The 6K-Series’s 8-port Copper
	F/ H					ACT
port module, model 6K8-RJ45,		2	4	6	8
	10/100						LK
provides eight 10/100Mb switched
RJ-45 ports. The 10/100Mb	F/H						ACT
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-		1	3	5	7
negotiation is not disabled).
	10/100					LK
The FDX/HDX LED is ON to						ACT
indicate full-duplex operation	F/ H	2	4	6	8
and OFF to indicate half-	10/100					LK
duplex mode. A twisted pair	F/H					ACT

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.).
