heavy duty Carrier class and Industrial applications that require high port density and
secure devices which save in cost, rack space and run cool to provide long term
reliability. This rack mountable managed switch comes with a wide variety of AC/DC
options to deliver effective and efficient solutions tailored to specific industrial
applications.
The fan-cooled 6K32F/FR Series have the same four modular configurable
slots as the 6K32FC/FRC models and offer the same flexibility of configuration. (see
above).
Figure 2.2.1b: 6K32F front view, configured for 2 RJ-45 Gigabit ports, 4 ST 100Mb
FX ports, 8 MTRJ 100Mb FX ports and 8 LC 100Mb FX ports
The modular option with four slots exemplifies this managed switch’s extra
capability to meet any 10, 100 or Gigabit requirement effectively, satisfying almost any
demand for complex Ethernet networks. The bandwidth demand of Triple Play “voice-
data-video” over Ethernet will be handled efficiently.
The growing demand of security and “Ease of use” are the other adding
features of this managed switch. The switch allows the users to secure their network
through port security, Radius X, Tacacs+ and Snmpv3 and provide an effective solution
of ease of use through “Secure Web based management and scripts feature to manage the
6K32F switch remotely”. The 6K32F loaded with robust MNS-6K firmware is specially

2.2.2 Eight-port SFF fiber modules (6KP8-MTRJ, 6KP8-MLC),
100Mb fiber
Fig.2.2.2 : SFF Fiber Port Modules, 6KP8-MTRJ (left) and
6KP8-MLC or -SLC (right)
In an eight-port SFF fiber port module, all of the fiber ports are of the same
speed (100Mb), mode, and connector type. Models that are available with Small Form
Factor (SFF) are multi-mode MT-RJ or LC-type connectors, and single-mode LC-type
connectors.
The 100Mb fiber eight-port modules for the Magnum 6K32F Series normally
are set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance and
performance. Using the 6K32F Series MNS software, the user may select full- or half-
duplex mode per-port through the set-up of the software (See the Magnum MNS-6K
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
operation” on that port when lit, the F/H LED indicates operation in full-duplex mode
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.
2.2.3 Eight-Port Copper Module, 6KP8-RJ45 (MDIX)
The 6K-Series 8-port Copper port
module, model 6KP8-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 the connection to make the connection, and
eliminate the need of a cross-over cable.
On the model 6KP8-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 6K8-Series (MNS-6K) management software, the user may disable
auto-negotiation and fix the desired operation of each RJ-45 port. User may select 10Mb
or 100Mb speed and full- or half-duplex mode per-port as per user requirement. (See
Magnum MNS-6K Software Manual for details info.).
