2.2 Product Description - Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch

agnum6K16V Managed Fiber Switches provide modularity of fiber and

copper ports, 10Mb 100Mb and Gigabit speed ports, and 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 6K16V is a “go-anywhere do-anything” Industrial Ethernet Switch.

The large family of port modules offer the choice of all fiber media (all

connector types, multi- and single-mode) and 10/100 Mb auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports.

Standard GBIC ports can be configured for a variety of Gigabit cabling types and

distances.

High performance features

include non-blocking speed on all ports

and 802.1p QoS Traffic Prioritization.

Magnum 6K16Vs are “plug-and-play”

ready for use as backbone switches

where a mix of bursty data traffic and

priority streaming traffic for VoIP and audio/video applications is present.

Magnum 6K16V Fiber Switches are provided with LAN management software

including SNMP, Tag- and Port-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and Port Security,

control via command line interface. For high availability LANs using ring topologies,

Spanning Tree Protocol, Link-Loss-Learn and S-Ring are available. See the Managed

Networks Software (MNS-6K) and S-Ring datasheets for additional details on the

comprehensive set of software programs and options.

Designed for use in transportation and traffic control systems, power utilities,

industrial factory-floor jobs, and video surveillance systems with segments requiring

Gigabit backbone interconnections, the Magnum 6K16V is easy to install and operate.

The next generation of industrial applications will need advanced managed network

software, operation at extended temperatures, fiber ports modularity, support for self-

healing ring structures, and gigabit backbone configurability. The Magnum 6K16V has

www GarrettCom com

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (01/04)

all of these, and is available now.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switches have heavy duty metal cases and

auto-ranging power supplies for operation with standard AC power worldwide. Internal

DC power supplies are optional. All DC power input types (5V, 24V, 48V, 125V) are

supported, and dual source input is optional on all except 5VDC..

There are two Alarm Relay contacts provided on each Magnum 6K16V

Switch to monitor basic operations.. One is for hardware, and will signal loss of power

internally. The other is software controllable and will signal user-defined software events

such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.

The wide variety of port modules are key to the flexibility and adaptability.

The 100Mb fiber eight-port modules for the Magnum 6K16V’s normally are

set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance and

performance. Using the 6K16V’s MNS software, the user may select full- or half-duplex

mode per-port through set-up of the software (See Magnum 6K16V MNS Software

Manual) for the flexibility to adapt to any FDX or HDX type of Fast Ethernet devices).

There are three LED’s per fiber port. The Link (LK) LED indicates “ready for

when ON (half-duplex when OFF), and the blinking ACT LED indicates receiving

Activity on the port. A fiber cable must be connected 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.

2.2.2 Eight-Port Copper Module, 6K8-RJ45

The 6K16V’s 8-

model 6K8-RJ45, provides

eight 10/100Mb switched RJ-

45 ports. The 10/100Mb

On the model 6K8-RJ45 module, there are four LEDs for each port, two in the

connector and two separate. The LK (Link) LED indicates “ready for operation” on that

port when lit. The blinking ACT (Activity) LED indicates receiving Activity on that port

when lit. The 10/100 LED indicates operation at 100Mb speed when ON and at 10 Mb

speed when OFF (when auto-negotiation is not disabled). The FDX/HDX LED is ON to

indicate full-duplex operation and OFF to indicate half-duplex mode. A twisted pair

cable must be connected into an RJ-45 port and the Link (LK) indicator for that port must

be ON (indicating there is a powered-up device at the other end of the cable) in order for

a LK LED to provide valid indications of operating conditions on that port.

Using the 6K16V’s MNS software, the user may disable auto-negotiation and

fix the desired operation of each RJ-45 port. MNS Software set-up may select 10Mb or

100Mb speed and full- or half-duplex mode per-port as per user requirement. (See

Magnum 6K16V MNS Software Manual for details info.).

