Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
2.2  
Product Description - Magnum 6K16-Series (6K16/6K16V)  
Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Switches, available as Magnum 6K16 and  
6K16V models, and equipped with 16 modular ports, is specially designed to focus on  
two different aspects of Ethernet markets to meet their needs and requirements. 6K16-  
Series managed switches provide modularity of fiber and copper ports, a mix and  
combination of 10Mb, 100Mb and Gigabit speed ports, with comprehensive management  
software in a compact industrial-grade package. Setting a new standard for Industrial and  
Carrier Class applications, heavy duty Ethernet Switch jobs are readily accommodated  
with an extended temperature rating of -40˚C to 60˚C by the UL Component Parts  
method, or -50˚C to 95˚C by the IEC 60068 Type Test method. With options such as all  
popular DC power input types, worldwide AC power and DIN-Rail mounting, the  
hardened Magnum 6K16-Series is a “multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet Switch.  
The large family of port modules offer the choice of all fiber media (all  
connector types, multi- and single-mode) and 10/100 Mb auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports.  
Standard GBIC ports can be configured for a variety of Gigabit cabling types and  
distances.  
The 6K16- Series managed switches also provides PoE option via power –  
inside PoE modules on one of A or B slot and allows the users to select a wide option of  
combo PoE modules to support 802.3af pd devices. See details for PoE modules in sec  
5.2.10. The Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), and are fully compatible with Powered  
Devices (PD)(e.g wireless access points, IP phones) that comply with the IEEE 802.3af  
PoE standard. The PoE switch ports have an auto-sensing algorithm, so that they provide  
power only to 802.3af, PoE end devices. PoE is managed by a multi-stage handshake  
to protect equipment from damage and to manage power budgets .The PoE ports  
will discontinue supplying power when the PoE powered devices are disconnected, and  
support the 802.3af PoE PSE standard for over-current protection, under-current  
detection, and fault protection.  
High performance features include non-blocking speed on all ports and 802.1p QoS  
Traffic Prioritization. Magnum 6K16-Series switches are “plug-and-play” ready for use  
as backbone switches where a mix of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic for  
VoIP and audio/video “Triple Play” applications are present.  
Magnum 6K16-Series Fiber Switches are provided with LAN management  
software including SNMP, Tag- and Port-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and Port

LANs using ring topologies, Spanning Tree Protocol, Link-Loss-Learn and S-Ring  
are available. See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) and S-Ring datasheets for  
additional details on the comprehensive set of software programs and options.  
Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switches have heavy duty  
metal cases and auto-ranging power supplies for operation with standard AC power  
worldwide. Internal DC power supplies are optional. All DC power input types (5V,  
24V, 48V, 125V) are supported, and dual source input is optional on all except 5VDC..  
Alarm Relay contacts provided on each Magnum 6K16-Series Switch monitor  
the hardware and software providing a loss of power signal and user- defined software  
events through traps. See Section 3.5 for details.  
The wide selections of port modules are key to the flexibility and adaptability.  
2.2.1a Magnum 6K16V, Managed Fiber Switch  
The Magnum 6K16V model of 6K16-Series family, is primarily designed to use for  
vertical mount applications. Equipped with the multi-media fiber/copper solutions,  
multiple speed 10/100/1000Mb support, rich MNS-6K management features , hardware  
and software alarms and convection cooling (no fans), the Magnum 6K16V easily  
qualifies for use in transportation and traffic control systems, power utilities and  
industrial factory-floors. For the fast growing demands of video surveillance systems  
with segments requiring Gigabit backbone interconnections, the Magnum 6K16V  
managed switches are easy to install and operate.  
The next generation of industrial applications will need advanced managed network  
software, operation at extended temperatures, fiber ports modularity, support for self-  
healing ring structures, redundancy, security and gigabit backbone configurability. The  
Magnum 6K16V has all of these, in a very sleek and robust metal case with a wide

There are three LED’s per fiber port. The Link (LK) LED indicates “ready for  
operation” on that port when lit, the F/H LED indicates operation in full-duplex mode  
when ON (half-duplex when OFF), and the blinking ACT LED indicates receiving  
Activity on the port. A fiber cable must be connected into a SFF 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.  
2.2.3  
Eight-Port Copper Module, 6K8-RJ45  
The 6K8-Series’s 8-port Copper port module, model 6K8-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 connection to make the connection, and  
eliminate the need of cross-over cable.  
On the model 6K8-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-

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
The four RJ-45 ports operate just like the 8-port copper module with auto-cross  
(MDIX) feature to eliminate the use of cross-over cable, and the two fiber ports operate  
at 100Mbps full-duplex (default). User mode control per port through the MNS software  
is also the same.  
On Magnum “4+2” Combo modules, there are four LED’s for each RJ-45 port,  
which indicate status the same as described for the 6K8-RJ45 in Section 2.2.3 above. The  
fiber port’s LEDs indicate status the same way as described for the SFF fiber modules in  
Section 2.2.2 above. Color-coding on the panel of the module shows which LEDs  
belong to which port.

