit may normally be quite warm to the touch.  
3.2  
Connecting Ethernet Media  
The Magnum 6K16V Switches are specifically designed to support  
all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is  
accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be  
individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description  
of the PMs.  
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE  
802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:

3.2.1  
Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”  
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber  
connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6K16V module, MST-type  
port.  
1. Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the  
tips of the connectors on the PM. Save these dust caps for future use.  
2. Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue  
dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.  
Note:  
One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color  
bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the  
associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.  
3. Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum PM to the  
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of  
the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.  
4. Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post on the PM) to the Transmit  
(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.  
5.  
The LINK LED on the front of the PM will illuminate when a proper  
connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in  
the unit). If LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal cause is  
improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables at the PM connector to  
remedy this situation.  
3.2.2  
Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"  
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with SC-type fiber  
connectors, i.e., using 6K-MSC, 6K-SSC single-mode.  
When connecting fiber media to SC connectors, simply snap on the two square male  
connectors into the SC female jacks of the 6KPM until it clicks and secures.  
3.2.3  
Connecting Single-Mode Fiber Optic  
When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port  
connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode fiber cable

(9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for multi-mode where xx/xx  
are the diameters of the core and the core plus the cladding respectively). Single-mode  
fiber allows full bandwidth at longer distances, and may be used to connect 10 Mb nodes  
up to 10 Km apart, or 18Km with the 6K-SSC.  
The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber applies to single-mode fiber  
connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2.2 above.  
3.2.4  
Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45,CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or Shielded)  
The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6K16V can be connected to the following two  
media types: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. CAT 5 cables should be used when making  
100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports, CAT 3 may be  
used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100  
meters (328 ft).

and 100Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a  
mixed-speed network, since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for either 10 and  
100Mb/s.  
The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-  
TX twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both  
unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.  
1. Using standard twisted pair media, insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45  
plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that, even though the connector is  
shielded, either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.  
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device  
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be  
illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established  
3.2.5  
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5E or better, Unshielded or Shielded)  
The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K16V can be connected to the media  
types, 1000BASE-T or CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP)  
balanced cable. The CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP)  
balanced cable is recommended to use when making 1000BASE-TX connections. In  
either case, the max distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).

The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment  
to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted  
pair cables.  
1. 1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected. Insert  
either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port.  
Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded  
cables and wiring may be used.  
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device  
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be  
illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established  
3.2.6  
Connecting Gigabit Media Using GBICs  
The Gigabit ports accept industry-standard GBICs for user selection of the  
gigabit media type desired. A selection of fiber and copper GBICs are available.  
3.3  
DIN-Rail Mounting  
The Magnum 6K16V is designed for use in  
a “factory floor” industrial environment. It is available  
with optional DIN-Rail brackets to mount it securely  
in a metal factory floor enclosure, maintained  
vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit.  
The Magnum 6K16V requires two DIN-Rail  
mounting clips or latches for secure mounting, and  
these may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-VRM.  
See a 6K16V viewed from the rear, at right, with  
model DIN-RAIL-VRM in place on the unit.  
The Din Rail Latching clips are mounted on the upper rear  
corners of the 6K16V unit. Two threaded holes are  
provided on the sides of 6K16V for DIN-Rail mounting  
purposes. See side view at the left, with the top of the unit  
pointed to the right. The required two screws are included  
with the DIN-Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL.  
PAN w/star washer. The two heavy duty Din-Rail latches  
are designed so that they can be manually accessed from  
the top when the 6K16V is installed on a DIN Rail.  
To install the 6K16V with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold  
the 6K16V in the vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward  
the DIN-Rail. Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the latches

