Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)

NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5E cables (which work for both 100 Mb and 1000Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network.

The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.

1.1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected. 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

3.2.6Connecting 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.

3.3DIN-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