The 4-port @10Mb ST fiber modules behave the same as the 4@100Mb ST  
fiber modules except for the 10Mb speed. For ports numbering, ports 1, 2, 5, 6 are  
present, ports 3, 4. 7, 8 are not present. There is also a similar 100Mb fiber SC module.  
The default setup on 10Mb, fiber module is half-duplex, which allows the  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switch to connect to any 10Mb hub or media converter or almost  
any other device with a 10Mb fiber Ethernet port. The default setting of 100Mb, fiber  
module is full duplex. User mode-control per port through the MNS “port settings”  
software is the same as the other 6K16-Series modules.  
The fiber ports support fiber cabling distances according to the 10BASE-FL  
and 100BASE-FX standards, i.e., 2km distance for multi-mode fiber. (Single-mode for  
up to greater distance may be available as a special order, request quote).

The 6K216-Series Modules6provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard  
GBICs to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both  
multi-mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70)km fiber options, and for Gigabit  
copper as well, with new models appearing often.  
The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K16-Series are  
normally set (factory default) to operate at AUTO mode for best fiber distance and  
performance. The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX  
transceivers are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards.  
There are two LEDs mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber  
port is by default configured at AUTO mode, and can be fix at 1000Mbps speed full-  
duplex mode at any times and has LEDs that indicate LK (Link status) and ACT  
(receiving activity) on that port when lit.  
2.2.8  
Packet Prioritization, 802.1p QOS  
Quality of Service means providing consistent predictable data delivery to  
users from datagram paths that go all across a network. As a LAN device, the Magnum  
6K16-Series can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet  
traffic through its ports and buffers.  
The Magnum 6K16-Series switching hardware supports the IEEE 802.1p

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
standard and fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority to  
priority tagged packets according to the 802.1p standard. In addition to hardware support  
for QOS, the MNS software (R2) supports two priority queues that can be shared across  
the eight levels of defined packet priorities for application-specific priority control by the  
user through software configuration settings.  
2.2.9  
Frame Buffering and Flow Control  
Magnum 6K16-Series’s are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or  
packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur.  
This technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the  
correct CRC, i.e., are good packets. This eliminates the propagation of bad packets,  
enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.  
While other switching technologies (such as "cut-through" or  
"express") impose minimal frame latency, they will also permit bad frames to propagate  
out to the Ethernet segments connected. The "cut-through" technique permits collision  
fragment frames (which are a result of late collisions) to be forwarded which add to the  
network traffic. Since there is no way to filter frames with a bad CRC (the entire frame  
must be present in order for CRC to be calculated), the result of indiscriminate cut-  
through forwarding is greater traffic congestion, especially at peak activity. Since  
collisions and bad packets are more likely when traffic is heavy, the result of store-and-  
forward operation is that more bandwidth is available for good packets when the traffic  
load is greatest.  
When the Magnum 6K16-Series 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 packets to cause “flow control”. This tells the sending devices to  
temporarily stop sending traffic, which allows a traffic catch-up to occur without  
dropping packets. Then, normal packet buffering and processing resumes. This flow-  
control sequence occurs in a small fraction of a second and is transparent to an observer.  
Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K16-Series Switches is a collision-based  
flow-control mechanism (when operating at half-duplex only). When the Switch detects  
that its free buffer queue space is low, the Switch prevents more frames from entering by  
forcing a collision signal on all receiving half-duplex ports in order to stop incoming  
traffic.

Features and Benefits  
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switches provide non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at  
once) performance with standard Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) included.  
They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 16 100Mb or 8+2 Gigabit ports for  
backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.  
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization  
The Magnum 6K16-Series switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing  
priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port-  
and application-specific priorities of data, the QoS software may be configured.  
Features Fiber-Built-In  
Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switches are designed to naturally include fiber  
ports, and support mixes of multi-mode and single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb  
speed; full-and half-duplex; classic Small Form Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber  
connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port types.  
S-Ring and Link Loss Learn for reliable high availability using ring topology  
S-Ring along with the Link-Loss-Learn feature provides reliable fast recovery of a  
fault in a ring topology.  
Relay Contacts for monitoring internal power and user-defined software events  
Two Alarm Relay contacts monitor basic operations.. One is for hardware, and will  
signal loss of power internally. The other is software controllable and will signal user-  
defined software events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.  
Vertical mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temp.  
Mounting brackets for vertical mounting are included. DIN-Rail mounting hardware  
is optional. Ethernet signal and power cables attach in the bottom. Two sets of status

