Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch  
Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
In an eight-port SFF fiber port module, all of the fiber ports are of the same  
speed (100Mb), mode, and connector type. Models that are available with Small Form  
Factor (SFF) are multi-mode MT-RJ or LC-type connectors, and single-mode LC-type  
connectors.  
The 100Mb fiber eight-port modules for the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
normally are set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance  
and performance. Using the 6K32T & 6K32TRC’s MNS software, the user may select  
full- or half-duplex mode per-port through the set-up of the software (See the Magnum  
6K32T & 6K32TRC MNS Software Manual for the flexibility to adapt to any FDX or  
HDX type of Fast Ethernet devices).  
There are three LED’s per fiber port. The Link (LK) LED indicates “ready for  
operation” on that port when lit, the F/H LED indicates operation in full-duplex mode  
when ON (half-duplex when OFF), and the blinking ACT LED indicates receiving  
Activity on the port. A fiber cable must be connected into a SFF 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.

copper, ports 2 and 6 are fiber, ports 4 and 8 are not present.  
The four RJ-45 ports operate just like the 8-port copper module with auto-cross  
(MDIX) feature to eliminate the use of cross-over cable, and the two fiber ports operate  
at 100Mbps full-duplex (default). User mode control per port through the MNS software  
is also the same.  
On Magnum “4+2” Combo modules, there are four LED’s for each RJ-45 port,  
which indicate status the same as described for the 6K8-RJ45 in Section 2.2.3 above. The  
fiber port’s LEDs indicate status the same way as described for the SFF fiber modules in

The 6K32T & 6K32TRC modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-  
standard GBICs to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for  
both multi-mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70)km fiber options, and for  
Gigabit copper as well with new models appearing often.  
The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
are normally set (factory default) to operate at AUTO mode for best fiber distance and  
performance. The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX  
transceivers are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards.  
There are two LEDs mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber  
port is by default configured to AUTO mode, and can be fixed at 1000Mbps speed full-  
duplex mode at any time. The Gigabit fiber port has LEDs that indicate LK (Link status)  
and ACT (receiving activity) on that port when lit.

Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
2.2.7  
Packet Prioritization, 802.1p QOS  
Quality of Service means providing consistent predictable data delivery to  
users from datagram paths that go all across a network. As a LAN device, the Magnum  
6K32T & 6K32TRC can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling  
Ethernet traffic through its ports and buffers.  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC switching hardware supports the IEEE  
802.1p standard and fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority  
to priority tagged packets according to the 802.1p standard. In addition to hardware  
support for QOS, the MNS software (R3) supports two priority queues that can be shared  
across the eight levels of defined packet priorities for application-specific priority control  
by the user through software configuration settings.  
2.2.8  
Frame Buffering and Flow Control  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC’s are store-and-forward switches. Each frame  
(or packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can  
occur. This technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have  
the correct CRC, i.e., are good packets. This eliminates the propagation of bad packets,  
enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.  
While other switching technologies (such as "cut-through" or  
"express") impose minimal frame latency, they will also permit bad frames to propagate  
out to the Ethernet segments connected. The "cut-through" technique permits collision  
fragment frames (which are a result of late collisions) to be forwarded which add to the  
network traffic. Since there is no way to filter frames with a bad CRC (the entire frame  
must be present in order for CRC to be calculated), the result of indiscriminate cut-  
through forwarding is greater traffic congestion, especially at peak activity. Since  
collisions and bad packets are more likely when traffic is heavy, the result of store-and-  
forward operation is that more bandwidth is available for good packets when the traffic  
load is greatest.  
When the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch detects that its free buffer  
queue space is low, the Switch sends industry standard (full-duplex only) PAUSE  
packets out to the devices sending packets to cause “flow control”. This tells the sending  
devices to temporarily stop sending traffic, which allows a traffic catch-up to occur  
without dropping packets. Then, normal packet buffering and processing resumes.

Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch  
Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches is a  
collision-based flow-control mechanism (when operating half-duplex only). When the  
Switch detects that its free buffer queue space is low, the Switch prevents more frames  
from entering by forcing a collision signal on all receiving half-duplex ports to stop  
incoming traffic.

