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.).
