The Magnum 6K32 is a 19” rack-mountable Ethernet Switch with fixed 24 

10/100 RJ-45 ports and a modular slot (8 ports max.) for configuration flexibility. The 

modular slot, shown on the right side below, may be configured with any of  a large 

selection of fiber and copper port types and combinations of types, typically eight ports 

module max., but sometimes six (4+2) or four(2+2) or (4+4) ports or even one (G+4) or 

(G+2) or two Gb (GBPMV-2OTX)  port module. The modular slot may be configured 

with a Gb module that accepts GBICs.  The port types configurable using the modular 

slots allows the 6K32 to efficiently serve a large variety of applications, even those using 

some fiber media. The Magnum 6K32 port modules are normally factory installed, but 

may be changed or added in the field. (See Section 5) Status LEDs are part of each port 

module and are viewable when connecting the Ethernet media. A “regular” rack- 

 

mount 6K32 is shown in Figure 2.2.1a. On “Reverse” rack-mount models, all the ports 

and power supply are on the rear part of the box, whereas the 2

nd

 set of the dual LEDs 

(front and back) for port status are in the front. Of course, with the web based 

management option or by the use of SNMPc 3

rd

 party software, the port status data can 

also seen through GUI software on remote computers and terminals.   

 Designed for use in Carrier Class and Industrial networks with some segments 

requiring Gigabit backbone interconnections among network centers, the managed 

Magnum 6K32 is easy to deploy, manage and maintain. Addresses of attached nodes are 

automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network 

changes and expansions to provide pug-n-play operation.  

The modules that may be configured and used in Slot A are described here.