2.3  
Features and Benefits  
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC & 6K32TRC Switches provide non-blocking (all ports  
can run at full speed at once) performance with standard Managed Networks Software  
(MNS-6K) included. They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 24  
10/100Mb ports or one or two Gigabit ports for backbone connections where managed  
network services are desired.  
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet  
processing priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard.  
For port- and application-specific priorities, the QoS software may be configured by  
the user.  
Features Fiber-Built-In  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switches are designed with modular slots to  
naturally include fiber ports and support mixes of the following; multi-mode and  
single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and half-duplex; and classic  
Small Form Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be  
configured in the mix of port types.  
Modular design for port flexibility, in a 1U space-saving rack-mount package  
The 1U Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC chassis has 1 slot for port configurations. A  
family of 2, 4, 6 or 8 port modules allows the user to select the desired mix of port  
types and speeds. There are over 20 different modules in the family to choose from.  
The port modules are normally factory installed and tested, but may be changed in the  
field.  
Rack-mounting may be standard or “reverse”, 19 inch or ETSI or 23” Telco  
The standard rack mounting provides Ethernet ports and status LEDs in front, service  
connections (power input and management console) in the rear. “Reverse” rack  
mounting provides status LEDs in front and all cabling connections in the rear.  
Standard 19’ rack mount brackets are included, with ETSI and 23” Telco optional.  
Standard AC power input, -48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC input is optional  
Standard AC power input has an IEC plug and is auto-ranging for worldwide use. For  
special applications, models with –48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC are available. Dual  
Source DC input can also be selected and configured on the DC power input models.  
Heavy-duty design for Telco (NEBS tested) and other industrial environments  
Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
design provides for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature can  
be up to 55°C.

Applications  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Fiber Switches offer high performance along  
with one or two modular slot options to fulfill the choice of copper/Fiber, 10,100 or  
1000Mb requirements. The 6K32T & 6K32TRC also offers MNS-6K management  
software loaded with multiple useful features. The Magnum IEC61850 6K32T &  
6K32TRC Switches are used in a variety of Power sub-stations applications including,  
Industrials and temp. un-controlled, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to  
departmental networks, and LAN traffic centers that require Gigabit backbone services.  
The performance characteristic of the 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches enables them to  
inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet per 6K32T Switch port) in a LAN traffic  
center. The subnet connections may be via fiber or twisted pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10  
Mbps speed, and full-or half-duplex mode.  
The mixed-media capability in the modular slot is ideal for upgrading existing  
Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated. The fiber-built-  
in media capability provides future-proof fiber cabling for the LAN structure. The  
secured management features offer a multiple options to provide a secure Network  
solution.  
Example 1 : Magnum 6K32T Switch for a VLAN application  
Equipped with lots of advanced management features, the Magnum 6K32T  
Managed switch is able to handle a VLAN application and provide security and  
performance in an Ethernet network center. A secure VLAN-enabled network is simply  
an administratively-configured broadcast domain. The network administrator determines  
which ports and nodes are in which broadcast domains by setting membership profiles

for each of them. The Magnum 6K32T’s VLAN capability can be configured in two  
types of virtual LANs; Port-based VLANs and Tag-based VLANs.  
In an office environment where departments such as Finance, Engineering,  
R&D, and Marketing need to each keep a secure LAN, the 6K32T’s VLAN feature will  
prevent traffic cross-over among traffic domains and thus keep sensitive data and  
information controlled. The Managed Magnum 6K32T equipped with VLAN capability  
is ideal for any application where a secure VLAN to multiple departments is needed.  
The modularity of the 6K32T Managed Switch makes it an attractive choice for  
use in applications with LAN connections to an organization’s multiple site offices. The  
different offices can be easily connected together with the Fiber ports supported by the  
Magnum 6K32T Switch. A main NT-server in a secure area protected from earthquake or  
fire hazards can be connected to one or two full duplex Gigabit Fiber ports.  
Full-duplex future proof fiber media can easily connect long distance subnets  
and provide a stable secure network to all applications. The SNMP management  
capability of the Magnum 6K32T Switch helps create a database of all the network  
subnets to easily manage the network. Secure web-based management is also included,  
with authentication and encryption to keep out even determined trouble-makers.  
Example 2. In another Telecommunications storage data application, a secure managed  
switch is required to provide an Ethernet backbone for a diversified network with  
multiple subnets. The backbone consists of high speed LAN segments supported by  
1000Mbps full-duplex future-proof fiber media to provide secure long distance LAN  
connections. The entire network is sharing a higher bandwidth Gigabit-enabled data-  
mining server for the vital database located in a separate secured building. The copper  
ports are required for multiple subnets inside the building. The entire spread network is  
managed to provide easy, detectable, uninterrupted support through a viewable SNMP  
monitor.

Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch  
Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
The Magnum 6K32T Managed Switch equipped with copper and optional dual Gigabit  
fiber ports on modular slots provide an economical and seamless solution to the  
requirements. The user-configurable Magnum 6K32T provides an extra boost to the  
network requirements by providing copper/fiber media along with the higher bandwidth  
support of 10/100 and 1000Mb. The user can utilize the SNMP feature equipped with  
VLAN, Port security, 802.1X, and other security features to provide a secure and stable  
network as per the requirement  
The 6K32T Managed Switch with NEBS Level 3 compliance and management  
flexibility allows the user more than one configuration alternative. The user has an  
advantage by fulfilling the present requirements as well as benefiting from the multiple  
choices of modules to support future expansion as the network evolves. The dual Gigabit  
port option in the modular slot boosts the bandwidth for high speed to support the peak  
traffic and minimize congestion.  
Example 3 Redundant Application (6K32TRC)  
In a redundant application for high network availability where a rack-  
mountable managed switch with over 24 ports is required with dense port features,  
Magnum 6K32T’s equipped with redundant LAN features like S-Ring, RSTP, Link-  
Loss-Learn and various security features are easily qualified for the application. The -  
48VDC input power option with Dual Source is especially useful in telecom central  
offices.  
The Magnum 6K32T with two Gigabit ports in the modular slot allows it to  
connect into a Gigabit mesh structure with an RSTP and S-Ring combination used in a  
no-single-point-of-failure self-healing LAN topology along with a ring of multiple 6K25s  
at the edge to allow the system to efficiently recover from a fault in the network. The  
industry standard Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol 802.1d is used in the top eight switches  
(see diagram below) to perform GB mesh fault recovery, whereas the bottom ring setup  
has been configured with S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn for faster recovery in a big ring.  
A redundant LAN setup not only provides a reliable recovery solution from  
network faults, but also improves operating up-time to simplify maintenance, save  
money and recover valuable time. In a critical application where secure data has been  
stored in a data mining storage facility, a redundant network provides a more secure  
solution.  
The figure below has Magnum 6K32T’s and 6K25’s connected over the gigabit mesh  
structure for a high bandwidth secure redundant LAN setup.

3.0  
Installation  
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the  
following precautions:  
1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment  
must be less than or equal to 55C FOR 6K32T and 60C for 6K32TRC.  
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, adequate airflow must be maintained for proper and  
safe operation.  
3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
system, placement of the equipment must not load unevenly or  
overload the rack system.  
4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent  
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.  
5.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack  
assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and  
uncompromised earthing path.  
6.) 24vdc, -48vdc, and 125vdc must be installed in restricted  
access locations.  
7.) CB-Circuit breaker of 10Amps should shown on top of Rack.  
This section describes installation of the Magnum 6K32T Switches, as well as  
connection of the various Ethernet media types.  
3.1  
Locating Magnum 6K32T Switches  
The location of a Magnum 6K32T Switch is dependent on the physical layout  
of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where groups  
of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each other. These  
Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but  
because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top unit. The  
compact size allows it to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either  
shelf of wall-mounted (see Section 3.3.1 below).  
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet  
(2 meters) of the intended Magnum 6K32T site. The  
rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K32T will normally  
protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace  
setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually  
monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the  
unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan on the  
left side while the unit is in operation. See figure below.

3.2  
Connecting Ethernet Media  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches are specifically  
designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch  
unit. This is accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which  
can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a  
description of the PMs.  
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE  
802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:

Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”  
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber  
connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6K32T & 6K32TRC module,  
MST-type port.  
1. Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the  
tips of the connectors on the PM. Save these dust caps for future use.  
2. Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue  
dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.  
Note:  
One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color  
bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the  
associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.  
3. Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum PM to the  
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of  
the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.  
4. Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post on the PM) to the Transmit  
(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.  
5. The LINK LED on the front of the PM will illuminate when a proper connection  
has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the unit). If LINK is  
not lit after the cable is connected, the normal cause is improper cable polarity.  
Swap the fiber cables at the PM connector to try to remedy this situation.

3.2.2  
Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"  
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with SC-type fiber  
connectors, i.e., using 6K-MSC or 6K-SSC (single mode) etc.  
When connecting fiber media to SC connectors, simply snap the two square male  
connectors into the SC female jacks of the 6KPM until they click and are secure.  
3.2.3  
Connecting Single-Mode Fiber Optic  
When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port  
connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode fiber cable  
(9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for multi-mode where xx/xx  
are the diameters of the core and the core plus the cladding respectively). Single-mode  
fiber allows full bandwidth at longer distances, and may be used to connect 10 Mb nodes  
up to 10 Km apart, or 18Km with the 6K-SSC.  
The same procedure for multi-mode fiber applies to single-mode fiber  
connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2.2 above.  
3.2.4  
Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45,CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or Shielded)  
The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC can be connected to the  
following two media types: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. CAT 5 cables should be used  
when making 100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports,  
CAT 3 may be used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair  
cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).

NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mb  
and 100Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a  
mixed-speed network, since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for either 10 and  
100Mb/s.  
The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-  
TX twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both  
unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.  
1. Using standard twisted pair media, 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

Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch  
Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
NOTE: for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI  
advises that, for substation applications, the RJ-45 ports are intended for  
connectivity to other communication equipment such as routers or  
telecommunication multiplexers installed in close proximity (i.e., less than 2  
meters or 6.5ft) to the 6K32. It is not recommended to use these ports in  
substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which  
could produce kigh (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR)  
during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6K32 passes the 1613specifications  
for zero packet loss with fiber ports & with RJ45 ports used as indicated here.  
3.2.5  
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT-5e or better, Unshielded or Shielded)  
The RJ-45 1000BASE-TX Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
can be connected via copper media with the following minimum specifications;  
1000BASE-T, CAT-5e, or for better results, 100-ohm UTP shielded twisted pair (STP)  
balanced cable. The CAT-5e or the more effective 100-ohm UTP shielded twisted pair  
(STP) balanced cable is recommended when making 1000BASE-TX connections. In  
either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328  
ft).

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

Note: It is highly recommended to remove the fiber cable first before removing the SFP  
transceiver for any reason. Not removing the fiber cable first can damage the fiber cable,  
cable connector or optical interfaces. It is advised not to remove and insert a SFP  
transceiver frequently as this may shorten its useful life.  
Note: Always use an ESD wrist strap while handling the SFP transceivers since the  
SFP modules are static sensitive devices.  
Note: The copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver port supports 1000Mb only. It is  
recommended to use a straight-through RJ-45(4-twisted pair) connection while  
connecting to any Server/workstation. While connecting with any Switch/repeater or  
other device, it is recommended to use Crossover RJ-45 (4-twisted pair) category 5 or  
higher cabling. The maximum length supported on copper 1000BASE-T is 100mts (328  
ft.).

Power Budget Calculations for Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC PM’s with  
Fiber Media  
Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to  
compute the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media  
installations using Magnum products, the following equations should be used:  
OPB (Optical Power Budget) = PT(min) - PR(min)  
where PT = Transmitter Output Power, and PR = Receiver Sensitivity  
Worst case OPB = OPB - 1dB(for LED aging) - 1dB(for insertion loss)  
Worst case distance = {Worst case OPB, in dB} / [Cable Loss, in dB/Km]  
where the “Cable Loss” for 62.5/125 and 50/125µm (M.m) is 2.8 dB/km,

the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches. These brackets are popular in the Telco  
industry where they are a standard for Central Office rack-mounting purposes. The 23”  
and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment  
These brackets are rack-mounted in a frame typically accessed in operation from both  
sides.  
The bracket mounting holes in the sides of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
permits it to be mounted in various ways. The same holes fit all three types (19”, ETSI,  
and 23”) of brackets. The mounting for the 23” is illustrated in Figure 3.3.1 below. The  
brackets may be attached flush with the front, or attached in the center for a set-back  
mounting which may reduce cabling torque.  
The optional 23” brackets and the ETSI (21”) brackets each come as a pair in a  
package, along with the necessary screws for attaching the brackets to the sides of the  
Magnum Switch unit. They must be ordered as separate line items.  
3.3.2 Rack-mounting, Reverse version of the Magnum 6K32T’s  
(Not available as of October 2005) The optional Reverse Magnum 6K32T  
Model has all of the cabling (Ethernet cabling, power cabling and console port cabling)  
connectors in the rear, and the status LEDs in the front. The status LEDs that are co-  
incident with the ports are still present there, and a second or dual set of LEDs are used  
for status visibility in the front of the unit, showing the same data.

Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
There are three options of brackets available to mount in the standard 19”  
frame, 23” frame, or ETSI (21”) frame. The 19” brackets are included with each unit, the  
other two may be purchased as separate options.  
With each bracket type, there are three different mounting options as shown in Fig. 3.3.2.  
The case of the Magnum 6K32T has mounting holes prepared for each of the mounting  
arrangements. Users may choose the mounting arrangement most suitable for their  
installation.  
3.4  
Powering the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches incorporate an internal universal  
power supply and have a recessed male IEC connector for the AC power cord at the left-  
rear. A manual power ON-OFF switch is adjacent. A six-foot 115 VAC 60 Hz standard  
power cord is supplied with each unit shipped within the United States and Canada.  
The auto-ranging power supply supports installation environments where the  
AC voltage is from 90 to 260 volts with a power input frequency between 47 and 63 Hz.  
The 32-port units will consume over 30 watts of power typically. When connecting the  
Ethernet cabling, there is no need to power down the unit. Individual segments can be  
connected or disconnected without concern for AC power-related problems or damage to  
the unit.  
Power supply options are available to suit the 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches to  
special high-availability communications and/or heavy industrial-grade applications,  
including:  
*
*
-48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with single DC input,  
-48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with dual-source DC input,  
See the Appendices of this manual for more details. Use an RFQ for other variations.  
3.4.1 Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps  
The Alarm Contacts feature, optional on Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC’s,  
provides two Form C Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two  
sets of status monitoring wires at the green terminal block. When this option is present,  
the terminal block for Alarm Contacts is part of the Power Input panel in the Magnum  
6K32T & 6K32TRC case. The AC or DC power input connection is in the same panel. A  
manual On-Off Switch for power to the unit is not available on 6K32T & 6K32TRC units  
with the Alarm Contacts option, as these two features occupy the same space in the case.  
The first NC Alarm Contact (top position) is a “Software Alarm”, operated  
by user settings in the MNS-6K software. The user can disable the Software Alarm  
feature with a software configuration command if desired. When the Software Alarm is  
enabled, the Form C Normally Closed (NC) contact is held close during normal software  
operation. A user-defined software malfunction, such as an SNMP Trap or a Software

Security violation or an S-Ring Fault, causes the contact to open and thus trigger an  
alarm in the user’s monitoring system  
The second (bottom position) NC Alarm Contact is held close when there is  
power on the main board inside of the 6K32T & 6K32TRC. This provides a “Hardware  
Alarm” because the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an  
external power down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch. Useful info. about Alarm contacts:  
1. There is four terminal block (1,2,3,4)provided next to AC/DC power supply  
2. The top two pins (1,2) are software operated  
3. The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated  
4. By default it is NC (normally closed)  
5. The software operation needs to be enabled and set to get the Alarm traps. For detailed  
information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please  
reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19th).  
3.5  
6K32T & 6K32TRC Port Module (6KPM) Installation  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches are normally received from the  
factory with 24 ports fixed and one required 6KPM module installed. There may be  
situations where 6KPM cards need to be added or replaced. In cases where a 6KPM  
module needs to be added in the modular slot, the faceplate for an available front-  
mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes this operation.  
3.5.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs  
STOP!!!  
Be sure the power cord and connections  
for all powers single or dual, is unplugged  
from the chassis before attempting to remove  
and/or replace any PM cards.  
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit  
and will void the warranty.  
Caution- Avoid Static Discharge: Opening of the 6K32TRC chassis can only be  
performed by trained service persons. The port modules (like most  
electronic equipment) are sensitive to static discharge. Use proper ESD  
measures when handling port modules.  
Step 1. Make sure the 6KPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it  
properly. Each 6KPM Card package for field installation contains  
(Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8 stand  
offs for the Granddaughter board, six #4-40 Pan-Head screws along with a

Front panel face plate package. The Front panel faceplate package includes 3  
retainer brackets and six #2-56 flat head screws.  
NOTE: Every 6KPM Card package comes with their matching Daughter and  
Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPM card should not work properly if  
mixed with other Fiber combo 6KPM card packages. Always install the PM  
module separately one by one to avoid the mixing.  
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.  
Step 2. Remove Chassis Cover  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC chassis are combined with top, bottom and  
front panel parts and assembled together with the help of 17 Philips-head  
screws. There are 5 screws located on the front-bottom and 3 at rear-top of the  
unit and one each on the front and rear sides. First Remove the front panel  
screws (total 12) as shown in the fig 3.5.1a. Once these are removed, the front  
panel can be easily pulled out to the front. The top cover can be easily pulled  
off to the front from the chassis base, as shown in the Fig. 3.4.1b. When the  
chassis top cover has been removed, the interior of the unit is exposed.

Follow the step 8 to complete the process successfully.  
NOTE:1. If the modular slot has not being used and moved to other unit, the empty  
slot must be covered with Blank cover, to maintain proper air-inflow inside the unit  
and keep off from dust and other unavoidable substance, otherwise can cause a failure  
in the Switch.  
2. If the PM module in the modular slot is not being installed properly or loose in  
connection, the MNS-6K management software will not boot-up properly and a error  
will generate as –{ failed to read register device type (offset 0x1600) on slot “A or B or  
C or D”}, whichever the slot has been used.  
3. Always boot-up the Switch after any new module installation on modular slot to  
confirm the successful installation, before placing the chassis cover.