Applications  
Magnum 6K16-Series Fiber Switches offer high performance, modularity and  
availability. 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 6K16-Series 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, or a very diversified  
combination of mixed media in Industrial floor applications.. The performance  
characteristic of the 6K16-Series Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of  
subnets (one subnet per 6K16-Series 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.  
The mixed-media modular capability is ideal for Industrial applications where  
existing Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated. The  
fiber-built-in media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the  
LAN structure.  
Example 1 : Magnum 6K16-Series Switch for a Industrial application  
Equipped with lots of useful features, hardened enclosure, wide spread of  
AC/DC power supply option, extended temperature rating qualifies the Magnum 6K16-  
Series Managed switch, for any Industrial factory-floors, traffic control, transportations  
systems and power utilities applications. The bundles of MNS-6K software operated  
features diversified this managed switch to operate and perform securely and reliably in  
all critical applications. The addition of S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn software feature  
allow this Managed switch to provide a very secure highly available redundant network  
capability in any ring topology network.  
In an Industrial environment where the factory floors are networked with  
Ethernet based mixed-media LANs, equipped with PLCs, computers for taking reading  
and data from M/C, Client/ Server databases and fetching these important datas to the  
central office data warehouses. The Managed 6K16-Series’s modularity along with  
MNS-6K management software features, remarkably handle these kind of network very  
securely and reliably through out the Factory-floors. The DIN-Rail Mounting options on  
the Magnum 6K16, allow the Factory floor Industrial’s user to mount securely anywhere  
on their Network setup.

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
The option for setting the ports at 10 or 100Mb on copper, and supporting the  
10 or 100Mb fiber media, provide a very widespread option to the users to mix match  
their legacy and advance network needs. The modularity of the 6K16-Series Managed  
Fiber Switch makes it an attractive choice for use in applications with LAN connections  
to an organization’s multiple site offices and factory- floors. The different locations can  
be easily connected together with the Fiber ports supported by the Magnum 6K16-Series  
Switch. A main NT-server in a secure area protected from earthquake or fire hazards can  
be connected to the full duplex Gigabit Fiber port.  
Extended temp. ratings and wide options of AC/DC power supply qualifies this  
managed 6K16-Series switch to use in temp. controlled network floor and many others  
temp sensitive critical Industrial applications, where above normal room temp. is  
required to operate the network. 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 6K16-Series Switch helps create a database of all  
the network subnets to easily manage the network.

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
Example 3.  
In another application, in a Telco environment, 12 port Nebs  
compliant, -48VDC operated managed switch is required to meet the fiber and  
copper connection to store the sensitive datas. The switch must be snmp enabled  
and managed to easily manage the whole setup.  
Magnum 6K16, managed carrier class switch easily qualifies for this  
requirement with all the features and modularity. Loaded with management  
MNS-6K, the 6K16 provides a very effective and economical solution for the  
carrier-class space environment. Equipped with a rack mount solution to deploy  
side-by-side, the carrier-class managed switches also provide the port density in  
a rack-mounting space.  
The security features e.g port-security, vlan, Snmpv3, secure telnet etc.also  
boost the Magnum 6K16 managed switches to provide a very effective ad  
reliable solution. The modularity feature to support both copper and fiber at  
either 10/100/1000Mb speed easily meet the variation speed of legacy and  
future broadband requirement.  
In a carrier class (Telco) environment the expected reliable

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
3.0  
Installation  
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the  
following precautions:  
1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment  
must be less than or equal to 500C.  
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and  
safe operation.  
3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
system, placement of the equipment must not overload or load  
unevenly the rack system.  
4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent  
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.  
5.) 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 6K16-Series Switches, as  
well as connection of the various Ethernet media types.  
3.1  
Locating Magnum 6K16-Series Switches  
For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.4.  
For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3.  
For DC power options, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C.  
For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters)  
of the intended Magnum 6K16-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K16-  
Series 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. Keep an open  
area around the unit so that cooling can occur from convection while the unit is in  
operation. The 6K16-Series has no fans, so it is silent when in operation. Internal  
electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may normally be quite warm to the  
touch.  
3.2  
Connecting Ethernet Media  
The Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are specifically designed to  
support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is  
accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be  
individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description  
of the PMs.  
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE  
802.3, 802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are  
as follows:

Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”  
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber  
connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6K16-Series module, MST-  
type port.  
1. Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the  
tips of the connectors on the PM. Save these dust caps for future use.  
2. Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue  
dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.  
Note:  
One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color  
bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the  
associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.  
3. Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum PM to the  
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of  
the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.  
4. Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post on the PM) to the Transmit  
(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.  
5.  
The LINK LED on the front of the PM will illuminate when a proper  
connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in  
the unit). If LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal cause is  
improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables at the PM connector to  
remedy this situation.  
3.2.2  
Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"  
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with SC-type fiber  
connectors, i.e., using 6K-MSC, 6K-SSC single-mode.  
When connecting fiber media to SC connectors, simply snap on the two square male  
connectors into the SC female jacks of the 6KPM, until it clicks and secures.  
3.2.3  
Connecting Single-Mode Fiber Optic  
When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port  
connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode fiber cable

(9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for multi-mode where xx/xx  
are the diameters of the core and the core plus the cladding respectively). Single-mode  
fiber allows full bandwidth at longer distances, and may be used to connect 10 Mb nodes  
up to 10 Km apart, or 18Km with the 6K-SSC.  
The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber, applies to single-mode fiber  
connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2.2 above.  
3.2.4  
Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or  
Shielded)  
The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6K16-Series 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. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is  
100 meters (328 ft).

NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mb  
and 100Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a  
mixed-speed network, since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for either 10 and  
100Mb/s.  
The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-  
TX twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both  
unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.  
1. Using standard twisted pair media, insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45  
plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that, even though the connector is  
shielded, either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.  
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device  
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be  
illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established  
3.2.5  
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5E or better, Unshielded or  
Shielded)  
The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K16-Series 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.  
In either case, the max distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).