into holding position by moving the bottom of the 6K16V inwards to a vertical position.  
The DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy duty, and will hold the 6K16V securely in  
position, even with cabling attached to the unit.  
To release the 6K16V from the DIN-Rail mounting, press the top of the two DIN-  
Rail latches down simultaneously to release the 6K16V so that it can be dismounted by  
pulling the bottom out. Once the bottom of the 6K16V is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch  
is not engaged and the 6K16V can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting..  
The picture below is a front / right-side view of a DIN-Rail mounted 6K16V. It  
shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6K16V on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection  
cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6K126V unit is held out  
from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets. The 6K16V design uses the case for  
cooling (patent pending), and needs to be mounted vertically with air flow space in the  
front, rear, and sides.  
Fig 3.3.1- Magnum 6K16V mounted vertically with DIN-Rail brackets and latches  
The DIN-Rail mounting brackets and latches are optional and need to be ordered  
as separate items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-VRM  
3.3.1  
Mounting Dimensions for 6K16V with metal brackets  
Each Mangum 6K16V is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to mount the  
unit securely. It is recommended to mount the 6K16V vertically, as shown below, for  
proper cooling and long-life reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit with space  
for air movement around the top and the sides, typically a minimum of 1 inch..

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
Note that the back of the 6K16V unit is held out from the panel or wall behind it,  
creating a rear space of about ¼ inch or 1cm. This allows air circulation and cooling of  
the rear part of the case. Since the 6K16V uses special internal thermal techniques  
(patent pending) to move the heat generated by the electronic components inside into the  
case, the case may be quite warm to the touch during normal operation.  
The unit can be mounted using the brackets turned outside (normal) or inside (if space is  
tight). Attach the mounting bracket either outside or inside as shown in the illustration  
above (dotted line shown for the brackets inside). The spacing for the mounting screws  
imto the supporting wall or panel is a rectangle 11.89” x 7.85” center-to-center.  
3.4  
Powering the Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
The Magnum 6K16V Switches incorporate an internal universal power supply  
and have a recessed male IEC connector for the AC power cord at the left-rear. A  
manual power ON-OFF switch is adjacent. A six-foot 115 VAC 60 Hz standard power  
cord is supplied with each unit shipped within the United States and Canada.  
The auto-ranging power supply supports installation environments where the  
AC voltage is from 90 to 260 volts with a power input frequency between 47 and 63 Hz.  
The 16-port units will consume over 20 watts of power typically. When connecting the  
Ethernet cabling, there is no need to power down the unit. Individual cable segments can  
be connected or disconnected without concern for AC power-related problems or damage

-48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with dual-source DC input,  
See the Appendices of this manual for more details. Use an RFQ for other variations.  
3.5 Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps  
The Alarm Contacts feature, standard on Magnum 6K16V’s, provides two  
Form C Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two sets of status  
monitoring wires at the green terminal block. When this option is present, the terminal  
block for Alarm Contacts is part of the Power Input panel in the Magnum 6K16’s case.  
The AC or DC power input connection is in the same panel. A manual On-Off Switch for  
power to the unit is not available on 6K16 units with the Alarm Contacts option, as these  
two features occupy the same space in the case.  
The first NC Alarm Contact (top position) is a “Software Alarm”, operated  
by user settings in the MNS-6K software. The user can disable the Software Alarm  
feature with a software configuration command if desired. When the Software Alarm is  
enabled, the Form C Normally Closed (NC) contact is held close during normal software  
operation. A user-defined software malfunction, such as an SNMP Trap or a Software  
Security violation or an S-Ring Fault, causes the contact to open and thus trigger an  
alarm in the user’s monitoring system  
The second (bottom position) NC Alarm Contact is held close when there is  
power on the main board inside of the 6K16. This provides a “Hardware Alarm” because  
the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an external power  
down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the Magnum 6K16  
Switch. Useful info. about Alarm contacts:  
1. There is four terminal block (1,2,3,4)provided next to AC/DC power supply  
2. The top two pins (1,2) are software operated  
3. The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated  
4. By default it is NC (normally closed)  
5. The software operation need to be enable  
and set to get the Alarm traps. For detail  
information about the Software Alarm and  
software control of SNMP alarm traps, please  
reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software  
User Manual. (Chapter 19th).  
The Alarm Contacts are on the  
front left area (next to the DC power source)  
of the Magnum 6K16V unit and is green in  
color as shown in the picture.

