2.2 Product Description  
Combine a 10 or 100 Mb Fiber Media Converter and a two-port 10/100 copper  
Switch, and you have the Converter Switch, a flexible edge-of-the-network Ethernet  
product. Add in fiber port choices for all multi-mode and single-mode fiber connector  
types plus AC or DC input power selection and multiple application environments, and you  
have the Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Converter Switch family.  
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 family of Converter Switches with a 100 Mb or  
10Mb Fiber port built in covers the full range of application environments, with regular  
(office), Hardened (factory floor), and Premium-rated (outdoor) versions. Extra features for

heavy-duty and extended temperature operation ranges are included selectively in the  
Hardened factory-floor and Premium-rated outdoor models. This selection of models and  
fiber port types offers the best price-to-value ratio for each user and installation. Where a  
Media Converter might have been used, a Converter Switch offers a better value. The  
compact package is ideal for network edge installations, and is able to be conveniently  
mounted to suit any application.  
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 regular-package units are for office and indoor  
wiring closet environments. These are the economical base units in the CS14 and CSN14  
Switch family. An external AC power supply for either North America (-d, 115vac 60Hz)  
or international (-I, 230vac, 50Hz) is included. The ambient temperature rating is 0°C to  
40°C, office grade. A robust metal case with convection cooling is featured. Metal  
mounting clips are included, and rack-mount tray options are available.

CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches  
Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
The Magnum CS14H and CSN14H Hardened units are for factory floor  
applications. The CS14H and CSN14H models are built with high-grade components and  
are constructed using special thermal techniques and a metal case for heavy duty industrial  
jobs. In addition to a Hardened AC power option and jack, terminals for internal DC power  
choices at 8 to15V, 24V or -48V DC are included. The ambient temperature rating of –25  
to 60C is for industrial use. No internal air flow is required for cooling, so it resists dust,  
dirt, moisture, smoke and insects. Mounting options include stand-alone panel-mounting,  
DIN-Rail, or rack-mount tray.  
The Magnum CS14P and CSN14P Premium-rated units are for temperature un-  
controlled applications (-40 to 75C), typically located outdoors. The CS14P and CSN14P  
models are built with premium-grade extended temperature components, and use similar  
thermal techniques as the CS14H Hardened units. In addition to a Premium-rated AC

CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches  
Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
The front side of the unit has two twisted-pair 10/100Mb switch ports and one 10 or 100Mb  
fiber port. Both the RJ-45 ports of the CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter switches support  
auto-cross (MDIX) operation performing the auto-cross function under auto-negotiation  
mode only. The 10Mb fiber (CSN14 models) are factory configured at Half-duplex, and  
100Mb (CS14 models) are factory configured at Full-Duplex.  
Two sets of LEDs to indicating the operating status of ports are mounted on the  
top and front (for extra viewing advantage while rack-mounted). For each port, there are  
Link and Activity (LK/ACT) LED’s on the top indicating that the media cables are  
connected correctly and showing, by blinking, when there is traffic. The LK/ACT LED’s  
are repeated on the front as LA1 (port 1), LA2 (port 2), and LA3 (port 3). There is a power  
(PWR) indicator on the front of the unit to validate that the unit is turned ON.  
The single fiber port on the CSN14’s is multi-mode with an ST connector and ,  
on the CS14’s, it is an SC, ST or small form-factor connector (MTRJ multi mode or LC

single-mode). The Full Duplex/Half Duplex (“F- H”) manual switch provided underneath  
the fiber port allows the user to fix the fiber port at Full or Half Duplex mode as required.  
The external DC power plug connector and/or “jack” and the internal DC input  
terminal is provided on the rear of the unit.  
2.3 Frame Buffering and Latency  
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches 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. they are good packets. This eliminates propagation of  
bad packets, enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.

CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches  
Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
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 to 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.  
To minimize the possibility of dropping frames on congested ports, each  
Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switch dynamically allocates buffer space  
from 128Kb memory pool, ensuring that heavily used ports receive very large buffer space  
for packet storage. (Many other switches have their packet buffer storage space divided

evenly across all ports, resulting in a small, fixed number of packets to be stored per port.  
When the port buffer fills up, dropped packets result.) This dynamic buffer allocation  
provides the capability for the maximum resources of the Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series  
unit to be applied to all traffic loads, even when the traffic activity is unbalanced across the  
ports. Since the traffic on an operating network is constantly varying in packet density per  
port and in aggregate density, the Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches are  
constantly adapting internally to provide maximum network performance with the least  
dropped packets.  
When the 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. See Section 4.6 for additional details.

CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches  
Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
Another feature implemented in Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter  
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 latency (the time the frame spends in the Switch before it is sent along or  
forwarded to its destination) of the CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches varies with  
the port-speed types. The length of the frame is a variable as it is with all store-and-  
forward switches. For 10 Mb-to-10 Mb or 10 Mb-to-100Mb or 100Mb-to-10 Mb  
forwarding, the latency is 15 microseconds plus the packet time at 10 Mb. For 100Mb-to-  
100Mb forwarding, the latency is 5 microseconds plus the packet time at 100Mb.

CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches  
Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
In this example, the Magnum CS14P or CSN14P premium Converter Switches are  
deployed to serve as a secure corporate or transportation surveillance system. CCTV  
cameras may be spread out over many miles in temperature un-controlled locations and  
with pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) controlled through an Ethernet copper port .The premium  
Converter Switches are ideally suited to providing copper to fiber media conversion for  
secure long distance (2-40km) communication while being installed in temperature un-  
controlled cabinets and allowing a full range of AC and DC power options. The second  
copper port at the remote location provides access for other Ethernet equipment such as  
motion detectors or will act as a test port for maintenance personnel with up-link for access  
to a central LAN and central file servers.

3.8.1 Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, CAT 3 or CAT 5, Unshielded or  
Shielded)  
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 a 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. If this  
does not help, ensure that the cable is connected properly and that the device on the  
other end is powered and is not defective.  
4. For Port # 1 or 1SW, if the LINK LED is not illuminated, move the switch which  
has a cross-over or up-link for linking to another hub or Switch.

3.8.2 Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”  
The following procedure applies to installations using ST-type fiber connectors.  
This procedure applies to ports using multi-mode ST fiber connectors.  
1. Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the  
tips of the fiber connectors. 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 Fiber port 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) 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 fiber connector 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 fiber connector to remedy this situation.  
Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"  
The following procedure applies to installations using SC-type fiber connectors,  
i.e., using multi-mode SC and SC single-mode. While connecting fiber media to  
SC connectors, simply snap on the two square male connectors into the SC  
female jacks of the Fiber connector until it clicks and secures.  
3.8.3  
3.8.4  
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, about 20Km with the multi-mode SC.  
The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber apply to single-mode fiber  
connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.8.2 above.

3.8.5 Power Budget Calculations for CS14 and CSN14 Series, 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  
The following data has been collected from component manufacturer’s (HP’s, and  
Siemens’) web sites and catalogs to provide guidance to network designers and installers

Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
* Note: The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed  
over long distances (i.e., over 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, 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)  
Connections to NICs which support Auto-Negotiation, RJ-45 ports  
The copper ports of Magnum CS14-Sereis Converter Switches will function  
3.8.6  
properly with NICs (Network Interface Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the  
Fast Link Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a  
NIC to the CS14-Series, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if  
the NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as  
10BASE-T). When 100Mb operation is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is illuminated

Installation and User Guide (02/06)  
4.1 Dual-Speed Functionality, and Switching  
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches provide four  
switched ports (three ports in the front and one on the rear). The architecture supports a  
dual speed switching environment, with standard auto-negotiation capability.  
The switched RJ-45 ports are full- or half-duplex auto-sensing for mode and  
speed, and auto-cross for plug polarity. (See Section 2.2). When the connected device is 10  
Mbps, the CS14s obeys all the rules of 10 Mbps Ethernet configurations. The 10 Mbps  
users can “communicate” with 100Mbps users as well as other 10 Mbps users through the  
switch. Similarly, the 100Mbps traffic obeys the rules of 100Mbps Ethernet, and can  
communicate with 10 Mb and 100Mb users.  
Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series units are plug-and-play devices. There is no  
software configuring to be done at installation or for maintenance. The only hardware

configuration settings is user options for port #2, to configure it FF/AN. The internal  
functions of both are described below.  
Switching, 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 on  
the same port segment will be filtered, constraining them to one port and relieving the rest  
of the network from processing 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. Packets needed for maintaining the operation of the network  
(such as occasional multi-cast packets) are forwarded to all ports. The Magnum CS14 and  
CSN14 Series Converter 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.  
Switching, Address Learning  
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series units have address table capacity of 2K  
node addresses, and are suitable for use in large networks. They are self-learning, so that as  
nodes are added or removed or moved from one segment to another, the CS14- and CSN14-  
Series switch automatically keeps up with node locations.  
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of new  
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.  
4.2 Auto-cross (MDIX), Auto-negotiation and Speed-sensing  
The RJ-45 ports support auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in the auto-negotiation  
mode according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. No crossover cables are needed when  
connecting the CS14’s to other unmanaged switches, legacy hubs, managed switches,

media-converters etc. Please note that there can be conditions with managed switches  
where the switch manager fixes the port settings via software, and the result of the  
auto-negotiation is changed in the managed switch by the manager commands. In such  
cases, the 10/100 speed or the F/H mode may be affected, but auto-cross in the CS14  
Switches will still work. The auto-cross function cannot be disabled.  
When an RJ-45 cable connection is made, and each time LINK is enabled,  
auto-negotiation takes place (except for legacy products, which do not have auto-  
negotiation and which go to the default state accordingly). The Magnum Switch  
advertises its capability for 10 or 100 Mbps speed and F/H duplex mode, and the device  
at the other end of the cable should similarly advertise / respond. Both sides will agree  
to the speed and mode to be used per the IEEE 802.3u standard. Depending upon the  
devices connected, this will result in agreement to operate at either 10 Mbps or  
100Mbps speed, and full- or half-duplex mode.  
4.3 (F- H) Switch, Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex options for Fiber port# 1  
The (F–H) manual switch has been provided for fiber port #1, for fixing that  
port at Full or Half Duplex as per the requirements. The (F-H) manual switch is being

and the 100Mb being set at Full-Duplex as default from the factory. The port can be set at  
the required mode, by sliding the manual switch position to “F” or “H”.
