Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch Installation and User Guide  
2.2 Product Description - Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch  
Magnum™ 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches provide configurability in Heavy  
07/10  
Duty mobile networking applications. The high performance Magnum 6KM base unit  
comes with four 10/100 M12 copper ports (either regular or PoE). Up to four 100Mb  
fiber ports or up to four more 10/100 M12 copper ports, or combinations, may also be  
configured. Two Gigabit ports may also be configured with 10/100/1000 M12 copper  
ports or LC-type fiber ports.  
M12 military-style port connectors for copper Ethernet ports (instead of RJ45  
connectors) make the 6KM distinctive, and withstand the vibration and shock found in  
mobile applications. To connect the M12 port cables, simply align the keyed female  
connector to the 6KM male connector and twist the threaded lock to secure.  
Magnum 6KM comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks  
software. (MNS-6K-SECURE optional) See the datasheet for more information at  
Magnum 6KMs are ideal for mobile networks such as on passenger railways,  
public service and emergency vehicles, shipboard, mining equipment, and military  
vehicles. Applications include in-carriage networking of IP-enabled infotainment  
systems, security and surveillance systems, and mobile network devices on trains, light  
rail and busses, as well as passenger accommodation technology in a variety of mobile  
scenarios. The 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch has the appropriate agency approvals,  
including EN50155 and EN50121-4 Railway Applications Standards, IEC61373 for  
shock and vibration, NEMA TS-2 for transportation systems outdoors, and DNV  
certification for shipboard and other marine applications. Additional certifications  
include third-party UL testing for safety, NEBS L3 compliance, and IEC 61850 & IEEE  
1613 for power utilities.  
The 6KM’s sealed metal case serves as a heat sink, enabling it to operate in the  
harshest mobile environments and achieves high EMI noise immunity. The 6KM is  
available with optional Conformal Coating for moisture resistance and is rated IP52 for  
protection against dust and dirt. The 6KM can be configured with the user’s choice of  
power input, including DC at 12V, 24V, 48V, 110V, 125V, 250VDC, and Dual-Source  
for each, as well as universal AC.

07/10  
The 6KM managed switches also provides a PoE option via power –inside PoE  
base unit (6KMP-48VDC) on Slot A and allows the users to utilize up to 4-ports of PoE  
or 8-ports with additional PoE module (P6KM4-4M12) on Slot C to support 802.3af  
Powered devices. See details for PoE base unit in sec 5.1.11. The Power Sourcing  
Equipment (PSE) is fully compatible with Powered Devices (PD)(e.g wireless access  
points, IP phones) that comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. The PoE switch  
ports have an auto-sensing algorithm, so that they provide power only to 802.3af, PoE  
end devices. PoE is managed by a multi-stage handshake to protect equipment from  
damage and to manage power budgets . The PoE ports will discontinue supplying  
power when the PoE powered devices are disconnected. This feature supports the  
802.3af PoE PSE standard for over-current protection, under-current detection, and fault  
protection.  
High performance features include non-blocking unicast traffic speed on all  
ports and 802.1p QoS Traffic Prioritization. Magnum 6KM switches are “plug-and-play”  
and are designed for use in connecting edge devices such as PLCs, IEDs and PoE video  
cameras with upstream switches and routers where a mix of bursty data traffic and  
priority streaming traffic for video surveillance and cell-tower applications are present.  
Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches have heavy-duty steel cases and are  
readily available with standard Industrial grade DC power. Internal AC power and DC  
power input types may be 12V, 24V, 48V, 110, 125V, 250V and dual source DC input is  
optional on the 6KM.  
Alarm Relay contacts provided on each Magnum 6KM Switch monitor the  
hardware and software through traps, providing a record of any losses of power signals  
and other user- defined software events. See Section 3.5 for details.  
2.2.1  
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  
6KM can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet traffic  
through its ports and buffers.  
The Magnum 6KM 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.  
2.2.2  
Frame Buffering and Flow Control  
Magnum 6KM’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.

