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 crossover 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

2.2.8 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.

The Magnum 6K8-Series switching hardware supports the IEEE 802.1p standard and fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority-topriority 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.

Page 23

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)

2.2.9 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 cutthrough 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-andforward 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 flowcontrol 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 flowcontrol 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.

2.4 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 halfduplex.

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 an 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 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 substations also adds another example of success for this product to deploy in sub-station environments. The combination of 6K25 as the backbone 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.

3.1 Locating Magnum 6K8-Series Switches

For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.4. For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3. For DC power options, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C. 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 6K8Series 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 that 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:

3.2.1 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, MSTtype 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

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.

, "Snap-In"

3.2.3 Connecting Single-Mode

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

www GarrettCom com

Fiber Optic

Page 33

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) 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).

Twisted Pair (CAT 3, 4, 5) 10BASE-T RJ-45 Twisted Pair (CAT 5) 100BASE-TX RJ-45

NOTE: It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mb

and 100Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a

mixed-speed network, since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for either 10 or

100Mb/s.

The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASETX 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 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.

www GarrettCom com

Page 34

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)

NOTE: for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI advises that, for substation applications, the RJ-45 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 6KQ. It is not recommended to use these ports in substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which could produce kigh (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR) during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6KQ passes the 1613specifications for zero packet loss with fiber ports & with RJ45 ports used as indicated here.

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).

mixed-speed network.

The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 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. 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

3.3 DIN-Rail Mounting

The Magnum 6K8 is designed for use in a “factory floor” industrial

environment. It is available with optional DIN-Rail brackets to mount it securely in a metal factory 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 DINRail 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 DINRail 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 DINRail 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.

www GarrettCom com

Page 36

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) 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 airflow space in the front, rear, and sides.

Fig 3.3 - Magnum 6K8 mounted vertically with DIN-Rail brackets and latches

The DIN-Rail mounting brackets and latches are optional and need to be ordered

as separate items, e.g. Model # DIN-RAIL-6K8

3.3.2 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.

www GarrettCom com

Page 39

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)

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

www GarrettCom com

Page 40

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) 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 high-availability communications and/or heavy industrial-grade applications, including: * -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with single DC input, * -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with dual-source DC input, See the Appendices B & C of this manual for more details. Use an RFQ for other variations.

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 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.

3.6 6K8-Series Port Module (6KPMV) Installation

Note: The modules used in the 6K8-Series vertical mount unit are similar to those used in 6K16V units. The modules have the letter “V” in the model numbers, to order the right module for this unit. In the Port Module materials below, all modules are 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-

4.0 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 Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)

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 uninterrupted operation of the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) is 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 crossover 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 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 6K8Series 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

www GarrettCom com

Page 51

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) 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 autonegotiation 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 speeds, 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

www GarrettCom com

Page 52

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) attempting to transmit to one 100Mb port, and in other protracted heavy traffic situations.

Magnum 6K8-Series Switches implement the 802.3x flow control (nonblocking) 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 backpressure 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) = P where P 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 50/125 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

= Transmitter Output Power, and PR = Receiver Sensitivity

(min) - PR (min)

m

(Mm) is 2.8 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)

The following data has been collected from component manufacturer’s (Agilent’s and Lucent’s) web sites and catalogs to provide guidance to network designers and installers.

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

This section applies only to PMs shipped as separate items, i.e., if 6K8 PMs not factory installed in a Magnum 6K8 PM slot.

Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to

installing a 6K8 PM; notify the carrier of any damage you believe occurred during shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs of damage and ensure that the items listed below are included.

This package should contain:

1 6K8-Series (6K8- series KPMVs) Installation instructions, with illustrations

Remove the 6K8-Series PM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure

to keep the shipping container should you need to ship any of the PMs separately at a later date. In the event there are items missing or damaged, contact your supplier. If you need to return the unit, use the original shipping container if possible. Refer to Chapter 5 for specific return procedures.

5.2 6KPMV Module Description

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).

5.2.5a 6KP6-MT10ST, 4 @100Mb multi-mode FX, MTRJ Small-Form-

Factor and 2@ 10Mb Multi-mode ST-Fiber port

The 6KP6-RJ10ST is a combo module with two different kinds of fiber flavor with two different speeds. The top four ports of MTRJ Small form factor fiber support at 100Mb full duplex, whereas the bottom two ports multi-mode ST-Fiber support 10Mb half-duplex. This combo module provides more flexibility to the user to connect their legacy 10Mbfiber as well as 100Mb to the Magnum 6K8-Series Switch.

When installed in a Magnum 6K8-Series Switch, the 100Mb MTRJ connector 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. The10Mb Multi-mode STFiber connector supports the standard fiber optic distance limit of 2Km at full and half duplex both.

The 6KP8RJ45 module supports Ethernet twisted pair segments of any standard length. It is equipped with an eight-port RJ-45 connector, and offers 10/100 full / half-duplex auto-negotiating capability on each port. The RJ-45 connector is shielded to minimize emissions and will allow both unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted pair (STP) cable connections. The 6KP8-RJ45 modules are equipped with a Media Dependent Auto-Crossover (MDI-X) switch, which controls all ports for cascaded connection. This feature eliminates the need for a special twisted pair crossover cable when connecting to a hub or another switch.

Important Note: The 10/100 RJ-45 ports are supported with Auto-negotiation and Auto-crossover (MDIX), which allow the RJ-45 ports to automatically Link with any RJ45 device and eliminate the use of crossover cable.

NOTE: for Power Substations

: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI

advises that, for substation applications, the RJ-45 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 6KQ. It is not recommended to use these ports in

substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which

could produce kigh (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR)

during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6KQ passes the 1613specifications

for zero packet loss with fiber ports & with RJ45 ports used as indicated here.

providing power on each port to power up the PD devices, per the IEEE802.3af PoE standard. The Power Pass-through PoE modules are totally dependent upon the powerful -48VDC input power supply to support more RJ-45 (10/100) ports. Each port requires at least 15watts to power up the PoE PD devices. In this Fig. the top 8-RJ45 ports are enhanced with POE option The 8-RJ45 POE modules are also available with mix –n-match with fiber modules. Please check the ordering information Sec.1.2 for all the various P6K PoE modules option.

LINK and ACTIVITY LEDS are combined on the PoE modules into one LED that is marked as LINK/ACT, as shown in the diagram.

PoE LEDs Summary

 For PoE devices, each RJ-45 PoE port supports only 802.3af complaint

devices. The PoE LED is ON when the attached PD is drawing power from the

port.

 For non-PoE devices connected, the PoE port will act as a normal RJ-45 port

and the PoE LED is OFF. No power is being 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 source must be strong enough to provide power

to the 6K switch and to all the 8 RJ-45 ports with PD devices connected (up to

15 watts per PoE port).

www GarrettCom com

Page 64

 In the case where the 48VDC power in not internally connected 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.

The 6K8-Series-Switch models w

ith the internal -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC 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.

The functionality of the Magnum 6K8-Series Switch -48VDC, 24VDC and

125VDC Dual-Source Option units is identical to the standard AC-powered models Refer to the main sections of this Installation and User Gu of the Ma