3.2.6  
Connecting Gigabit Media Using GBICs  
The Gigabit ports accept industry-standard GBICs for user selection of the  
gigabit media type desired. A selection of fiber and copper GBICs are available.  
3.3  
DIN-Rail Mounting (Magnum 6K16V)  
The Magnum 6K16V is designed for use in  
a “factory floor” industrial environment. 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 6K16V requires two DIN-Rail  
mounting clips or latches for secure mounting, and  
these may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-VRM.  
See a 6K16V viewed from the rear, at right, with  
model DIN-RAIL-VRM in place on the unit.  
The Din Rail Latching clips are mounted on the upper rear  
corners of the 6K16V unit. Two threaded holes are  
provided on the sides of 6K16V for DIN-Rail mounting  
purposes. See side view at the left, with the top of the unit  
pointed to the right. The required two screws are included  
with the DIN-Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL.  
PAN w/star washer. The two heavy duty Din-Rail latches  
are designed as if that they can be manually accessed from

the top when the 6K16V is installed on a DIN Rail.  
To install the 6K16V with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold  
the 6K16V in the vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward  
the DIN-Rail. Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the latches  
into holding position by moving the bottom of the 6K16V inwards to a vertical position.  
The DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy duty, and will hold the 6K16V securely in  
position, even with cabling attached to the unit.  
To release the 6K16V from the DIN-Rail mounting, press the top of the two DIN-  
Rail latches down simultaneously to release the 6K16V so that it can be dismounted by  
pulling the bottom out. Once the bottom of the 6K16V is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch  
is not engaged and the 6K16V can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting..  
The picture below is a front / right-side view of a DIN-Rail mounted 6K16V. It  
shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6K16V on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection  
cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6K16V unit is held out  
from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets. The 6K16V design uses the case for  
cooling (patent pending), and needs to be mounted vertically with air flow space in the  
front, rear, and sides.

The DIN-Rail mounting brackets and latches are optional and need to be ordered  
as separate items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-VRM  
3.3.1  
Mounting Dimensions for 6K16Vwith metal brackets  
Each Mangum 6K16V is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to  
mount the unit securely. It is recommended to mount the 6K16V vertically, as shown  
below, for proper cooling and long-life reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit  
with space for air movement around the top and the sides, typically a minimum of 1  
inch..  
Note that the back of the 6K16V unit is held out from the panel or wall behind it,  
creating a rear space of about ¼ inch or 1cm. This allows air circulation and cooling of  
the rear part of the case. Since the 6K16V uses special internal thermal techniques  
(patent pending) to move the heat generated by the electronic components inside into the  
case, the case may be quite warm to the touch during normal operation.  
The unit can be mounted using the brackets turned outside (normal) or inside (if space is  
tight). Attach the mounting bracket either outside or inside as shown in the illustration  
above (dotted line shown for the brackets inside). The spacing for the mounting screws  
into the supporting wall or panel is a rectangle 11.89” x 7.85” center-to-center.

3.4  
Powering the Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch  
The Magnum 6K16-Series Switches incorporate an internal universal power  
supply and have a recessed male IEC connector for the AC power cord at the left-rear. A  
manual power ON-OFF switch is adjacent. A six-foot 115 VAC 60 Hz standard power  
cord is supplied with each unit shipped within the United States and Canada.  
The auto-ranging power supply supports installation environments where the  
AC voltage is from 90 to 260 volts with a power input frequency between 47 and 63 Hz.  
The 16-port units will consume over 20 watts of power typically. When connecting the  
Ethernet cabling, there is no need to power down the unit. Individual cable segments can  
be connected or disconnected without concern for AC power-related problems or damage  
to the unit.  
Power supply options are available to suit the 6K16-Series Switches to special  
high-availability communications and/or heavy industrial-grade applications, including:  
*
*
-48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with single DC input,  
-48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with dual-source DC input,  
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 6K16-Series’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. When this option is present, the  
terminal block for Alarm Contacts is part of the Power Input panel in the Magnum  
6K16’s case. The AC or DC power input connection is in the same panel. A manual On-  
Off Switch for power to the unit is not available on 6K16 units with the Alarm Contacts  
option, as these two features occupy the same space in the case.  
The first NC Alarm Contact (top position) is a “Software Alarm”, operated  
by user settings in the MNS-6K software. The user can disable the Software Alarm  
feature with a software configuration command if desired. When the Software Alarm is  
enabled, the Form C Normally Closed (NC) contact is held close during normal software  
operation. A user-defined software malfunction, such as an SNMP Trap or a Software  
Security violation or an S-Ring Fault,  
causes the contact to open and thus trigger  
an alarm in the user’s monitoring system  
The second (bottom position)  
NC Alarm Contact is held close when there  
is power on the main board inside of the  
6K16. This provides a “Hardware Alarm”  
because the NC contacts will open when  
internal power is lost, either from an  
external power down condition or by the  
Relay Contacts