6K16V Port Module (6KPM) Installation  
Note: the modules used in the 6K16V vertical mount unit are similar to those  
used in rack-mount 6K units, except that the top LEDs are positioned for front viewing  
for the vertical-mount 6K16V model. The modules have the letter”V” in the model  
numbers, but otherwise are the same. In the Port Module materials below, all modules  
are referred to as “6KPM” for convenience in describing port module installation.  
Magnum 6K16V Switches are normally received from the factory with all  
required 6KPM modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPM cards need to  
be added or replaced. In cases where additional 6KPM cards are needed, the faceplate  
for an available front-mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes  
this operation.  
3.6.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs  
STOP!!!  
Be sure the power cord is unplugged  
from the chassis before attempting to remove  
and/or replace any PM cards.  
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit  
and will void the warranty.  
Caution- Avoid Static Discharge: The port modules (like most electronic  
equipment) are sensitive to static discharge. Use proper ESD measures  
when handling port modules.  
Step 1. Make sure the 6KPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it  
properly. Each 6KPM Card package except the Gigabit, for field installation  
contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8  
stand offs for Granddaughter board, 6 standoff for daughter Board, nine #4-40  
Pan-Head screws along with Front panel face plate package. The Front panel  
faceplate package includes 2 retainer brackets and four #2-56 flat head screws.  
NOTE: Every 6KPM Card package comes with their matching Daughter and  
Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPM card should not work properly if  
mixed with other Fiber combo 6KPM card packages. Always install the PM  
module separately one by one to avoid the mixing. Do not change the Blue  
color DIP Switch setting ever, and leave it at factory default.

Step 2. Remove Chassis Cover  
The Magnum 6K16V chassis consists of top-bottom, front and rear parts and  
assembled together with the help of 18 Philips-head screws. There are 6 screws located  
on the front panel of the unit (2 each on top and the bottom and one each at the side), 12  
for top-bottom cover of the unit (6 each on the bottom side of the unit) and 6 screws  
each on the sides and 6 screws for the rear panel (2 each on top and bott0m and one each  
on the side). Remove these screws. Once these screws are removed, the front panel is  
easily slid out to the front of the  
chassis base.  
Figure 3.6.1a: Removing the  
Front panel from the unit  
Caution: Be careful  
not to disturb the  
power supply.  
Once the front panel is  
removed, the front cover may be slid  
out to the front of the unit. Hold on  
the back part and then carefully and slowly slide out the top chassis cover towards the  
front side, as shown in the picture.  
When the chassis top cover has been removed, the interior of the unit is  
exposed. Looking down into the Magnum 6K16V unit, notice that there are individual  
PM installation spaces and female latch (white) connectors provided on the main board  
along with four stand-off’s for each 6KPM card position. (See Figure 3.6.1b).

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
Step 3. Remove front panel face plate retaining screws  
There are two PM slots (A, B) located on the front of the chassis cover. Looking into the  
vertical placed Chassis cover of the unit, there are three brackets with retaining screws  
(#256 flat head ) which hold each PM Face plate card slot securely. These six screws  
shown in the picture below are used to secure a PM face plate in position, but unscrew  
only four of the screws as shown in Fig. below. These screws are also used to secure the

the latching connectors  
until the connectors  
latched up securely.  
Figure 3.6.2f: Securely latching up 6KPM Cards into a Magnum 6K16V  
NOTE: All 6KPM slots need not be filled in order for the Magnum 6K16V unit to be  
operational. When leaving 6KPM slots empty, always use a face plate (Magnum 6K8-  
BLNK) to cover the slot opening in the front panel. This will maintain proper cooling  
air flow, safety, and operation as required by FCC, CE, and other regulations.  
Step 6. Now screw down the daughter board with 6 #440 screws, so that it holds the  
daughter board securely. The figure below shows the top view of 6KPM card

