2.2.3Eight-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 fullor 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 |

The combo six-port modules are combinations of copper and fiber media, available as four 10/100 switched RJ-45 copper ports and two 100Mb switched multi-mode fiber in either ST, SC, single mode SC or Long Reach SC ports. For port numbering, ports 1,3,5,7 are copper, ports 2 and 6 are fiber, and ports 4 and 8 are not present.
The four RJ-45 ports operate just like the 8-port copper module with auto cross (MDIX) features to eliminate the use of crossover cables. 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 as described for the 6K8-RJ45 in Section 2.2.3 above. The fiber port 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.

more RJ-45 (10/100) ports. Each port requires at least 15watts to power up the PoE PD devices. Maxm. one PoE modules can be configured in the A or B slot of any 6K16s with -48vdc power input. The PoE modules are also available to mix –n-match with fiber modules. Please check the ordering information Sec.1.2 for all the various P6K PoE module options.
The LEDs on 6KP8-RJ45- PoE modules are slightly different compared to regular (non-PoE) RJ-45 modules as shown in Fig 2. When the PoE port is in use, the PoE LED is ON when connected properly to an 803.af compliant PD device on that port. When non-PoE devices are connected, the PoE LED is OFF. PoE does not affect operation of Ethernet data traffic.
LINK and ACTIVITY LEDS are combined on the PoE modules into one LED that is marked as LINK/ACT, as shown in the diagram.

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)
The default setup on the 10Mb fiber module is half-duplex, which allows the Magnum 6K8-Series 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 fiber module is full duplex. User mode-control per port through the MNS “port settings” software is the same as the other 6K8-Series 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).
2.2.7Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules
The Magnum 6K8-Series offers a wide range of optional Gigabit modules and
one or two Gigabit ports can be configured in one modular slot. The Gigabit modules are the two ports GBPMV-2OTX, the 6KP5V-G4RJ (single Gigabit+4 10/100 RJ-45 ports) or the 6KP3V-G2SC (single Gigabit+2 100Mb fiber ports) as shown below in the figure.

1@ 1000Mb Fiber SC + 4@10/ 100Mb |
The 6K82 -Series Modules provide6 a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard GBICs to provide Gigabit media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both multimode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70) km fiber options. Gigabit copper is also available with new models appearing often.
The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K8-Series are normally set (factory default) to operate at AUTO 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 mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber port is by default configured to AUTO mode, and can be fixed at 1000Mbps speed fullduplex mode at any time. The Gigabit fiber port has LEDs that indicate LK (Link status) and ACT (receiving activity) on that port when lit.

2.2.7a GBPM-2OTX (Two Gigabit port option)
The Magnum 6K16-Series offered a wide selection of Gigabit speed with multiple choice of copper or Fiber or mix for the modular slot via GBPM-20TX module. While up to two Gigabit modules (maxm.) can be configured in the modular slot for GBPM-2OTX. The Dual Gigabit port option for the modular slot
come in couple of different configuration to provide a wide option of choice of various Gigabit transceivers covering a long range of distance. The GBPM-2OTX also meets the requirement for those applications where a managed Gigabit media converter is required. The two Gigabit slot can be filled with copper/Fiber or mix as per the application.

2.2.8Packet 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-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.

2.2.9Frame 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-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 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.