information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please  
reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19th).  
The Alarm Contacts are on the front left area (next to the DC power source)  
of the Magnum 6K16-Series unit and is green in color as shown in the picture.  
3.6  
6K16-Series Port Module (6KPM) Installation  
Note: the modules used in the 6K16-Series vertical mount unit are similar to  
those used in rack-mount 6K units, except that the top LEDs are positioned for front  
viewing for the vertical-mount 6K16-Series model. The modules have the letter “V” in  
the model numbers, but otherwise are the same. In the Port Module materials below, all  
modules are referred to as “6KPM” for convenience in describing port module  
installation.  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are normally received from the factory with all  
required 6KPM modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPM cards need to  
be added or replaced. In cases where additional 6KPM cards are needed, the faceplate  
for an available front-mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes  
this operation.  
3.6.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs  
STOP!!!  
Be sure the power cord is unplugged  
from the chassis before attempting to remove  
and/or replace any PM cards.  
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit  
and will void the warranty.  
Caution- Avoid Static Discharge: The port modules (like most electronic  
equipment) are sensitive to static discharge. Use proper ESD measures when  
handling port modules.  
Step 1. Make sure the 6KPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it  
properly. Each 6KPM Card package except the Gigabit, for field installation

contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8  
stand offs for Granddaughter board, 6 standoff for daughter Board, nine #4-40  
Pan-Head screws along with Front panel face plate package. The Front panel  
faceplate package includes 2 retainer brackets and four #2-56 flat head screws.  
NOTE: Every 6KPM Card package comes with their matching Daughter and  
Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPM card should not work properly if  
mixed with other Fiber combo 6KPM card packages. Always install the PM  
module separately one by one to avoid the mixing. Do not change the Blue  
color DIP Switch setting ever, and leave it at factory default.  
Step 2. Remove Chassis Cover  
The Magnum 6K16-Series  
chassis consists of top-bottom, front  
and rear parts and assembled together  
with the help of 18 Philips-head  
screws. There are 6 screws located on  
the front panel of the unit (2 each on  
top and the bottom and one each at  
the side), 12 for top-bottom cover of  
the unit (6 each on the bottom side of  
the unit) and 6 screws each on the  
sides and 6 screws for the rear panel  
(2 each on top and bott0m and one each on the side). Remove these screws. Once these  
screws are removed, the front panel is easily slid out to the front of the chassis base.  
Figure 3.6.1a: Removing the Front panel from the unit  
Caution: Be careful not to  
disturb the power supply.  
Once the front panel is removed, the  
front cover may be slid out to the front of the  
unit. Hold on the back part and then carefully  
and slowly slide out the top chassis cover  
towards the front side, as shown in the picture.

When the chassis top cover has been removed, the interior of the unit is  
exposed. Looking down into the Magnum 6K16-Series unit, notice that there are  
individual PM installation spaces and female latch (white) connectors provided on the  
main board along with four stand-off’s for each 6KPM card position. (See Figure 3.6.1b)  
above.  
Step 3. Remove front panel face plate retaining screws  
There are two PM slots (A, B) located on the front of the chassis cover. Looking into the  
vertical placed Chassis cover of the unit, there are three brackets with retaining screws  
(#256 flat head ) which hold each PM Face plate card slot securely. These six screws  
shown in the picture below are used to secure a PM face plate in position, but unscrew  
only four of the screws as shown in Fig. below. These screws are also used to secure the  
individual 6KPM cards screen plate which can be subjected to significant forces from the  
attached cables. (See Figure 3.6.1c)

NOTE: All 6KPM slots need not be filled in order for the Magnum 6K16-Series unit to  
be operational. When leaving 6KPM slots empty, always use a face plate (Magnum  
6K8-BLNK) to cover the slot opening in the front panel. This will maintain proper  
cooling air flow, safety, and operation as required by FCC, CE, and other regulations.  
Step 6. Now screw down the daughter board with 6 #440 screws, so that it holds the  
daughter board securely. The figure below shows the top view of 6KPM card  
after successfully  
installing the 6KPM  
cards inside the  
Magnum 6K16-Series.

Step 7. Once the installation of  
granddaughter and  
daughter modules is  
done, the front panel screen plates need to be placed on the front of the chassis  
cover to complete the installation process for that port module. The front panel  
screen plate comes along with the package of port module separately along with  
3 brackets and 6 #256 flat head screws. The brackets and screws have been

Step 8. Once all 6KPM cards have been installed (including faceplates for empty  
slots), the chassis cover should be replaced. Make sure the chassis cover is  
aligned properly before securing the enclosure.

