    Gb backbone services. The performance characteristic of the 6K32 Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet per 6K32 Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet connections may be via fiber or twisted pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and full-or half-duplex mode.
  • Page 23 Full-duplex future proof fiber media can easily connect long distance subnets and provide a stable secure network to all applications. The SNMP management capability of the Magnum 6K32 Switch helps create a database of all the network subnets to easily manage the network. Secure web-based management is also included, with authentication and encryption to keep out even determined trouble-makers.
  • Page 24 The -48VDC input power option with Dual Source is a useful option in telecom central offices. The Magnum 6K32 with two Gigabit ports in the modular slot allows it to connect into a Gb mesh structure with RSTP and S-Ring combo used in a no- single-point-of-failure self-healing LAN topology along with a ring of multiple 6K25s at the edge to efficiently recover from a fault in the network.

    Connecting the Console Terminal to Magnum 6K32 (Management) Use a DB-9 “null modem” cable to connect the Magnum6K32 Console Port (the RS-232 port on the 6K32 Switch) to the your PC, so that your PC becomes the 6K32’s Console Terminal.
  • Page 40: Operation

    Switching Functionality A Magnum 6K32 provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K32 supports10/100Mbs for copper media and 10 or 100Mb separate traffic domains for fiber ports to maximize bandwidth utilization and network performance. All ports can communicate to all other ports in a Magnum 6K32, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other port.
  • Page 41: Status Leds

    In such cases, the 10/100 speed or the F/H mode may be affected, but auto-cross in the 6K32 Switches will still work. The auto-cross function can be disabled, if fixed the port at 10 or 100Mb through software..
  • Page 42 Magnum 6K32 Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (02/05) The Managed Magnum 6K32 Fast Ethernet copper ports can be set for either fixed 100Mb speed or N-way auto-negotiation per the IEEE802.3u standard. The selection is made via 6K-MNS software. The factory default setting is for auto- negotiation.
  • Page 43: Flow-Control, Ieee 802.3X Standard

    If the device at the other end is not an auto-negotiating device, the 6K32’s RJ-45 ports will try to detect its idle signal to determine 10 or 100 speed, and will default to half-duplex at that speed per the IEEE standard.