07/10  
When the Magnum 6KM 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 it packets to cause “flow control”. This tells the sending devices to temporarily  
stop sending traffic, which allows the traffic to catch-up 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 the Magnum 6KM 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.  
2.3  
Managed Network Software for Magnum 6KM  
Magnum 6KM comes with licensed MNS-6K software or MNS-6K-SECURE, which  
allow the user to configure the Magnum 6KM as a Managed Switch and implements  
security features and other software enabled features.  
(NOTE: Magnum 6KM managed switch will work with MNS-6K Rel v4.1.9  
firmware or higher version only, or MNS-6K-SECURE v14.1.9 firmware or higher  
version only. Using any earlier MNS-6K versions will not support the 6KM  
hardware)  
For additional information about MNS-6K, see the Magnum MNS-6K  
Software User guide in pdf format, a separate document normally accessible via your

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch Installation and User Guide  
2.4 Features and Benefits  
07/10  
M12 Copper connections  
Magnum 6KM Switches utilize M12 connectors to withstand shock and vibration.  
Ideally suited for the harshest of mobile applications.  
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs  
Magnum 6KM Switches provide unicast non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed  
at once) performance with standard Managed Network Software. They are typically  
used in LAN traffic centers with up to 8 100Mb +2 Gigabit ports for backbone  
connections, where managed network services are desired.  
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization  
The Magnum 6KM 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 of data, the QoS software may be configured.  
Fiber Ports Built-In  
Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports,  
and support mixes of multi-mode, single-mode, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and  
half-duplex; and classic Small Form Factor (SFF) fiber connectors.  
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 controlled and will signal user-  
defined software events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.  
Panel mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temperature  
Mounting brackets for vertical or horizontal mounting are included. DIN-Rail  
mounting hardware is optional.  
All types of power input, 12, 24, 48, 110, 125, 250VDC and AC  
The 6KM can be configured with the user’s choice of DC power supplies: 12V and  
24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and for PoE-powered  
applications such as IP video surveillance, 110V for railways and 125V or 250V for  
substations. An internal AC power supply may also be chosen, universal AC for use  
worldwide.  
Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation  
Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6KM design provides  
for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature dual-rating is 60`C  
per UL methods, and 85°C per IEC type test methods.  
MNS-6K licensed Management Software  
Managed Networks Software (MNS) basic version, combined with a  
Magnum 6K-Series Switch, provides power and efficiency in a managed Ethernet  
platform. A full range of industry-standard software functions in the MNS-6K  
software product enables the versatile Magnum 6K Switches to perform efficiently  
in a wide range of managed LAN applications, including redundant topologies.

RSTP-2004 provides reliable fast recovery from a fault in a redundant LAN, which  
may include Magnum switches and routers as well as other vendors industry-standard-  
RSTP products. Redundant topologies may include rings, dual-rings, and complex  
meshes.  
2.5  
Applications  
Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches offer high performance,  
configurability and high availability. They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and  
copper ports as well as dual Gigabit (1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard LAN  
management software.  
Magnum 6KMs are ideal for mobile networks such as on passenger railways,  
public service and emergency vehicles, shipboard, mining equipment, and military  
vehicles. Applications include in-carriage networking of IP-enabled infotainment  
systems, security and surveillance systems, and mobile network devices on trains, light  
rail and busses, as well as passenger accommodation technology in a variety of mobile  
scenarios. The 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch has the appropriate agency approvals,  
including EN50155 and EN50121-4 Railway Applications Standards, IEC61373 for  
shock and vibration, NEMA TS-2 for transportation systems outdoors, and DNV  
certification for shipboard and other marine applications. Additional certifications  
include third-party UL testing for safety, NEBS L3 compliance, and IEC 61850 & IEEE  
1613 for power utilities.  
The mixed-media modular capability is ideal for industrial applications where  
existing Ethernet LAN network cabling must be accommodated. The fiber-built-in  
media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the LAN structure.

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 steady-state long-term environmental temperature  
around the equipment must be less than or equal to 600C.  
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, adequate airflow 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 6KM Switches, as well as connection  
of the various Ethernet media types.  
3.1  
Locating Magnum 6KM Switches  
For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3  
For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.3.1  
For DC power input data, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C  
.
The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6KM 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 6KM 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.

07/10  
Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. (See Section 5.1 for a description of  
the Modules)  
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 802.3,  
802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are as follows:

3.2.1  
Connecting Twisted Pair for 10/100Mb (CAT3, CAT5, UTP or STP)  
The M12 ports of the Magnum 6KM 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).  
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cable be used whenever possible  
in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network, since 10/100 copper  
switched 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 M12 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and  
shielded twisted pair cables.  
1. Using standard twisted pair cable with M12, 4-pin connector at 6KM side, insert  
the end of the cable with an M12 plug into the M12 connector of the port.  
(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/A LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will  
be illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established.

