2.0 INTRODUCTION
This section describes CS14- and CSN14-Series models, including appearance,
features and typical applications.
2.1 Inspecting the Package and the Product
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to installing this
product; notify the carrier immediately of any damage which you believe occurred during
shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs of damage and

![](/html/2b/2b19/2b19cf20eb6f009455ccf15b922e84190b2ed2b37c77eaf5af28eaaaff06f481/bg16.png)
CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches Installation and User Guide (02/06)
Remove the Magnum CS14 or CSN14 Series Converter Switch from the shipping
container. Be sure to keep the shipping container should you need to ship the unit 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. Refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting, for
specific return procedures.
2.2 Pr oduc t 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

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.
