Eight-Port Copper Module, 6K8-RJ45
The 6K8-Series’s 8-port Copper port module, model 6K8-RJ45, provides eight
10/100Mb switched RJ-45 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.
(See Section 4.3 for auto-negotiation and MDIX details). The auto-crossover feature will
automatically determine the other side of connection to make the connection, and
eliminate the need of cross-over cable.
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

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
6K8-Series can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet
traffic through its ports and buffers.

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch
Installation and User Guide 03/06)
The Magnum 6K8-Series 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 (Rel3) 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.
2.2.8
Frame Buffering and Flow Control
Magnum 6K8-Series’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
load is greatest.
When the Magnum 6K8-Series 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 fraction of a second and is transparent to an observer.
Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K8-Series 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. The flow control option is user configurable (enable/disable) through the setport
command of MSN-6K software as per the requirement of a network.

Applications
Magnum 6K8-Series Fiber Switches offer high performance, modularity and
higher availability to provide an effective solution for Industrial Ethernet needs. They
provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as single or dual
Gigabit(1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard MNS-6K software. Magnum 6K8-Series
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 for a diversified combination of mixed media for
monitoring and signaling in Industrial floor applications. The performance characteristic
of the 6K8-Series Switches enable them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet
per 6K8-Series Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet connections may be via
fiber or twisted pair cabling, 1000Mbps, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and full-or half-
duplex.
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.
Example 1 : Magnum 6K8-Series Switch for a Industrial application
Equipped with lots of useful features such as a hardened Industrial enclosure, a
wide spread of AC/DC power supply options, extended temperature rating and secured
management features qualifies the Magnum 6K8-Series Managed switch for any
Industrial factory-floors, traffic control, transportations systems, monitoring and
signaling and power utilities applications. The bundle of MNS-6K software operated
features diversifies this managed switch to operate and perform securely and reliably in
all critical applications. The addition of the S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn software feature
allows this Managed switch to provide a very reliable 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 and equipped with PLC computers to take readings
and data from M/C Client/ Server databases and transport this important data to the
central office data warehouses the Managed 6K8-Series shines. The Managed 6K8-
Series’s modularity along with MNS-6K management software features handle these
kinds of networks very securely and reliably through out the Factory-floors. The DIN-
Rail Mounting options on the Magnum 6K8-, allow the Industrial Factory floor user to

The option for setting the ports at 10 or 100Mb on copper, and supporting the
10 or 100Mb fiber media, provide widespread options to the users to mix and match their
legacy and advance network needs. The modularity of the 6K8-Series Industrial Field
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 6K8-Series
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, 24V/125VDC power supply options, and IP53
approval qualifies this managed 6K8-Series switch for use in temp. un-controlled
network floors and many others temp sensitive critical Industrial applications where
above normal room temp. is present in the room the network operates. Full-duplex future
proof fiber media can easily connect long distance subnets and provide a stable secure
network to all applications. The SNMP, QOS management capability of the Magnum
6K8-Series Switch helps create a database of all the network subnets to easily manage
the network and prioritize the sensitive and useful data. The Relay contact for the Alarms
feature operated through software and hardware provides extra reliability to monitor the
switch operation or any power failure.

Example 2. In another outdoor Ethernet Traffic monitoring application, a managed
network is needed to provide a Redundant ring topology for a maximum redundant
network. This is needed where any faulty cable, cable disconnection or power failure in
a ring switch needs to be reconfigured in milliseconds . The ring topology of the network
consists of high speed LAN segments supported by 100Mbps full-duplex future-proof
fiber media to provide secure long distance LAN connections. The entire network is
sharing a higher bandwidth of multicast packets used for secure camera monitoring and
data-mining for the vital database located in a controlled center secured building. The
entire spread network will be manageable to provide easy, detectable, uninterrupted
support through a viewable SNMP monitor.

