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-
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 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 details)

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.).

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 Magnum Combo
six-port modules are also available
with 4@ MTRJ 100Mb mm SFF
fiber and 2@10Mb fiber mm ST
ports, and with 4@ RJ45 10/100
copper and 2@10Mb fiber mm ST
ports. The 4@ RJ-45 + 2@ 10 Mb ST operation of the SFF fiber
and the RJ-45 half of the module is as described for those port types above. For detailed

2.2.4 Four-Port 10 Mb and 100Mb mm Fiber ST Modules
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).
2.2.6 Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules
The Magnum 6K16V offered a wide option Gigabit speed with multiple choice
for the modular slot. While up to two Gigabit modules (maxm.) can be configured in the
modular slot. The Gigabit port option for the modular slot comes in couple of different
configuration. The two Giga port has been offered as GBPM-2OTX (fiber or RJ-45),
whereas the single Gigabit module comes in flavor of G+4(10/100 RJ-45 ports) or G+2
(100Mb fiber ports) as shown below in the figure.
1@ 1000Mb Fiber SC + 2@ 100Mb SC 1@ 1000Mb Fiber SC + 4@10/ 100Mb
The 6K16V Modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard GBICs
to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both multi-
mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25,40,70)km fiber options, and for Gigabit copper as
well, with new models appearing often.

Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (06/04)
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 mounted on each Gigabit port module. 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
12

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.
Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K16V Switches is a collision-based flow-
control 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.
2.2.8 Managed Network Software ( MNS-6K ) for Magnum 6K16V
Magnum 6K16V’s come with licensed MNS-6K software, which allow to
configure the Magnum 6Ks as a Managed Switch and other Software enabled features.
