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

5.0Introduction - Magnum 6K16/6K16V Managed Fiber 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., 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.

5.26KPM Module Description

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.