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch
Installation and User Guide 03/06)
Example 3: In another example, a large Power Substation (Electric and Gas) needs a
Secure Ethernet LAN network to collect, monitor and provide a simplified
communications backbone for local and remote control of real-time operational and fault
analysis data. The Ethernet backbone should pass the information of SCADA local
monitoring and control via a HMI. The heart of the system evolves around several
communications processors.
The Hardened enclosed 6K8-125VDC Industrial field switch with IEEE 1613
and IEC61850 approved for power stations is equipped with its modularity, secured
management features, un-controlled temp ratings along with a hardware/software
controlled Alarm Relay which easily qualifies it to provide all the requirements of
substations.
The successful track record of previous members of the 6K-family in sub-
stations also adds another example of success for this product to deploy in sub-station
environments. The combination of 6K25 as the back bone and 6K8 at the edge provides a
seamless secure solution which can easily monitor real-time operations. Enriched with
Fiber and copper options make this switch ready to provide this solution and also control
any emission noises via a fiber approach.

Installation and User Guide 03/06)
For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters)
of the intended Magnum 6K8-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K8-
Series 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 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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, 802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are
as follows:

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 6K8-Series 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.
While connecting fiber media to SC connectors, simply snap the two square male
connectors into the SC female jacks of the 6KPM module 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 6K8-Series 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).

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.
4. The auto-cross(Auto-MDIX) feature will eliminate the use of crossover cable, while
connecting the RJ-45 ports to any other RJ-45 device.
3.2.5
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5E or better, Unshielded or
Shielded)
The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K8-Series 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).

floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit. The
Magnum 6K8 requires two DIN-Rail mounting clips or latches for secure mounting, and
these may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-6K8. See a 6K8 viewed from the rear, at
right, with model DIN-RAIL-6K8 in place on the unit.
The Din Rail Latching clips are mounted on the
upper rear corners of the 6K8 unit. Two threaded
holes are provided on the sides of 6K8 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 as if that they can be manually accessed from the top when the 6K8
is installed on a DIN Rail.
To install the 6K8 with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold the
6K8 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 6K8 inwards to a vertical position. The
DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy duty, and will hold the 6K8 securely in position,
even with cabling attached to the unit.
To release the 6K8 from the DIN-Rail mounting, press the top of the two DIN-
Rail latches down simultaneously to release the 6K8 so that it can be dismounted by
pulling the bottom out. Once the bottom of the 6K8 is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch is
not engaged and the 6K8 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 6K8. It
shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6K8 on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection
cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6K8 unit is held out
from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets. The 6K8 design uses the case for
cooling (patent pending), and needs to be mounted vertically with air flow space in the
front, rear, and sides.

Mounting Dimensions for 6K8 with metal brackets
Each Mangum 6K8 is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to
mount the unit securely. It is recommended to mount the 6K8 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..
Note that the back of the 6K8 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 6K8 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
into the supporting wall or panel is a rectangle 11.89” x 7.85” center-to-center.
3.4
Powering the Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch
The Magnum 6K8-Series 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
to the unit.
Power supply options are available to suit the 6K8-Series Switches to special

3.5 Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps
The Alarm Contacts feature, standard on Magnum 6K8-Series’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 6K8-
’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 6K8- 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
6K8-. This provides a “Hardware Alarm” because the NC
contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an
Relay Contacts
external power down condition or by the failure of the power
supply inside of the Magnum 6K8- 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 needs to be enabled 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 Contact is on the front left area (next to the DC power source) of
the Magnum 6K8-Series unit and is green in color as shown in the picture.

referred to as “6KPMV” for convenience in describing port module installation.
Magnum 6K8-Series Switches are normally received from the factory with all
required 6KPMV modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPMV cards need
to be added or replaced. In cases where additional 6KPMV cards are needed, the
faceplate for an available front-mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure
describes this operation. The pictorial view of the hardware assembly can be seen here-
3.6.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMVs from 6K8’s
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 6KPMV Card package has all necessary accessories and use the
proper tool to install it properly. Each 6KPMV Card package, for field
installation contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board
(smaller), three 5/8 stand offs for Granddaughter board, 6 standoff for daughter
Board, nine #4-40x3/8 Pan-Head screws along with Front panel face plate
package.
NOTE: Every 6KPMV Card package comes with their matching Daughter and
Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPMV card should not work properly if mixed
with other Fiber combo 6KPMV 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! Leave it at factory default.

