This chapter describes each Fiber-Port Module (FPM), including appearance, 

functionality, and status displays. 

This section applies only to FPMs shipped as separate items, i.e., FPMs not 

factory installed in a Magnum 4K-Series FPM slot. 

 

 

Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to 

installing a FPM; notify the carrier of any damage which 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 FPMs 

Installation instructions, with illustrations 

 

   

Remove the FPM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure to keep the 

shipping container should you need to ship any of the FPMs 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. 

An important feature of the Magnum 4K-Series is the use of Fiber-

Port Modules (FPMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber 

media. Since the Magnum 4K-Series Switches have dual-speed capability for 

copper ports, the fiber-port interfaces are designed to support all standard 

Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed.  Each FPM provides one port for 

connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media. 

For a list of Fiber-Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2    

Each FPM is individually described in the following sections.