Removing 6KPM Cards  
To properly remove a 6KPM card from the 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch,  
follow the 3 steps below.  
Step 1. Remove chassis cover  
See procedures in Section 3.6.1 above.  
Caution: Be sure the power cord is unplugged.  
Step 2. Remove retaining screws placed on top for the 6KPM and Face Plate  
On the top of the daughter module there are six  
retaining screws for each 6KPM card. These  
screws are used to secure a 6KPM card in  
position (see Figure 3.6.3a). Remove the three  
standoffs holding the Granddaughter board with  
the chassis. The screen faceplate screws out from  
the inside front of the chassis cover by loosening  
the 4 screws and bracket while holding it down  
firmly. Figure 3.6.3a: Top View - 6 retaining s crews shown by arrows  
Step 3. Remove 6KPM Card  
Carefully and gently pull  
out the daughter board from the latching  
connectors, using both hands, gripping  
the board near the latch-up connectors as  
shown in Fig. 3.6.3b . If the now empty  
slot is to remain unused, be sure to install  
a 6KPM-BLNK face plate cover.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
4.0  
OPERATION  
This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K16V  
Switch.  
4.1  
Switching Functionality  
A Magnum 6K16V provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed  
among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K16V supports10/100Mbs for copper media and  
10 or 100Mb separate traffic domains for fiber ports to maximize bandwidth utilization  
and network performance. All ports can communicate to all other ports in a Magnum  
6K16V, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other  
port.  
Magnum 6K16V units are plug-and-play devices. There is no software  
configuring necessary to be done for basic operation at installation or for maintenance.  
The only hardware configuration settings are user options for an UP-LINK Switch  
(resides inside the unit) on the 6K8-RJ45. Optional Half / Full duplex mode and 10 or  
100Mbps selection for the switched ports must be configured through MNS software per  
unit as per the requirement. The internal functions of both are described below.  
Filtering and Forwarding  
Each time a packet arrives on one of the switched ports, the decision is taken to  
either filter or to forward the packet. Packets whose source and destination addresses are  
on the same port segment will be filtered, constraining them to that one port and relieving  
the rest of the network from having to process them. A packet whose destination address  
is on another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent  
to the other ports where it is not needed. Traffic needed for maintaining the operation of  
the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) are forwarded to all ports.  
The Magnum 6K16V Switches operate in the store-and-forward switching  
mode, which eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when  
there is heavy traffic on the network.  
Address Learning  
All Magnum 6K16V units have address table capacities of 4K node addresses  
suitable for use in larger networks. They are self-learning, so as nodes are added,  
removed or moved from one segment to another, the 6K16V Switch automatically keeps  
up with node locations.  
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of  
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.