07/10  
NOTE: for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI  
advises that, for substation applications, the M12 ports are intended for connectivity  
to other communication equipment such as routers or telecommunication  
multiplexers installed in close proximity (i.e., less than 2 meters or 6.5ft) to the  
6KM. It is not recommended to use these ports in substation applications to  
interface to field devices across distances which could produce high (greater than  
2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR) during line-to-ground fault  
conditions. The 6KM passes the 1613 specifications for zero packet loss with fiber  
ports & with M12 ports used as indicated here.  
Fig 3.2.1a 10/100Mb 4-Pin D-Coded M12 pin configuration  
3.2.2  
Connecting Twisted Pair for Gigabit (CAT5e or better, UTP or STP)  
The M12 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6KM 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 M12 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.  
Using CAT5e or better twisted pair cable with M12, 8-pin connector at 6KM  
side, insert the end of the cable with an M12 plug into the M12 connector of the  
port.  
(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.

3.2.3  
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, up to 70km with the single-mode LC.  
3.2.4  
Connecting Fiber Optic Cable to LC ports  
1.  
Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from  
the tips of the connectors. Save these dust caps for future use.  
2.  
3.  
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.  
Connect the Transmit (TX) port on the Magnum 6KM to the Receive (RX) port  
of the remote device. Connect the Receive (RX) port on the 6KM to the  
Transmit (TX) port of the remote device.  
While connecting fiber media to LC connectors, simply snap on the two square  
male connectors into the LC female jacks of the Fiber connector until it clicks  
and secures.  
The LINK LED on the front of the 6KM will illuminate and turn Green, when a proper  
connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the unit). If  
LINK is not lit or OFF after cable connection, the normal cause is improper cable  
polarity. Swap the fiber cables at the 6KM connector and also check the connectivity on  
the target device to remedy this situation.  
Reconfigure or reboot both of the devices if required.  
If connected properly, you can check via (MNS-6K) software for verifying the validity of  
SFF Gigabit ports.

3.3 DIN-Rail Mounting the Magnum 6KM  
07/10  
The Magnum 6KM is designed for use in a  
“factory floor” industrial environment. It is available  
with an optional DIN-Rail bracket to mount it  
securely in a metal factory floor enclosure,  
maintained vertically for proper convection cooling  
of the unit. The Magnum 6KM requires one DIN-  
Rail bracket for secure mounting. See a 6KM  
viewed from the bottom, at the rear, showing the  
DIN Rail in place.  
The DIN Rail bracket is mounted to the  
bottom of the 6KM unit, as shown. Four threaded  
holes are provided on the bottom of the 6KM for  
DIN-Rail mounting purposes. The required four  
screws are included with the DIN-Rail bracket, and  
are no. 4-40 x 9/32 PHIL. PAN Head. The rail clip is  
spring-loaded with a pull-up latch at the top for easy  
“snap-on” attachment and removal.  
To install the 6KM with the DIN-Rail bracket installed, hold the 6KM in the  
side vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the DIN-  
Rail. Position the DIN bracket over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the bracket into  
holding position by moving the bottom of the 6KM inwards to a vertical position. The  
DIN-Rail bracket is heavy duty, and will hold the 6KM securely in position, even with  
cabling attached to the unit.  
To release the 6KM from the DIN-Rail mounting, push the spring loaded slide  
down until the unit release from the DIN rail, disengaging the DIN rail bracket from the  
DIN rail. Once the bottom of the 6KM is rotated out, the DIN-Rail bracket is not engaged  
and the 6KM can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.  
The DIN-Rail mounting bracket is optional and needs to be ordered as separate  
items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-6KL.  
3.3.1  
Mounting Dimensions for 6KM with metal brackets  
Each Mangum 6KM is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to  
mount the unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the 6KM  
vertically in one of the two mounting positions available, 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.  
Note:  
The metal brackets supplied, hold the back of the 6KM unit out from the  
panel or wall behind it, creating a rear space of about 1/8 inch or 3mm. This allows  
air circulation and cooling of the rear part of the case.