OPERATION
This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K8-Series
Switch.
4.1
Switching Functionality
A Magnum 6K8-Series provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed
among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth
on any other port.
Magnum 6K8-Series 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 un-
interrupted operation of the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) are
forwarded to all ports.
The Magnum 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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
Auto-Cross(MDIX) and Auto-negotiation, for RJ-45 ports
The RJ-45 ports independently support auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in
auto-negotiation mode and will work properly with all the other connected devices
with RJ-45 port whether it supports Auto-negotiation or not (e.g 10Mb Hub, media
converter) or fixed mode at 10Mb or 100Mb Half/Full Duplex(managed switch). No
cross-over cable is required while using the 6K8’s copper port to other devices.
Operation is according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.
The Managed 6K8-Series 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 (10.1 at
page no.52) of this manual to access the “6K-MNS(Rel 3) Software user guide”
One frequently-used application for the Managed Magnum 6K8-Series 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

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch
Installation and User Guide 03/06)
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 6K8-
Series 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.
When Magnum 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series’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 6K8-Series
Fast Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.

4.4
Flow-control, IEEE 802.3x Standard
Magnum 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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. The flow control option may
(enable/disable) through setport command of MSN-6K software as per the requirement of
network. By default the Flow control is disabled.
4.5
Power Budget Calculations for Magnum 6K8-Series 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 (Mm) 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)

* 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)

6KPMV Module Description
5.2
An important feature of the Magnum 6K8-Series is the use of Port Modules for
flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum
6K8-Series Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 2, 4, 6 or
8-port interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10
or 100 or 1000Mps speed. Each 6K8-Series PM provides a wide selection of
connecting Ethernet media segments with all similar or combo connector type.
Note: The 6K8V Port modules are exactly similar in the functions, size and price,
compared to 6K8- but addressed as e.g 6KP8V-RJ45 . For a correct list of
6K8 Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2
Each 6K8-Series PM is individually described in the following sections.
NOTE: The 10/100 RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all RJ-45 ports or
used for COMBO module are featured with Auto-negotiation and Auto-Cross
(MDIX).

TROUBLESHOOTING
All Magnum Ethernet products are designed to provide reliability and
consistently high performance in all network environments. The installation of a
Magnum 6K8-Series Switch is a straightforward procedure (see INSTALLATION,
Section 2.6); the operation is also straightforward and is discussed in Section 4.
Should problems develop during installation or operation, this section is
intended to help locate, identify and correct these types of problems. Please follow the
suggestions listed below prior to contacting your supplier. However, if you are unsure of
the procedures described in this section or if the Magnum 6K8-Series Switch is not
performing as expected, do not attempt to repair the unit; instead contact your supplier
for assistance or contact GarrettCom Customer Support.
6.1
Before Calling for Assistance
1.
If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the unit, refer back to
the Installation Section of the applicable chapter of this manual. Also check
to make sure that the various components of the network are interoperable.
2.
3.
4.
Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly
connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way
impaired during installation. (About 90% of network downtime can be
attributed to wiring and connector problems.)
Make sure that an AC power cord is properly attached to each Magnum 6K8-
Series Switch unit. Be certain that each AC power cord is plugged into a
functioning electrical outlet. Use the PWR LEDs to verify each unit is
receiving power.
If the problem is isolated to a network device other than the Magnum 6K8-
Series Switch product, it is recommended that the problem device be replaced
with a known good device. Verify whether or not the problem is corrected. If
not, go to Step 5 below. If the problem is corrected, the Magnum 6K8-Series
Switch and its associated cables are functioning properly.
5.
If the problem continues after completing Step 4 above, contact your supplier
of the Magnum 6K8-Series Switch unit or if unknown, contact GarrettCom,

125VDC 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 switch. 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.
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.

The –48VDC solution is particularly useful inthe 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.

6K8-SERIES, -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 6K8-
Series Switch. The DC terminal block on the Magnum 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series 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 “+”.

of the chassis on each DC power input
line. A diode is placed in each of the
four input lines (behind the four

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.
