two different aspects of Ethernet markets to meet their needs and requirements. 6K16­Series managed switches provide modularity of fiber and copper ports, a mix and
combination of 10Mb, 100Mb and Gigabit speed ports, with comprehensive management
software in a compact industrial-grade package. Setting a new standard for Industrial and
Carrier Class applications, heavy duty Ethernet Switch jobs are readily accommodated
with an extended temperature rating of -40˚C to 60˚C by the UL Component Parts
method, or -50˚C to 95˚C by the IEC 60068 Type Test method. With options such as all
popular DC power input types, worldwide AC power and DIN-Rail mounting, the
hardened Magnum 6K16-Series is a “multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet Switch.

The large family of port modules offer the choice of all fiber media (all
connector types, multi- and single-mode) and 10/100 Mb auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports.
Standard GBIC ports can be configured for a variety of Gigabit cabling types and
distances.

The 6K16- Series managed switches also provides PoE option via power –
inside PoE modules on one of A or B slot and allows the users to select a wide option of
combo PoE modules to support 802.3af pd devices. See details for PoE modules in sec

5.2.10. The Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), and are 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, and
support the 802.3af PoE PSE standard for over-current protection, under-current
detection, and fault protection.

There are three LED’s per fiber port. The Link (LK) LED indicates “ready for
operation” on that port when lit, the F/H LED indicates operation in full-duplex mode
when ON (half-duplex when OFF), and the blinking ACT LED indicates receiving
Activity on the port. A fiber cable must be c onne c ted into a SFF port and the Link (LK)
indicator for that port must be ON (indicating there is a powered-up device at the other
end of the cable) in order for a LK LED to provide valid indications of operating
conditions on that port.

2.2.3 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.

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)

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 auto­negotiation is not disabled).
The FDX/HDX LED is ON
to indicate full-duplex
operation and OFF to indicate
half-duplex mode. A twisted
pair cable must be connected
into an RJ-45 port and the Link (LK) indicator for that port must be ON (indicating there
is a powered-up device at the other end of the cable) in order for a LK LED to provide
valid indications of operating conditions on that port.

Using the 6K16-Series (MNS-6K) management software, the user may disable
auto-negotiation and fix the desired operation of each RJ-45 port. User may select 10Mb
or 100Mb speed and full- or half-duplex mode per-port as per user requirement. (See
Magnum MNS-6K Software Manual for details info.).