For best cooling of the 6KM,  
attach the metal brackets to metal  
(rather than wood or plastic).  
Attaching to metal helps conduct  
heat away from the 6KM through  
the metal brackets and into the  
metal support structure.  
Since the 6KM has special  
internal thermal techniques 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.

3.5 Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps  
The Alarm Contacts feature, standard on Magnum 6KM’s, provides two Form  
07/10  
Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two sets of status monitoring  
wires at the green terminal block.  
The first NC Alarm Contact is a “Software Alarm” (labeled S/W), 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 triggers an  
alarm in the user’s monitoring system  
The second NC Alarm Contact is held closed when there is power on the main  
board inside of the Switch. This provides a “Hardware Alarm” (labeled H/W) 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 Switch.  
Useful info. about Alarm contacts:  
1. There is a four pin M12 (D-key coded) provided next to the Console port.  
2. The top two pins (1,2) are software operated  
3. The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated  
4. These are both NC (normally closed) relays  
5. The switch’s software operation needs to be enabled and set to get the Alarm traps. For  
detailed information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm  
traps, please reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual.  
The Alarm Contacts are on the front left area (next to the Console port) of the  
Magnum 6KM unit (labeled as ALARM).

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch Installation and User Guide  
07/10  
NOTE for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI  
advises that, for substation applications, the (M12) console ports are intended  
for temporary connectivity to other equipment such as PCs. Since the console  
port connection is temporary, it is excluded from IEEE 1613 packet-loss testing  
per the 1613 standard-defined test procedure.  
4.0  
OPERATION  
This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6KM Switch.  
4.1  
Switching Functionality  
A Magnum 6KM provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed among  
all of its ports. The Magnum 6KM supports10/100Mbs for copper media and 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 6KM, but local  
traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other port.  
The Magnum 6KM units are plug-and-play devices. There is no software  
configuring necessary to be done for basic operation at installation or for maintenance.  
There is an optional Half / Full duplex mode and 10Mbps or 100Mbps selection for the  
switched ports which 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 un-  
interrupted operation of the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) is forwarded  
to all ports.  
The Magnum 6KM 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 6KM units have address table capacities of 8K 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 6KM Switch automatically keeps up  
with node locations.  
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor for  
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.

4.2 Auto-Cross(MDIX) and Auto-negotiation, for M12 ports  
The M12 ports independently support auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in auto-  
07/10  
negotiation mode and will work properly with all the other connected devices with  
RJ-45 ports whether they support Auto-negotiation (e.g 10Mb Hub, media converter)  
or fixed mode at 10Mb or 100Mb Half/Full Duplex(managed switch) or not. No  
cross-over cable is required while using the 6KM’s copper port to other devices.  
Operation is according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.  
The Managed 6KM’s 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 M12 port separately. For detail information See Section 2.3 of this manual for  
information to access the “6K-MNS Software user guide”  
One frequently-used application for the Managed Magnum 6KM 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 the 100Mb fixed speed.  
Attachments to a 10/100 auto-negotiation port typically will not work properly. The  
6KM Switch’s M12 ports handle this situation by configuring the ports as per desired  
through MNS software port settings and can check the port status of each port after the  
change.  
When Magnum 6KM (M12) 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 6KM’s M12 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  
10Mb 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. 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 6KM Fast  
Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.  
4.3  
Flow-control, IEEE 802.3x standard  
Magnum 6KM 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 6KM 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 6KM 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 6KM 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.

4.4 Power Budget Calculations for 6KM Modules with Fiber Media  
Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to  
07/10  
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 (LX25)  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.25 dB/km (ZX40)  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.2 dB/km (ZX70)

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch Port Modules  
This chapter describes each Port Module (PM), including appearance,  
functionality, and status displays.  
5.1  
6KM Modules  
An important feature of the Magnum 6KM is the use of Port Modules for  
flexible mixed-media connectivity to M12 copper and fiber media. The first four ports  
(1,2,3 & 4) of the Magnum 6KM Switches are fixed M12 copper ports with dual-speed  
10/100Mbps auto-negotiating capability. Additionally the switch can accept up to two  
Port Modules to provide the user with up to 6 additional ports (10 total) providing a wide  
selection of Ethernet copper and fiber media connections with 10, 100 and 1000Mbps  
capability and up to 70km.  
Note: The 6KM Port modules are not identical to the port modules used in other  
6K products such as the 6KL, 6KQ, 6K32s 6K25e and 6K16V. For  
information about other 6K products, please see the applicable manual.  
For a list of 6KM Port Modules, refer to Section 1.2  
Each 6KM Port Module (PM) is individually described in the following sections.