Removing 6KPM Cards  
To properly remove a 6KPM card from the 6K16-Series Managed Fiber  
Switch, follow the 3 steps below.  
Step 1. Remove chassis cover  
See procedures in Section 3.6.1 above.  
Caution: Be sure the power cord is unplugged.  
Step 2. Remove retaining screws placed on top for the 6KPM and Face Plate  
On the top of the daughter module there are six  
retaining screws for each 6KPM card. These  
screws are used to secure a 6KPM card in  
position (see Figure 3.6.3a). Remove the three  
standoffs holding the Granddaughter board with  
the chassis. The screen faceplate screws out from  
the inside front of the chassis cover by loosening  
the 4 screws and bracket while holding it down  
firmly. Figure 3.6.3a: Top View - 6 retaining s crews shown by arrows  
Step 3. Remove 6KPM Card  
Carefully and gently pull  
out the daughter board from the latching  
connectors, using both hands, gripping  
the board near the latch-up connectors as  
shown in Fig. 3.6.3b . If the now empty  
slot is to remain unused, be sure to install  
a 6KPM-BLNK face plate cover.  
Figure 3.6.3b: Removing a 6KPM  
Card  
If another 6KPM card is replacing the one that has been removed, follow the steps as  
described for installing a 6KPM card discussed in Section 3.7.1.

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
4.0  
OPERATION  
This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K16-Series  
Switch.  
4.1  
Switching Functionality  
A Magnum 6K16-Series provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed  
among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K16-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 6K16-Series, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth  
on any other port.  
Magnum 6K16-Series units are plug-and-play devices. There is no software  
configuring necessary to be done for basic operation at installation or for maintenance.  
The only hardware configuration settings are user options for an UP-LINK Switch  
(resides inside the unit) on the 6K8-RJ45. Optional Half / Full duplex mode and 10 or  
100Mbps selection for the switched ports must be configured through MNS software per  
unit as per the requirement. The internal functions of both are described below.  
Filtering and Forwarding  
Each time a packet arrives on one of the switched ports, the decision is taken to  
either filter or to forward the packet. Packets whose source and destination addresses are  
on the same port segment will be filtered, constraining them to that one port and relieving  
the rest of the network from having to process them. A packet whose destination address  
is on another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent  
to the other ports where it is not needed. Traffic needed for maintaining the un-  
interrupted operation of the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) are  
forwarded to all ports.  
The Magnum 6K16-Series Switches operate in the store-and-forward switching  
mode, which eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when  
there is heavy traffic on the network.  
Address Learning  
All Magnum 6K16-Series 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 6K16-Series Switch  
automatically keeps up with node locations.  
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of  
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.

4.3  
Up-link Manual Switches set as (=) , for RJ-45 port only  
The module has a manual Up-link switch, located on the inside of the board  
next to the 10/100Mb (6K8-RJ45) port # 1 which it controls. It enables the port’s cable  
to be cascaded (X) to a 10/100Mb repeater or switching hub in the network. The Up-link  
Switch position is configured as (=) straight position by default from the factory settings  
on all the RJ-45 ports, either used for all copper module or combo module.  
4.4  
Auto-Cross(MDIX) and Auto-negotiation, for RJ-45 ports  
The RJ-45 ports independently support auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in  
auto-negotiation mode and will work properly with all the other connected devices  
with RJ-45 port whether it supports Auto-negotiation or not (e.g 10Mb Hub, media  
converter) or fixed mode at 10Mb or 100Mb Half/Full Duplex(managed switch). No  
cross-over cable is required while using the 6K8’s copper port to other devices.  
Operation is according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.  
The Managed 6K16-Series Fast Ethernet copper ports, can be set for either fixed 100Mb  
speed or for 10/100 F/H N-way auto-negotiation per the IEEE802.3u standard. The  
selection is made via MNS software. The factory default setting is for auto-negotiation.  
At 10Mb or 100Mb-fixed speed, the user may select half- or full-duplex mode by MNS  
Software for each RJ-45 port separately. For detail information See Section (10.1 at  
page no.52) of this manual to access the “6K-MNS(Rel 3) Software user guide”  
One frequently-used application for the Managed Magnum 6K16-Series Switch  
copper ports is to connect one of them using a fiber media converter to another Switch in  
the network backbone, or to some other remote 100Mb device. In this case, it is  
desirable to operate the fiber link at 100Mb speed, and at either half- or full duplex mode  
depending on the capabilities of the remote device. Standard commercially available  
Fast Ethernet media converters mostly do not support auto-negotiation properly, and  
require that the switched port to which they are connected be at 100Mb fixed speed.  
Attachment to 10/100 auto-negotiation ports typically will not work properly. The

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
6K16-Series Switch’s RJ-45 ports handle this situation by configuring the ports as per  
desire through MNS software port settings and can check the port status of each port  
after the change.  
When Magnum 6K16-Series 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. These are: (1) 100Mb full-  
duplex, (2) 100Mb half-duplex, (3) 10 Mb full-duplex and (4) 10 Mb half-duplex.  
The auto-negotiation logic will attempt to operate in descending order and will normally  
arrive at the highest order mode that both devices can support at that time. (Since auto-  
negotiation is potentially an externally controlled process, the original “highest order  
mode” result can change at any time depending on network changes that may occur). If  
the device at the other end is not an auto-negotiating device, the 6K16-Series’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.  
General information -  
Auto-negotiation per-port for 802.3u-compliant switches occurs when:  
-- the devices at both ends of the cable are capable of operation at either 10  
Mb or 100Mb speed and/or in full- or half-duplex mode, and can  
send/receive auto-negotiation pulses, and . . .  
-- the second of the two connected devices is powered up*, i.e., when  
LINK is established for a port, or  
-- the LINK is re-established on a port after being lost temporarily.  
NOTE Some NIC cards only auto-negotiate when the computer system  
that they are in is powered up. These are exceptions to the “negotiate at  
LINK – enabled” rule above, but may be occasionally encountered.  
When operating in 100Mb half-duplex mode, cable distances and hop-counts  
may be limited within that collision domain. The Path Delay Value (PDV) bit-times must  
account for all devices and cable lengths within that domain. For Magnum 6K16-Series  
Fast Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.

