Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)

•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)

5.0Introduction - Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Port Modules

This chapter describes each Port Module (PM), including appearance, functionality, and status displays.

5.1Inspecting the Package and Product

This section applies only to PMs shipped as separate items, i.e., 6KQ PMs not factory installed in a Magnum 6KQ PM slot.

Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to installing a 6KQ 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 6KQ units ( or 6KQ) PMs

Installation instructions, with illustrations

Remove the 6KQ 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.

5.26KPM Module Description

An important feature of the Magnum 6KQ is the use of Port Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum 6KQ Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 1, 2, 3, or 4-port interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100 or 1000Mps speed. Each 6KQ PM provides a wide selection of connecting Ethernet media segments with all similar or combo connector types.