5.1.2 6KM4-4M12, 4 x 10/100Mb M12 (Slot C)  
07/10  
The 6KM4-4M12 4-port Copper module provides four 10/100Mb switched  
M12 ports. The 10/100Mb switched ports normally (as a default setting) are  
independently N-way auto-negotiating and auto-crossover (MDIX) for operation at 10 or  
100Mb speed in full- or half-duplex mode. (i.e., each independently selects a mode and  
speed to match the device at the other end of the twisted pair cable).  
(for auto-negotiation and MDIX details, see Section 4.2 in this 6KM User Guide).  
On the model 6KM4-4M12 module, there is one LED for each port. The  
Link/A LED indicates Link “ready for operation” for that port when lit. The A (Activity)  
LED indicates receiving Activity on that port when blinking. A twisted pair cable must  
be connected into an M12 port and the Link 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 Link  
LED to provide valid indications of operating conditions on that port.  
Using the 6K (MNS-6K or MNS-6K-SECURE) management software, the  
user may disable auto-negotiation and fix the desired operation of each M12 port. The  
user may select 10Mb or 100Mb speed and full- or half-duplex mode per-port as per user  
requirements. (See Magnum MNS-6K Software Manual for additional info)  
NOTE: for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI  
advises that, for substation applications, the M12 ports are intended for  
connectivity to other communication equipment such as routers or  
telecommunication multiplexers installed in close proximity (i.e., less than 2  
meters or 6.5ft) to the 6KM. It is not recommended to use these ports in  
substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which  
could produce high (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR)  
during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6KM passes the 1613specifications  
for zero packet loss with fiber ports and with M12 ports used as indicated here.

5.1.3 P6KM4-4M12, 4 x PoE M12 (Slot C)  
07/10  
The 6KM is available with the option of having PoE capabilities on the four  
M12 ports in slot C. This is used in conjunction with 6KMP-48VDC to add an additional  
four PoE ports to the existing four PoE ports in slot A.  
The PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) M12 ports are similar to regular M12 ports,  
except they have the capability of providing power on each port to power up attached PD  
devices, per the IEEE802.3af PoE standard. The power-pass-through PoE ports are  
dependent upon the -48VDC input power to supply the PD power for these M12 (10/100)  
ports. Each port supplies up to 15watts to power attached PoE PD devices.  
The LEDs on the PoE ports are slightly different compared to regular (non-  
PoE) M12 ports. When the PoE port is in use, the PoE LED is ON when connected  
properly to an IEEE 803.af compliant PD device on that port. When non-PoE devices are  
connected, the PoE LED is OFF. Operation of Ethernet data traffic is not affected by  
PoE.  
PoE LEDs Summary  
For PoE devices, each M12 PoE port supports only 802.3af complaint devices.  
The PoE LED is ON when the attached PD is drawing power from the port.  
The power is supplied on the data pairs, per IEEE802.3af PoE standard.  
For non-PoE devices connected, the PoE port will act as a normal M12 port  
and the PoE LED is OFF. No power is sent out from the port.  
The PoE ports in Magnum 6K’s with 48VDC power input act as a pass-  
through, so the 48VDC power input source to the Magnum 6KM must be  
strong enough to provide power to the 6K switch and to all 4-M12 ports with  
PD devices connected (up to 15 watts per PoE port).  
In the case where the 48VDC power in not internally connected to the POE port pins and  
no power is coming to the PoE ports for some reason, all the PoE port LEDs are ON  
simultaneously to indicate a trouble condition. The ports will still operate properly for  
data traffic to non-PoE devices.

