(Single-mode for 10km distance may be available as a special order). 2.2.4 Quad-Port Module, RJ-45 (copper) The Magnum Q-Series 1 LK copper port module, model QPM- 2 3 4 ACT x RJ45, provides four 10/100Mb switched. RJ-45 ports.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) The RJ-45 ports run at 10/100Mbps with N-way auto-negotiation capability, whereas the fiber port runs at 100Mbps with half- or full-duplex capability manually selected. The default condition is full-duplex. Internal jumper settings allow technicians to set the 100Mb fiber port to half-duplex mode. (See Section 3.4).
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) Magnum Quad-Series unit to be applied to all traffic loads, even when the traffic activity is unbalanced across the ports. Since the traffic on an operating network is constantly varying in packet density per port and in aggregate density, the Magnum Quad-Series Switches are constantly adapting internally to provide maximum network performance with the least dropped packets.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches 2.3 Features and Benefits Installation and User Guide (06/03) 100Mb switching services for large, high performance Ethernet LANs Magnum Quad-Series Switches provide Fast Ethernet switching on all ports. They perform high speed filter/forward operations on the traffic, giving each port’s segment a full 100Mb (or 10 Mb) of bandwidth.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches 2.4 Applications Installation and User Guide (06/03) Magnum Quad-Series Mixed-Media Switches offer high performance and flexibility, and are easily used in a variety of applications including client/server computing, performance upgrades of departmental networks, and collapsed backbone applications. The Dual-Speed characteristic of the Quad-Series Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet per Q-Series Switch) in a LAN traffic center.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) Example 2 : Magnum 8-port QS5108 In another application, a Switch is needed to provide a Fast Ethernet backbone. The backbone consists of four high-speed LAN segments, each operating over 100MB full-duplex fiber lines.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) Example 3: Magnum 16-port QS5116 In another situation similar to Example 2 above, a larger central Switch is needed to provide for a 6-segment 100Mb fiber Fast Ethernet backbone, and switched copper support for 4 high speed local servers. In addition, the router and two dual-speed hubs need switched copper ports. The total is 14 ports, 6 fiber and 8 copper.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches 3.0 INSTALLATION Installation and User Guide (06/03) 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 500C. 2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and safe operation. 3.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches 3.2 Installation and User Guide (06/03) Connecting Ethernet Media The Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches are specifically designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is accomplished by using a family of Quad-port Modules (QPMs) which can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description of the QPMs. The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 802.3 and 802.

Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) See Section 4.4 for additional information on auto-negotiation functionality. 3.5 Fiber 100Mb ports, internal jumper settings for 100Mb fixed Half- or Full-Duplex, per port The factory (default) setting is for full-duplex on all fiber 100Mbps ports, which is generally popular. FDX works well under most circumstances, but cannot always be depended upon to work as expected.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) configuration(specially along with switches). Under certain conditions,(where the connected device is half duplex and does not support full-duplex; or the connected device does not support full-duplex properly) no full-duplex is better and the internal jumper settings will permit this to be selected on a per-port basis. 3.
Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03) not operate correctly with full-duplex or half-duplex. Examples include hubs that support only half-duplex by default. If auto-negotiation will not function properly in your setup, internal jumpers allow the speed and mode of the Q-Series RJ-45 (copper) quad-ports to be fixed, even if the attached device may or may not support auto-negotiation.