Installation and User Guide 05/07)

OPERATION  
This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K32T &  
6K32TRC Switch.  
4.1  
Switching Functionality  
A Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC provides switched connectivity at Ethernet  
wire-speed among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC support 10/100Mbs  
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 6K32T & 6K32TRC, but local traffic on a port will not consume any  
of the bandwidth on any other port.  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC units are plug-and-play devices. There is no  
software configuring necessary to be done for basic operation at installation or for  
maintenance. The only hardware configuration settings are user options for an UP-LINK  
Switch (resides inside the unit) on the 6K8-RJ45 (modular port). Optional Half / Full  
duplex mode and 10 or 100Mbps selection for the switched ports must be configured  
through MNS-6K software per unit as per the requirement. The internal functions of both  
are described below.  
Filtering and Forwarding  
Each time a packet arrives on one of the switched ports, the decision is taken to  
either filter or to forward the packet. Packets whose source and destination addresses are  
on the same port segment will be filtered, constraining them to that one port and relieving  
the rest of the network from having to process them. A packet whose destination address  
is on another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent  
to the other ports where it is not needed. Traffic needed for maintaining the operation of  
the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) are being forwarded to all ports.  
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches operate in the store-and-forward  
switching mode, which eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be  
achieved when there is heavy traffic on the network.  
Address Learning  
All Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC units have address table capacities of 4K  
node addresses suitable for use in larger networks. They are self-learning, so as nodes are  
added, removed or moved from one segment to another, the 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch  
automatically keeps up with node locations.

4.3  
Auto-Cross (MDIX)Auto-negotiation, for 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports  
The 24 RJ-45 ports on Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC support auto-cross (MDI or  
MDIX) in the auto-negotiation mode according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. No  
crossover cables are needed when connecting the 6K32T & 6K32TRC’s 10/100  
copper ports to other unmanaged switches, legacy hubs, managed switches, media-  
converters etc. Please note that there can be conditions with managed switches  
where the switch manager fixes the port settings via software, and the result of the  
auto-negotiation is changed in the managed switch by the manager commands. In  
such cases, the 10/100 speed or the F/H mode may be affected, but auto-cross in the  
6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches will still work. The auto-cross function can be  
disabled, if fixed the port at 10 or 100Mb through software..  
The Managed Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Fast Ethernet copper ports can be  
set for either fixed 100Mb speed or N-way auto-negotiation per the IEEE802.3u  
standard. The selection is made via 6K-MNS software. The factory default setting  
is for auto-negotiation. At 100Mb-fixed speed, the user may select half- or full-  
duplex mode by 6K-MNS Software for each RJ-45 port separately. For detail  
information see Section 7 (Port Setup) of Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
Software user guide (MNS-6K) . One frequently-used application for the Managed  
6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch copper ports is to connect one of them using a fiber  
media converter to another Switch in the network backbone, or to some other  
remote 100Mb device. In this case, it is desirable to operate the fiber link at 100Mb  
speed, and at either half- or full duplex mode depending on the capabilities of the

remote device. Standard commercially available Fast Ethernet media converters  
mostly do not support auto-negotiation properly, and require that the switched port  
to which they are connected be at 100Mb fixed speed. Attachment to 10/100 auto-  
negotiation ports typically will not work properly. The 6K32T & 6K32TRC  
Switch’s RJ-45 ports handle this situation by configuring the ports as per desire  
through MNS software port settings and can check the port status of each port after  
the change.  
When Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC RJ-45 copper ports are set for auto-  
negotiation and are connected to another auto-negotiating device, there are 4 different  
speed and F/H modes possible depending on what the other device supports. These are:  
(1) 100Mb full-duplex, (2) 100Mb half-duplex, (3) 10 Mb full-duplex and (4) 10 Mb  
half-duplex.  
General information -  
Auto-negotiation per-port for 802.3u-compliant switches occurs when:  
-- the devices at both ends of the cable are capable of operation at either 10  
Mb or 100Mb speed and/or in full- or half-duplex mode, and can  
send/receive auto-negotiation pulses, and . . .  
-- the second of the two connected devices is powered up*, i.e., when  
LINK is established for a port, or  
-- the LINK is re-established on a port after being lost temporarily.  
NOTE Some NIC cards only auto-negotiate when the computer system  
that they are in is powered up. These are exceptions to the “negotiate at  
LINK – enabled” rule above, but may be occasionally encountered.  
The auto-negotiation logic will attempt to operate in descending order and will normally  
arrive at the highest order mode that both devices can support at that time. (Since auto-  
negotiation is potentially an externally controlled process, the original “highest order  
mode” result can change at any time depending on network changes that may occur). If  
the device at the other end is not an auto-negotiating device, the 6K32T & 6K32TRC’s