5.1.4 6KM4-4MLC, 4 x Multimode LC (Slot C)  
07/10  
The 6KM4-4MLC 4-port Fiber module provides four 100Mb Multimode LC  
Fiber ports.  
The 6KM4-4MLC fiber ports are Small Form Factor (SFF) LC Multimode  
connectors used primarily in 100Mbps fiber-to-the-desktop links. When installed in a  
Magnum 6KM Series Switch, it supports fiber optic cable distances up to the IEEE-  
standard 100Mbps distance limits, i.e., typically 2km at full-duplex and 412m at half-  
duplex.  
The compact size of the LC Connector reduces the size of wiring panels in  
wiring closets while providing the advantage of “future-proof” fiber optic technology.  
The cable end is a “plug-in” connector with both fiber strands terminated in  
one housing that cannot be improperly inserted. Each port has a Link/Activity (L/A)  
LED indicating proper connectivity (Link) with the remote device when lit and blinking  
(Activity), indicating packets being received and Full/Half Duplex (F/H) LED indicating  
Full Duplex (ON) and Half Duplex (OFF).  
5.1.5  
6KM4-4SLC, 6KM4-4SLCL, 4 x Singlemode LC (Slot C)  
The 6KM4-4SLC 4-port Fiber module provides four 100Mb Singlemode LC  
Fiber ports, supporting distances up to 20km. This module provides the same functions as  
the Multimode version (see Section 5.1.4 for more details).  
The 6KM4-4SLCL 4-port Fiber module provides four 100Mb Singlemode LC  
(Long Reach) Fiber ports, supporting distances up to 40km. This module provides the  
same functions as the Multimode version (see Section 5.1.4 for more details).

B2.0 12, 24, –48, 110, 125 and 250VDC POWER, THEORY OF OPERATION  
The 12, 24, -  
48VDC, 110, 125 and  
250VDC power options are  
designed using diodes inside  
on each DC power input line  
behind the two external  
power connection terminals,  
so that the power from an  
external source can only  
flow into the hub. This allows the Switch to operate only whenever DC power is  
correctly 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.  
B3.0  
6KM DC SINGLE SOURCE INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the 12, 24, –48, 110, 125 and  
250VDC to the DC power connector on the Magnum 6KM Switch. The DC input  
connector on the Magnum 6KM Mobile Switch is located on the left front of the unit.  
The power terminals are connected as shown below, and they are electrically floating  
inside the unit so that either may be grounded by the user if desired. The chassis is  
“earth” or ground (GND).  
The mating connection to the 6KM switch is made utilizing a RD24, locking,  
female connector. Simply align the keyed female connector to the 6KM male connector  
and twist the threaded lock to secure.  
Standard 6KM male DC Power Input connector:  
Pin 1= A+  
Pin 2= NC (Not connected)  
Pin 3= NC (Not connected)  
Pin 4= A-

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch Installation and User Guide  
07/10  
C2.0  
MAGNUM 6KM, with DC Dual-Source option  
The 6KM Switch models with the internal -48VDC, 12VDC, 24VDC,  
110VDC, 125VDC and 250VDC Dual-Source power supply are designed for  
installations where a battery plant is the power source, and where two separate power  
sources are utilized in order to increase operational uptime and to simplify maintenance.  
C3.0  
DUAL-SOURCE OPTION, THEORY OF OPERATION  
The Dual-Source DC power option is designed using diodes inside of the  
chassis on each DC power input line. A diode is placed in each of the four input lines  
(behind the four external power  
connection terminals) so that  
power from an external source can  
only flow into the unit. This  
allows the unit to operate  
whenever DC power is correctly  
applied to either or both of the two  
inputs.  
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.

6KM DUAL SOURCE INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the 12, 24, –48, 110, 125 and  
250VDC dual source leads to the power input connector on the Magnum 6KM Switch.  
The DC input connector on the Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch is  
located on the left front of the unit. The power terminals are connected as shown below,  
and they are electrically floating inside the unit so that either may be grounded by the  
user if desired. The chassis is “earth” or ground (GND).  
The mating power cable connection to the 6KM switch is made utilizing a  
RD24, locking, female connector. Simply align the keyed female connector to the 6KM  
male connector and twist the threaded lock to secure.

Standard 6KM (Dual Source) male DC Power Input connector:  
Pin 1= A+  
Pin 2= B+  
Pin 3= B-  
Pin 4= A-  
A= Primary circuit  
B= Secondary circuit  
NOTE: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6KM unit has a floating ground, so  
the user may elect to Ground either + or - terminal to suit the customer’s use.  
Before connecting live power lines to the input connector of –48VDC,  
12VDC, 24VDC, 110VDC, 125VDC or 250VDC products, 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 “+”.  
After confirmation of the output voltage:  
1.  
2.