4.3  
Up-link Manual Switches set as (=) , for RJ-45 port only  
The module has a manual Up-link switch, located on the inside of the board  
next to the 10/100Mb (6K8-RJ45) port # 1 which it controls. It enables the port’s cable  
to be cascaded (X) to a 10/100Mb repeater or switching hub in the network. The Up-link  
Switch position is configured as (=) position by default from the factory settings on all  
the RJ-45 ports, either used for all copper module or combo module.  
4.4  
Auto-negotiation, for Fast Ethernet copper ports  
The Managed Magnum 6K16V Fast Ethernet copper ports can be set for either  
fixed 100Mb speed or for 10/100 F/H N-way auto-negotiation per the IEEE802.3u  
standard. The selection is made via MNS software. The factory default setting is for  
auto-negotiation. At 10Mb or 100Mb-fixed speed, the user may select half- or full-  
duplex mode by MNS Software for each RJ-45 port separately. For detail information  
see Section 8 (Optimizing Port usage) of Magnum 6K16V Software user guide (MNS) .  
See Section (2.2.9 at page no.13) of this manual to access the “6K16V Software  
userguide”  
One frequently-used application for the Managed Magnum 6K16V Switch  
copper ports is to connect one of them using a fiber media converter to another Switch in  
the network backbone, or to some other remote 100Mb device. In this case, it is  
desirable to operate the fiber link at 100Mb speed, and at either half- or full duplex mode  
depending on the capabilities of the remote device. Standard commercially available  
Fast Ethernet media converters mostly do not support auto-negotiation properly, and  
require that the switched port to which they are connected be at 100Mb fixed speed.  
Attachment to 10/100 auto-negotiation ports typically will not work properly. The  
6K16V Switch’s RJ-45 ports handle this situation by configuring the ports as per desire  
through MNS software port settings and can check the port status of each port after the  
change.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
When Magnum 6K16V RJ-45 copper ports are set for auto-negotiation and are  
connected to another auto-negotiating device, there are 4 different speed and F/H modes  
possible depending on what the other device supports. These are: (1) 100Mb full-duplex,  
(2) 100Mb half-duplex, (3) 10 Mb full-duplex and (4) 10 Mb half-duplex.  
The auto-negotiation logic will attempt to operate in descending order and will normally  
arrive at the highest order mode that both devices can support at that time. (Since auto-  
negotiation is potentially an externally controlled process, the original “highest order  
mode” result can change at any time depending on network changes that may occur). If  
the device at the other end is not an auto-negotiating device, the 6K16V’s RJ-45 ports  
will try to detect its idle signal to determine 10 or 100 speed, and will default to half-  
duplex at that speed per the IEEE standard.  
General information -  
Auto-negotiation per-port for 802.3u-compliant switches occurs when:  
-- the devices at both ends of the cable are capable of operation at either 10  
Mb or 100Mb speed and/or in full- or half-duplex mode, and can  
send/receive auto-negotiation pulses, and . . .  
-- the second of the two connected devices is powered up*, i.e., when  
LINK is established for a port, or  
-- the LINK is re-established on a port after being lost temporarily.  
NOTE Some NIC cards only auto-negotiate when the computer system  
that they are in is powered up. These are exceptions to the “negotiate at  
LINK – enabled” rule above, but may be occasionally encountered.  
When operating in 100Mb half-duplex mode, cable distances and hop-counts  
may be limited within that collision domain. The Path Delay Value (PDV) bit-times must  
account for all devices and cable lengths within that domain. For Magnum 6K16V Fast  
Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.

4.5  
Flow-control, IEEE 802.3x standard  
Magnum 6K16V Switches incorporate a flow-control mechanism for Full-  
Duplex mode. The purpose of flow-control is to reduce the risk of data loss if a long  
burst of activity causes the switch to save frames until its buffer memory is full. This is  
most likely to occur when data is moving from a 100Mb port to a 10 Mb port and the  
10Mb port is unable to keep up. It can also occur when multiple 100Mb ports are  
attempting to transmit to one 100Mb port, and in other protracted heavy traffic situations.  
Magnum 6K16V Switches implement the 802.3x flow control (non-blocking)  
on Full-Duplex ports, which provides for a “PAUSE” packet to be transmitted to the  
sender when the packet buffer is nearly filled and there is danger of lost packets. The  
transmitting device is commanded to stop transmitting into the 6K16V Switch port for  
sufficient time to let the Switch reduce the buffer space used. When the available free-  
buffer queue increases, the Switch will send a “RESUME" packet to tell the transmitter  
to start sending the packets. Of course, the transmitting device must also support the  
802.3x flow control standard in order to communicate properly during normal operation.  
Note: When in Half-Duplex mode, the 6K16V Switch implements a back-  
pressure algorithm on 10/100 Mb ports for flow control. That is, the switch prevents  
frames from entering the device by forcing a collision indication on the half-duplex ports  
that are receiving. This temporary “collision” delay allows the available buffer space to  
improve as the switch catches up with the traffic flow.  
4.6  
Power Budget Calculations for Magnum 6K16V PM’s with Fiber Media  
Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to  
compute the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media  
installations using Magnum products, the following equations should be used:  
OPB (Optical Power Budget) = PT(min) - PR(min)  
where PT = Transmitter Output Power, and PR = Receiver Sensitivity  
Worst case OPB = OPB - 1dB(for LED aging) - 1dB(for insertion loss)  
Worst case distance = {Worst case OPB, in dB} / [Cable Loss, in dB/Km]  
where the “Cable Loss” for 62.5/125 and 50/125µm (M.m) is 2.8 dB/km,  
and the “Cable Loss” for 100/140 (Multi-mode) is 3.3 dB/km,  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.5 dB/km  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.4 dB/km (LXSC25)  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.25 dB/km  
(LXSC40)  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.2 dB/km (LXSC70)  
The following data has been collected from component manufacturer’s (Agilent’s and  
Lucent’) web sites and catalogs to provide guidance to network designers and installers.

