Magnum 6KL Managed Edge Switch Installation and User Guide 11/09 INTRODUCTION Inspecting the Package and Product Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to installing this product; notify the carrier of any damage that you believe occurred during shipment or delivery.
Designed for use in industrial applications such as factory floors and control cabinets, industrial video surveillance systems with PoE, power utility substations, tariffed carrier field facilities, or transportation and oil and gas, the rugged Magnum 6KL handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic) as well as harsh environmental conditions.
High performance features include non-blocking unicast traffic speed on all ports and 802.1p QoS Traffic Prioritization. Magnum 6KL switches are “plug-and-play” and are designed for use in connecting edge devices such as PLCs, IEDs and PoE video cameras with upstream switches and routers where a mix of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic for video surveillance and cell-tower applications are present.
When the Magnum 6KL 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 it packets to cause “flow control”.
Managed Network Software for Magnum 6KL Magnum 6KL comes with licensed MNS-6K software or MNS-6K-SECURE, which allow the user to configure the Magnum 6KL as a Managed Switch and implements security features and other software enabled features. (NOTE: Magnum 6KL managed switch will work with MNS-6K Rel v4.1.6 firmware or higher version only, or MNS-6K-SECURE v14.1.6 firmware or higher...
Features and Benefits Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs Magnum 6KL Switches provide unicast non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at once) performance with standard Managed Network Software. They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with up to 8 100Mb +2 Gigabit ports for backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.
They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as single or dual Gigabit (1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard LAN management software. Magnum 6KL 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.

In a fast growing secure video environment, the 6KL is a reliable and secure solution. The modular design of the Magnum 6KL, provides a wide range of copper/fiber options to meet requirements. The Gigabit uplink for storage or broadband uplink allows the telecom user a very effective solution to store their sensitive data securely.
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised earthing path. This section describes installation of the Magnum 6KL Switches, as well as connection of the various Ethernet media types. Locating Magnum 6KL Switches For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3...
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT3, CAT5, UTP or STP) 3.2.1 The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6KL 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.
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5e or better, UTP or STP) 3.2.2 The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6KL 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.
Due to its compact, hot pluggable characteristics, SFPs are becoming a very popular choice for various applications. The small-chassis Magnum 6KL is designed for industry-standard Gb-SFPs for user selection of the SFP gigabit media type as desired.
Magnum 6KL Managed Edge Switch Installation and User Guide 11/09 Find the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) markings on the SFP transceiver to verify the top side of it. Some of the transceiver marks arrow sign for up. Position the SFP transceiver correctly before insertion, and then insert the SFP transceiver carefully, until the transceiver connector snap into the place in the socket connector.
Magnum 6KL Managed Edge Switch Installation and User Guide 11/09 To release the 6KL from the DIN-Rail mounting, simply lift up on the bottom of the unit, disengaging the DIN rail bracket from the DIN rail. Once the bottom of the 6KL is rotated out, the DIN-Rail bracket is not engaged and the 6KL can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.

11/09 Connecting the Console Terminal to Magnum 6KL Use a (RJ45) “null modem” cable to connect the Magnum 6KL Console Port (the RJ45 Console port on the 6KL Switch) to your PC, so that your PC becomes the 6KL Console Terminal.
When Magnum 6KL 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.
The Path Delay Value (PDV) bit-times must account for all devices and cable lengths within that domain. For Magnum 6KL Fast Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.
An important feature of the Magnum 6KL is the use of Port Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 copper and various fiber media. The first four ports (1,2,3 & 4) of the Magnum 6KL Switches are fixed RJ-45 copper ports with dual-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating capability. Additionally the switch can accept...