RJ-45 ports will try to detect its idle signal to determine 10 or 100 speed, and will default  
to half-duplex at that speed per the IEEE standard.  
When operating in 100Mb half-duplex mode, cable distances and hop-counts  
may be limited within that collision domain. The Path Delay Value (PDV) bit-times must  
account for all devices and cable lengths within that domain. For Magnum 6K32T &  
6K32TRC Fast Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time  
delay is 50BT.  
4.4  
Flow-control, IEEE 802.3x standard  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches incorporate a flow-control mechanism  
for Full-Duplex mode. The purpose of flow-control is to reduce the risk of data loss if a  
long burst of activity causes the switch to save frames until its buffer memory is full.  
This is most likely to occur when data is moving from a 100Mb port to a 10 Mb port and  
the 10Mb port is unable to keep up. It can also occur when multiple 100Mb ports are  
attempting to transmit to one 100Mb port, and in other protracted heavy traffic situations.  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches implement the 802.3x flow control  
(non-blocking) on Full-Duplex ports, which provides for a “PAUSE” packet to be  
transmitted to the sender when the packet buffer is nearly filled and there is danger of  
lost packets. The transmitting device is commanded to stop transmitting into the 6K32T  
& 6K32TRC Switch port for sufficient time to let the Switch reduce the buffer space  
used. When the available free-buffer queue increases, the Switch will send a “RESUME"  
packet to tell the transmitter to start sending the packets. Of course, the transmitting  
device must also support the 802.3x flow control standard in order to communicate  
properly during normal operation.  
Note: When in Half-Duplex mode, the 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch implements a back-  
pressure algorithm on 10/100 Mb ports for flow control. That is, the switch prevents  
frames from entering the device by forcing a collision indication on the half-duplex ports  
that are receiving. This temporary “collision” delay allows the available buffer space to  
improve as the switch catches up with the traffic flow.

6KPM Module Description  
An important feature of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC is the use  
of one Port Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber  
media in the modular slot. Since the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches  
have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 6 or 8-port interfaces are  
designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed.  
Each 6K32T & 6K32TRC PM can provide two, four, six or eight ports for  
connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media.  
For a list of 6K32T & 6K32TRC Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2  
Each 6K 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 (=) as other ports.

ports for cascaded connection. This feature eliminates the need for a special twisted pair  
crossover cable when connecting to a hub or another switch.  
Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received, a  
Link (LK) LED that indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit, a  
FDX/HDX LED to indicate full-duplex mode when lit (or half-duplex when off), and a  
“10/100” LED indicating 100Mb when lit (or 10 Mbps when off).  
Important Note: The 10/100 RJ-45 ports are supported with Auto-negotiation and  
Auto-crossover (MDIX), which allow the RJ-45 ports to automatically Link with any RJ-  
45 device and eliminate the use of cross-over cable.  
The RJ-45 pins normally (TP crossover switch) are per the standard for hubs-to-  
users twisted pair wiring: 1 = receive+, 2 = receive-, 3 = transmit+, 6 = transmit-,  
other pins not used. When the TP crossover push-button is UP, the pins of the RJ-  
45 port are per the standard for up-links using twisted pair wiring, i.e., the transmit  
and the receive pairs are exchanged: 1 = transmit+, 2 = transmit-, 3 = receive+, 6 =  
receive-, other pins not used.  
NOTE: for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI  
advises that, for substation applications, the RJ-45 ports are intended for  
connectivity to other communication equipment such as routers or  
telecommunication multiplexers installed in close proximity (i.e., less than 2  
meters or 6.5ft) to the 6K32. It is not recommended to use these ports in  
substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which  
could produce kigh (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR)  
during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6K32 passes the 1613specifications  
for zero packet loss with fiber ports & with RJ45 ports used as indicated here.

The PoE RJ-45 ports act similar to regular RJ-45 ports, except they have  
capability of providing power on each port to power up the PD devices, per the  
IEEE802.3af PoE standard. The Power Pass-through PoE modules are totally dependent  
upon the powerful -48VDC input power supply to support more RJ-45 (10/100) ports.  
Each port requires at least 15watts to power up the PoE PD devices. In this Fig. the top 8-

