Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) except they have the capability of providing power on each port to power up the PD devices, per the IEEE802.3af PoE standard. The power-pass-through PoE modules are dependent upon the -48VDC input power to supply the PD power for these RJ-45 (10/100) ports.
SFP Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules The Gigabit port options for the modular slot come in a few different configurations of Fiber SFP’s or RJ-45’s. The Magnum 6KQ offers only SFPs (Small Form Pluggable) for Gigabit speed. There are multiple choices of SFP Gigabit transceiver types to combine with RJ-45’s for the modular slot.
2.2.9 Managed Network Software (MNS-6K ) for Magnum 6KQ-Series Magnum 6KQ’s come with Rel3.6 licensed MNS-6K software, which allows the user to configure the Magnum 6KQ as a Managed Switch and implements security features and other software enabled features.
Features and Benefits Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs Magnum 6KQ Switches provide unicast non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at once) performance with standard Managed Network Software (MNS-6K) included. They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with up to 12 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 6KQ 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 another application in an industrial environment, a 12 port Nebs compliant, -24VDC managed switch is required to meet the fiber and copper connections to cover the wider area of video CCTV. The switch must be SNMP enabled and managed to easily monitor the whole setup.
For DC power input data, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6KQ will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs.
3.2.4 Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or Shielded) The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6KQ 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.
& with RJ-45 ports used as indicated here. 3.2.5 Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5e or better, Unshielded or Shielded) The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6KQ can be connected to the media types, 1000BASE-T or CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP) balanced cable.
Due to its compact, hot pluggable characteristics, SFPs are becoming a very popular choice for various applications. The small-chassis Magnum 6KQ is designed for industry- standard Gb-SFPs and Gb-SFPCU (copper) for user selection of the SFP gigabit media type as desired.

It is available with optional DIN-Rail brackets to mount it securely in a metal factory floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit. The Magnum 6KQ requires one DIN-Rail mounting clip or latch for secure mounting. These may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-6KQ. See a 6KQ viewed from the side, at the left, with model DIN-RAIL-6KQ in place on the unit.
6KQ can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting. The picture in Section 3.3 shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6KQ as it about to be mounted on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6KQ unit is held out from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets.
Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) air circulation and cooling of the rear part of the case. For best cooling of the 6KQ, attach the metal brackets to metal (rather than wood or plastic). Attaching to metal helps conduct heat away from the 6KQ through the metal brackets and into the metal support structure.
See the Appendices of this manual for more details. Use an RFQ for other variations. 3.5 Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps The Alarm Contacts feature, standard on Magnum 6KQ’s, provides two Form C Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two sets of status monitoring wires at the green terminal block.
(04/07) The Alarm Contacts are on the front left area (next to the DC power source) of the Magnum 6KQ unit and are green in color as shown in the picture. 6KQ Port Module (6KPM) Installation Magnum 6KQ Switches are normally received from the factory with all required 6K Port Modules installed.
Switching Functionality A Magnum 6KQ provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed among all of its ports. The Magnum 6KQ 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 6KQ, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other port.
Address Learning All Magnum 6KQ units have address table capacities of 4K node addresses suitable for use in larger networks. They are self-learning, so as nodes are added, removed or moved from one segment to another, the 6KQ Switch automatically keeps up with node locations.

When Magnum 6KQ 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.
Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07) account for all devices and cable lengths within that domain. For Magnum 6KQ Fast Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.