* Note: The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed  
over long distances (i.e., in excess of approx. 400 meters) can be achieved only  
if the following factors are both applied:  
The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, i.e. the  
full-duplex (factory default) setting for 100Mbps fiber ports must be used,  
and  
The worst-case OPB of the fiber link must be greater than the fiber cable’s  
passive Attenuation.  
(Attenuation = Cable loss + LED aging loss + Insertion loss + safety factor)

during shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs  
of damage and ensure that the items listed below are included.  
This package should contain:  
1 or more 6K16V PMs  
Installation instructions, with illustrations  
Remove the 6K16V PM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure to  
keep the shipping container should you need to ship any of the PMs separately  
at a later date. In the event there are items missing or damaged, contact your  
supplier. If you need to return the unit, use the original shipping container if  
possible. Refer to Chapter 5 for specific return procedures.  
5.2  
6KPM Module Description  
An important feature of the Magnum 6K16V is the use of Port  
Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since  
the Magnum 6K16V Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the  
6 or 8-port interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types  
at 10 or 100Mps speed. Each 6K16V PM provides six or eight ports for  
connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media.  
For a list of 6K16V Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2  
Each 6K16V PM is individually described in the following sections.  
NOTE: The port #1 on the RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all  
RJ-45 ports or used for COMBO module is set as (=) other user ports.

segments. When installed in a Magnum 6K16V Managed Switch, the copper port  
supports the standard distance 100m on each port and the fiber port supports fiber optic  
cable distances up the IEEE-standard 10Mbps distance limits, i.e., typically 2km at full-  
duplex and half-duplex.  
Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received, a  
Link (LK) LED that indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit, and  
FDX/HDX LED to indicate full-duplex mode when lit (or half-duplex when off). The  
10/100 LED indicates the speed, if the LED is ON, 100Mbps if it is OFF, 10Mbps.

applied to the two inputs. It protects the Switch from incorrect DC input connections. An  
incorrect polarity connection, for example, will neither affect the Switch, its internal  
power supply, nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply.  
The manual power “On-Off” Switch (optional) is used for powering the unit on  
and off when it is placed into or taken out of service.  
B3.0  
APPLICATIONS FOR DC POWERED ETHERNET SWITCHES  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are easily installed in a variety of applications  
where -48VDC, 24, or 125VDC or 5VDC power is used as the primary power source.  
The DC power configuration capability provides an Ethernet networking solution  
utilizing a special power supply in switches with a proven track record.  
The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry,  
where it is common for facilities to operate on -48VDC power. Such companies include  
regular and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and  
other communication companies. In addition, many high availability equipment services,  
such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other  
facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power  
failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and  
operations monitoring equipment.  
The 24V and 125VDC options are particularly useful in the Industrial environment,  
where it is common for facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The 125VDC  
options are mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations, electrical  
generating plants, etc. The 24VDC applications are mainly in the Industrial environment,  
such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc. The 5VDC options are  
mainly used for military or Industrial factory floor applications.

