DB-9 (Console port connector)

Pin	Signal	Description
1	CD	Carrier detect (not used)

The above information enables a management station (a PC or Console terminal) to connect directly to the Switch Console using a straight-through serial cable.

NOTE for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI advises that, for substation applications, the serial RJ-45console ports are intended for temporary connectivity to other equipment such as PCs. Since the console port connection is temporary, it is excluded from IEEE 1613 packet- loss testing per the 1613 standard-defined test procedure.

4.0OPERATION

This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K8-Series Switch.

4.1Switching Functionality

A Magnum 6K8-Series provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed

among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K8-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 6K8-Series, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other port.
