Magnum 6K32F/FR/FC/FRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (05/08)
designed to meet the future demand of Ethernet requirements with cost-effective secure
solutions. The Magnum 6K32F is also available in a Reverse model option, where the
LEDs are on the front and the available ports along with the power supply area found on
the rear side. This configuration is mostly used for the carrier-class market.
The modules which may be configured and used in the modular slots of the
Magnum 6K32F Series are described here.
The Magnum 6K32F is preloaded with robust and intuitive MNS-6K Managed
Network Software to handle industry-standard IEEE 802.1p QOS prioritization and non-
blocking wire speed on all ports. It provides high performance switching services for
both “smooth” streaming and “bursty” data traffic. For redundant LANs, it offers S-ring,
RS-Ring, Link-Loss-Learn, STP and RSTP. Security features include SNMPv3,
SSL/SSH, 802.1X, , Port Security, and Tagged VLANs. See MNS-6K
materials for further details about software.

Eight-port SFF fiber modules (6KP8-MTRJ, 6KP8-MLC), 100Mb
fiber

6KP8-MLC or -SLC (right)
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 6K32F Series normally
are set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance and
performance. Using the 6K32F Series MNS software, the user may select full- or half-
duplex mode per-port through the set-up of the software (See the Magnum MNS-6K
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