4@ RJ-45 + 2@ 100Mb SC

The four RJ-45 ports operate just like the 8-port copper module, and the two fiber ports

operate at 100Mbps full-duplex (default). User mode control per port through the MNS

software is also the same.

On Magnum “4+2” Combo modules, there are four LED’s for each RJ-45 port,

which indicate status the same as described for the 6K8-RJ45 in Section 2.2.3 above. The

fiber port’s LEDs indicate status the same way as described for the SFF fiber modules in

Section 2.2.2 above. Color-coding on the panel of the module shows which LEDs

belong to which port.

The 4-port @10Mb ST fiber modules behave the same as the 4@100Mb ST

fiber modules except for the 10Mb speed. For ports numbering, ports 1, 2, 5, 6 are

present, ports 3, 4. 7, 8 are not present. There is also a similar 100Mb fiber SC module.

The default setup on the 10Mb fiber module is half-duplex, which allows the

Magnum 6K16V Switch to connect to any 10Mb hub or media converter or almost any

other device with a 10Mb fiber Ethernet port. The default setting of the 100Mb module is

full duplex. User mode-control per port through the MNS “port settings” software is the

same as the other 6K16V modules.

The fiber ports support fiber cabling distances according to the 10BASE-FL

and 100BASE-FX standards, i.e., 2km distance for multi-mode fiber. (Single-mode for

up to greater distance may be available as a special order, request quote).

2.2.5 Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules

The Magnum 6K16V can be configured

for Gigabit speed. Both slots may be Gigabit, and

modules for one or two Gb ports per slot are available The 6K16V Modules provide a

GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard GBICs to provide Gb media flexibility.

GBIC models are available for both multi-mode and single-mode fiber connections, and

for Gb copper as well, with new models appearing in the marketplace often. The

1000Mbps RJ-45 module are compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit standard

The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K16V are normally

set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance and

performance. The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX

transceivers are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards.

There are two LEDs for each Gigabit port. The Gigabit fiber port is fixed at

1000Mbps speed full-duplex mode at all times and has LEDs that indicate LK (Link

status) and ACT (receiving activity) on that port when lit.

2.2.6 Packet Prioritization, 802.1p QOS

Quality of Service means providing consistent predictable data delivery to

users from datagram paths that go all across a network. As a LAN device, the Magnum

6K16V can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet

traffic through its ports and buffers.

The Magnum 6K16V switching hardware supports the IEEE 802.1p standard

and fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority to priority tagged

packets according to the 802.1p standard. In addition to hardware support for QOS, the

MNS software (R2) supports two priority queues that can be shared across the eight

levels of defined packet priorities for application-specific priority control by the user

through software configuration settings.

2.2.7 Frame Buffering and Flow Control

Magnum 6K16V’s are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or packet) is

loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur. This

technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct

CRC, i.e., are good packets. This eliminates the propagation of bad packets, enabling all

of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.

While other switching technologies (such as "cut-through" or

"express") impose minimal frame latency, they will also permit bad frames to propagate

out to the Ethernet segments connected. The "cut-through" technique permits collision

fragment frames (which are a result of late collisions) to be forwarded which add to the

network traffic. Since there is no way to filter frames with a bad CRC (the entire frame

must be present in order for CRC to be calculated), the result of indiscriminate cut-

through forwarding is greater traffic congestion, especially at peak activity. Since

collisions and bad packets are more likely when traffic is heavy, the result of store-and-

forward operation is that more bandwidth is available for good packets when the traffic

load is greatest.

When the Magnum 6K16V Switch detects that its free buffer queue space is

low, the Switch sends industry standard (full-duplex only) PAUSE packets out to the

devices sending packets to cause “flow control”. This tells the sending devices to

temporarily stop sending traffic, which allows a traffic catch-up to occur without

dropping packets. Then, normal packet buffering and processing resumes. This flow-

control sequence occurs in a small fraction of a second and is transparent to an observer.