4.5  
Flow-control, IEEE 802.3x standard  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switches incorporate a flow-control mechanism for  
Full-Duplex mode. The purpose of flow-control is to reduce the risk of data loss if a long  
burst of activity causes the switch to save frames until its buffer memory is full. This is  
most likely to occur when data is moving from a 100Mb port to a 10 Mb port and the  
10Mb port is unable to keep up. It can also occur when multiple 100Mb ports are  
attempting to transmit to one 100Mb port, and in other protracted heavy traffic situations.  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switches implement the 802.3x flow control (non-  
blocking) on Full-Duplex ports, which provides for a “PAUSE” packet to be transmitted  
to the sender when the packet buffer is nearly filled and there is danger of lost packets.  
The transmitting device is commanded to stop transmitting into the 6K16-Series Switch  
port for sufficient time to let the Switch reduce the buffer space used. When the available  
free-buffer queue increases, the Switch will send a “RESUME" packet to tell the  
transmitter to start sending the packets. Of course, the transmitting device must also  
support the 802.3x flow control standard in order to communicate properly during  
normal operation.  
Note: When in Half-Duplex mode, the 6K16-Series Switch implements a  
back-pressure algorithm on 10/100 Mb ports for flow control. That is, the switch prevents  
frames from entering the device by forcing a collision indication on the half-duplex ports  
that are receiving. This temporary “collision” delay allows the available buffer space to  
improve as the switch catches up with the traffic flow.  
4.6  
Power Budget Calculations for Magnum 6K16-Series PM’s with  
Fiber Media  
Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to  
compute the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media  
installations using Magnum products, the following equations should be used:  
OPB (Optical Power Budget) = PT(min) - PR(min)  
where PT = Transmitter Output Power, and PR = Receiver Sensitivity  
Worst case OPB = OPB - 1dB(for LED aging) - 1dB(for insertion loss)  
Worst case distance = {Worst case OPB, in dB} / [Cable Loss, in dB/Km]  
where the “Cable Loss” for 62.5/125 and 50/125µm (M.m) is 2.8 dB/km,  
and the “Cable Loss” for 100/140 (Multi-mode) is 3.3 dB/km,  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.5 dB/km  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.4 dB/km (LXSC25)  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.25 dB/km  
(LXSC40)  
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.2 dB/km (LXSC70)

* Note: The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed  
over long distances (i.e., in excess of approx. 400 meters) can be achieved only  
if the following factors are both applied:  
The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, i.e. the  
full-duplex (factory default) setting for 100Mbps fiber ports must be used,  
and  
The worst-case OPB of the fiber link must be greater than the fiber cable’s  
passive Attenuation.  
(Attenuation = Cable loss + LED aging loss + Insertion loss + safety factor)

Introduction - Magnum 6K16/6K16V Managed Fiber Switch Port  
Modules  
This chapter describes each Port Module (PM), including appearance,  
functionality, and status displays.  
5.1  
Inspecting the Package and Product  
This section applies only to PMs shipped as separate items, i.e., 6K16/6K16V  
PMs not factory installed in a Magnum 6K16/6K16V PM slot.  
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to  
installing a 6K16/6K16V PM; notify the carrier of any damage you believe  
occurred during shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for  
any signs of damage and ensure that the items listed below are included.  
This package should contain:  
1 or more 6K16-Series (6K16 or 6K16V) PMs  
Installation instructions, with illustrations  
Remove the 6K16-Series PM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure  
to keep the shipping container should you need to ship any of the PMs  
separately at a later date. In the event there are items missing or damaged,  
contact your supplier. If you need to return the unit, use the original shipping  
container if possible. Refer to Chapter 5 for specific return procedures.  
6KPM Module Description  
5.2  
An important feature of the Magnum 6K16-Series is the use of Port Modules for flexible  
mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum 6K16-  
Series Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 2, 4, 6 or 8-port  
interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100  
or 1000Mps speed. Each 6K16-Series PM provides a wide selection of  
connecting Ethernet media segments with all similar or combo connector type.  
Note: The 6K16V Port modules are exactly similar in the functions, size and price,  
compared to 6K16 but addressed as e.g 6KP8V-RJ45 . For a correct list of  
6K16/6K16V Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2  
Each 6K16-Series PM is individually described in the following sections.  
NOTE: The port #1 on the RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all  
RJ-45 ports or used for COMBO module is set as (=) other user ports.

