2.2.3 Eight-Port
Copper
Module, 6K8-RJ45
The 6K32’s 8-port
Copper port module, model 6K8-
RJ45, provides eight 10/100Mb
switched RJ-45 ports. The
10/100Mb switched ports
normally (as a default setting) are independently N-way auto-negotiating for operation at
10 or 100Mb speed in full- or half-duplex mode, i.e., each independently selects a mode
and speed to match the device at the other end of the twisted pair cable. (See Section 4.3
for auto-negotiation details)
On the model 6K8-RJ45 module, there are four LEDs for each port, two in the
connector and two separate. The LK (Link) LED indicates “ready for operation” on that
port when lit. The blinking ACT (Activity) LED indicates receiving Activity on that port
when lit. The 10/100 LED indicates operation at 100Mb speed when ON and at 10 Mb
speed when OFF (when auto-negotiation is not disabled). The FDX/HDX LED is ON to
indicate full-duplex operation and OFF to indicate half-duplex mode. A twisted pair
cable must be connected into an RJ-45 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.
Using the MNS-6K software, the user may disable auto-negotiation and fix the
desired operation of each RJ-45 port. MNS-6K Software allow to select 10Mb or 100Mb
speed and full- or half-duplex mode per-port as per user requirement. (See Magnum
MNS-6K Software Manual for details info). See Section 4.3 for Up-Link switch.
