The above information enables a management station (a PC or Console terminal) to
connect directly to the Switch Console using a straight-through serial cable.
NOTE for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI
advises that, for substation applications, the serial RJ-45console ports are
intended for temporary connectivity to other equipment such as PCs. Since the
console port connection is temporary, it is excluded from IEEE 1613 packet-
loss testing per the 1613 standard-defined test procedure.

OPERATION

This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K8-Series
Switch.
4.1

Switching Functionality

A Magnum 6K8-Series provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed
among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K8-Series 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 6K8-Series, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth
on any other port.