6K16V’S -48V, 24, 125 OR 5VDC INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC leads (or  
24VDC/125VDC/5VDC leads) to the DC power terminal block on the Magnum 6K16V  
Switch. The DC terminal block on the Magnum 6K16V Managed Switch is located on  
the left front of the unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-down lead posts. The power  
terminals are identified as positive (+) and negative (-), and they are floating inside the  
unit so that either may be grounded by the user if desired. The chassis is “earth” or  
ground (GND).  
The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply insert the DC leads to the  
Switch’s power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. The use of Ground  
(GND) is optional; it connects to the Switch chassis. Ensure that each lead is securely  
tightened.  
NOTE: Always use a voltmeter to measure the voltage of the incoming power supply  
and figure out the +ve potential lead or -ve potential lead. The more +ve potential lead  
will connect to the post labeled “+ve” and the rest to the “-ve”. The GND can be

hooked up at the last.  
When power is applied, the green PWR LED will illuminate.  
Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K16V unit has a floating ground, so  
the user may elect to Ground either + or = terminal to suit the customer’s use.  
Before connecting hot lines to the Terminal Block of –48VDC, 24VDC or  
125VDC, always use a digital voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the power  
supply and determine the lead which is more “+ve potential”. The more “+ve” voltage  
lead from 48V or –48V supply must be connected to the post labeled “+”.  
An ON-OFF manual switch is optional for DC power. This can be used to cut  
off power connections and as a RESET for the Magnum 6K16V Switch.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch  
Installation and User Guide (06/04)  
C4.0 FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE DUAL-SOURCE DESIGN  
a) The Switch unit can receive power from either input, “A” or “B”. The hub will normally draw  
its power from the DC source with the highest voltage at a given time.  
b) The Switch unit will not allow power to flow from a higher voltage input to a lower voltage  
input, i.e. the two DC power sources are not mixed together by the hub.  
c) When one correct DC input is present, the Switch will receive power if the other DC input is  
absent, or even if it is connected with reverse polarity or shorted or grounded.  
d) Reverse polarity connections, if they should accidentally occur on either input, will not damage  
the Switch or power supply internally (nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply)  
because of the blocking action of the diodes. This is true even if one input connection is  
reversed while the Switch is operating from the other source.  
e) The Switch will not receive power (and will not work) when both inputs are simultaneously  
absent or are both incorrectly connected.  
C5.0  
INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC, 24VDC and  
125VDC dual source leads to the -48VDC, 24VDC & 125VDC power terminal block on  
the Magnum 6Ks Switch (shown in Figure )  
The -48VDC terminal block on the Magnum 6K16V Switch, as shown in Fig C5.0 is  
located on the right rear of the unit and  
A+ A- B- B+  
is equipped with five (5) screw-down  
lead posts. If it is the reverse model it  
is located on the left rear. The primary  
terminals are identified as positive  
(A+), negative (A-), and the secondary  
36-70VDC  
36-70VDC  
GND  
power terminals as negative (B-),  
positive(B+). The chassis “earth” or ground (GND) is a threaded post with a #6 nut. The  
Dual Source terminal block for the 24VDC and 125VDC are similar.  
Figure C5.0: -48VDC Dual-Source, wiring connections to the External  
Terminal Block on a Magnum 48VDC with Dual-Source option  
Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K16V unit has a floating ground, so  
the user may elect to Ground either + or = terminal to suit the customer’s use.  
Before connecting hot lines to the Terminal Block of –48VDC, 24VDC or  
125VDC, always use a digital voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the power  
supply and determine the lead which is more “+ve potential”. The more “+ve” voltage  
lead from 48V or –48V supply must be connected to the post labeled “+”.  
The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply connect the DC leads to  
the Switch’s power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. The use of Ground  
(GND) is optional; it connects to the Switch chassis. Ensure that each lead is securely  
tightened.  
The 24VDC & 125VDC terminal block on Magnum 6K16V’s is similar to that  
described in the –48VDC information above.