For non-PoE devices connected, the PoE port will act as a normal RJ-45 port  
and the PoE LED is OFF. No power is being sent out from the port.  
The PoE ports in Magnum 6K’s with 48VDC power input act as a pass-  
through, so the 48VDC power source must be strong enough to provide power  
to the 6K switch and to all the 8 RJ-45 ports with PD devices connected (up to  
15 watts per PoE port).  
In the case where the 48VDC power in not internally connected and no power  
is coming to the PoE ports for some reason, all the PoE port LEDs are ON  
simultaneously to indicate a trouble condition. The ports will still operate  
properly for data traffic.

incorrect polarity connection, for example, will neither affect the Switch, its internal  
power supply, nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply.  
The manual power “On-Off” Switch (optional) is used for powering the unit on  
and off when it is placed into or taken out of service.  
B3.0  
APPLICATIONS FOR DC POWERED ETHERNET SWITCHES  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are easily installed in a variety of applications  
where -48VDC, 24, or 125VDC or 5VDC power is used as the primary power source.  
The DC power configuration capability provides an Ethernet networking solution  
utilizing a special power supply in switches with a proven track record.  
The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry,  
where it is common for facilities to operate on -48VDC power. Such companies include  
regular and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and  
other communication companies. In addition, many high availability equipment services,  
such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other  
facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power  
failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and  
operations monitoring equipment.  
The 24V and 125VDC options are particularly useful in the Industrial environment,  
where it is common for facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The 125VDC  
options are mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations, electrical  
generating plants, etc. The 24VDC applications are mainly in the Industrial environment,  
such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc. The 5VDC options are  
mainly used for military or Industrial factory floor applications.  
B4.0  
6K16-SERIES, -48V, 24, 125 OR 5VDC INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC leads (or  
24VDC/125VDC/5VDC leads) to the DC power terminal block on the Magnum 6K16-  
Series Switch. The DC terminal block on the Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Switch is  
located on the left front of the unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-down lead posts.  
The power terminals are identified as positive (+) and negative (-), and they are floating  
inside the unit so that either may be grounded by the user if desired. The chassis is  
“earth” or ground (GND).  
The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply insert the DC leads to the  
Switch’s power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. The use of Ground  
(GND) is optional; it connects to the Switch chassis. Ensure that each lead is securely  
tightened.  
NOTE: Always use a voltmeter to measure the voltage of the incoming power supply  
and figure out the +ve potential lead or -ve potential lead. The more +ve potential lead  
will connect to the post labeled “+ve” and the rest to the “-ve”. The GND can be  
hooked up at the last.  
When power is applied, the green PWR LED will illuminate.

Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K16-Series unit has a floating ground,  
so the user may elect to Ground either + or = terminal to suit the customer’s use.  
Before connecting hot lines to the Terminal Block of –48VDC, 24VDC or  
125VDC, always use a digital voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the power  
supply and determine the lead which is more “+ve potential”. The more “+ve” voltage  
lead from 48V or –48V supply must be connected to the post labeled “+”.  
An ON-OFF manual switch is optional for DC power. This can be used to cut  
off power connections and as a RESET for the Magnum 6K16-Series Switch.

Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)  
its power from the DC source with the highest voltage at a given time.  
b) The Switch unit will not allow power to flow from a higher voltage input to a lower voltage  
input, i.e. the two DC power sources are not mixed together by the hub.  
c) When one correct DC input is present, the Switch will receive power if the other DC input is  
absent, or even if it is connected with reverse polarity or shorted or grounded.  
d) Reverse polarity connections, if they should accidentally occur on either input, will not damage  
the Switch or power supply internally (nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply)  
because of the blocking action of the diodes. This is true even if one input connection is  
reversed while the Switch is operating from the other source.  
e) The Switch will not receive power (and will not work) when both inputs are simultaneously  
absent or are both incorrectly connected.  
C5.0  
INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC, 24VDC and  
125VDC dual source leads to the -48VDC, 24VDC & 125VDC power terminal block on  
the Magnum 6Ks Switch (shown in Figure )  
The -48VDC terminal block on the  
Magnum 6K16-Series Switch, as shown in  
Fig C5.0 is located on the left front of the  
unit and is equipped with  
five (5) screw-down lead  
posts. The primary terminal
as positive (A+), negative  
DC terminal  
block  
(A-), and the secondary power terminals as  
negative (B-), positive(B+). The chassis  
“earth” or ground (GND) is a threaded post  
with a #6 nut. The Dual Source terminal  
block for the 24VDC and 125VDC are  
similar.  
Figure C5.0: -48VDC Dual-Source, wiring connections to the External  
Terminal Block on a Magnum -48VDC with Dual-Source option  
Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K16-Series unit has a floating ground,  
so the user may elect to Ground either + or = terminal to suit the customer’s use.  
Before connecting hot lines to the Terminal Block of –48VDC, 24VDC or 125VDC,  
always use a digital voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the power supply and  
determine the lead which is more “+ve potential”. The more “+ve” voltage lead from  
48V or –48V supply must be connected to the post labeled “+”.  
The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply connect the DC leads to  
the Switch’s power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. The use of Ground  
(GND) is optional; it connects to the Switch chassis. Ensure that each lead is securely  
tightened.  
The 24VDC & 125VDC terminal block on Magnum 6K16-Series’s is similar to  
that described in the –48VDC information above.