The LEDs on 6KP8-RJ45- PoE modules are slightly different compared to  
regular (non-PoE) RJ-45 modules as shown in Fig 2. When the PoE port is in use, the  
PoE LED is ON when connected properly to an 803.af compliant PD device on that port.  
When non-PoE devices are connected, the PoE LED is OFF. PoE does not affect  
operation of Ethernet data traffic.  
LINK and ACTIVITY LEDS are combined on the PoE modules into one LED  
that is marked as LINK/ACT, as shown in the diagram.  
PoE LEDs Summary  
For PoE devices, each RJ-45 PoE port supports only 802.3af complaint  
devices. The PoE LED is ON when the attached PD is drawing power from the  
port.  
For non-PoE devices connected, the PoE port will act as a normal RJ-45 port  
and the PoE LED is OFF. No power is being sent out from the port.  
The PoE ports in Magnum 6K’s with 48VDC power input act as a pass-  
through, so the 48VDC power source must be strong enough to provide power  
to the 6K switch and to all the 8 RJ-45 ports with PD devices connected (up to  
15 watts per PoE port).  
In the case where the 48VDC power in not internally connected and no power  
is coming to the PoE ports for some reason, all the PoE port LEDs are ON  
simultaneously to indicate a trouble condition. The ports will still operate  
properly for data traffic.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
All Magnum Ethernet products are designed to provide reliability and  
consistently high performance in all network environments. The installation of a  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch is a straightforward procedure (see  
INSTALLATION, Section 3.0); the operation is also straightforward and is discussed in  
Section 4.  
Should problems develop during installation or operation, this section is  
intended to help locate, identify and correct these types of problems. Please follow the  
suggestions listed below prior to contacting your supplier. However, if you are unsure of  
the procedures described in this section or if the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch is  
not performing as expected, do not attempt to repair the unit; instead contact your  
supplier for assistance or contact GarrettCom Customer Support.  
6.1  
Before Calling for Assistance  
1.  
If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the unit, refer back to  
the Installation Section of the applicable chapter of this manual. Also check  
to make sure that the various components of the network are interoperable.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly  
connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way  
impaired during installation. (About 90% of network downtime can be  
attributed to wiring and connector problems.)  
Make sure that an AC power cord is properly attached to each Magnum 6K32T  
& 6K32TRC Switch unit. Be certain that each AC power cord is plugged into

APPLICATIONS FOR DC POWERED SWITCHES  
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Fiber Switches are easily installed in a variety of  
applications where -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power is used as the primary power  
source. The- 48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power configuration provides an Ethernet  
networking solution utilizing a special power supply in a Managed Switch.  
The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry,  
where it is common for facilities to operate on -48VDC power. Such companies include  
regular and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and  
other communication companies. In addition, many high availability equipment services,  
such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other  
facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power  
failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and  
operations monitoring equipment.  
The 24VDC and 125VDC solution are particularly useful in the Industrial  
environment, where it is common facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The  
125VDC solution is mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations,  
electrical generating plants, etc. The 24VDC applications are mainly in the Industrial  
environment, such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc.

The actual connection procedure is very straightforward. Simply connect the  
leads to the Magnum unit, beginning with ground. Ensure that each lead is securely  
tightened.  
Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K32T & 6K32TRC unit has a floating  
ground, so the user may elect to Ground either + or - terminal to suit the customer’s  
use.  
Before connecting hot lines to the Terminal Block of –48VDC, 24VDC or  
125VDC, always use a digital voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the power  
supply and determine the lead which is more “+ve potential”. The more “+ve” voltage  
lead from 48V or –48V supply must be connected to the post labeled “+”.  
An ON-OFF manual switch is optional for DC power. This can be used to cut  
off power connections and as a RESET for the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch.

C3.0 DUAL-SOURCE OPTION, THEORY OF OPERATION  
The Dual-Source DC power option is designed using diodes inside of the  
Installation and User Guide 05/07)  
chassis on each DC power input line. A diode is placed in each of the four input lines  
(behind the four external power connection terminals) so that power from an external  
source can only flow into the unit. This allows the unit to operate whenever DC power is  
correctly applied to either or both of the two inputs  
C4.0  
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE DUAL-SOURCE DESIGN  
a) The Switch unit can receive power from either input, “A” or “B”. The hub will normally draw  
its power from the DC source with the highest voltage at a given time.  
b) The Switch unit will not allow power to flow from a higher voltage input to a lower voltage  
input, i.e. the two DC power sources are not mixed together by the hub.  
c) When one correct DC input is present, the Switch will receive power if the other DC input is  
absent, or even if it is connected with reverse polarity or shorted or grounded.  
d) Reverse polarity connections, if they should accidentally occur on either input, will not damage  
the Switch or power supply internally (nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply)  
because of the blocking action of the diodes. This is true even if one input connection is  
reversed while the Switch is operating from the other source.  
e) The Switch will not receive power (and will not work) when both inputs are simultaneously  
absent or are both incorrectly connected.  
C5.0  
INSTALLATION  
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC, 24VDC and  
125VDC dual source leads to the -48VDC, 24VDC 7 125VDC power terminal block on
