2.2 Product Description - Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch

Magnum™ 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches provide configurability in Heavy

Duty mobile networking applications. The high performance Magnum 6KM base unit

comes with four 10/100 M12 copper ports (either regular or PoE). Up to four 100Mb

fiber ports or up to four more 10/100 M12 copper ports, or combinations, may also be

configured. Two Gigabit ports may also be configured with 10/100/1000 M12 copper

ports or LC-type fiber ports.

M12 military-style port connectors for copper Ethernet ports (instead of RJ45

connectors) make the 6KM distinctive, and withstand the vibration and shock found in

mobile applications. To connect the M12 port cables, simply align the keyed female

connector to the 6KM male connector and twist the threaded lock to secure.

Magnum 6KM comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks

software. (MNS-6K-SECURE optional) See the datasheet for more information at

http://www.garrettcom.com/techsupport/software/datasheets/mns6kds.pdf

Magnum 6KMs are ideal for mobile networks such as on passenger railways,

public service and emergency vehicles, shipboard, mining equipment, and military

vehicles. Applications include in-carriage networking of IP-enabled infotainment

systems, security and surveillance systems, and mobile network devices on trains, light

rail and busses, as well as passenger accommodation technology in a variety of mobile

scenarios. The 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch has the appropriate agency approvals,

including EN50155 and EN50121-4 Railway Applications Standards, IEC61373 for

shock and vibration, NEMA TS-2 for transportation systems outdoors, and DNV

certification for shipboard and other marine applications. Additional certifications

include third-party UL testing for safety, NEBS L3 compliance, and IEC 61850 & IEEE

1613 for power utilities.

The 6KM’s sealed metal case serves as a heat sink, enabling it to operate in the

harshest mobile environments and achieves high EMI noise immunity. The 6KM is

available with optional Conformal Coating for moisture resistance and is rated IP52 for

protection against dust and dirt. The 6KM can be configured with the user’s choice of

power input, including DC at 12V, 24V, 48V, 110V, 125V, 250VDC, and Dual-Source

for each, as well as universal AC.

www GarrettCom com

..

The 6KM managed switches also provides a PoE option via power –inside PoE

base unit (6KMP-48VDC) on Slot A and allows the users to utilize up to 4-ports of PoE

or 8-ports with additional PoE module (P6KM4-4M12) on Slot C to support 802.3af

Powered devices. See details for PoE base unit in sec 5.1.11. The Power Sourcing

Equipment (PSE) is fully compatible with Powered Devices (PD)(e.g wireless access

points, IP phones) that comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. The PoE switch

ports have an auto-sensing algorithm, so that they provide power only to 802.3af, PoE

end devices. PoE is managed by a multi-stage handshake to protect equipment from

damage and to manage power budgets . The PoE ports will discontinue supplying

power when the PoE powered devices are disconnected. This feature supports the

802.3af PoE PSE standard for over-current protection, under-current detection, and fault

protection.

High performance features include non-blocking unicast traffic speed on all

ports and 802.1p QoS Traffic Prioritization. Magnum 6KM switches are “plug-and-play”

and are designed for use in connecting edge devices such as PLCs, IEDs and PoE video

cameras with upstream switches and routers where a mix of bursty data traffic and

priority streaming traffic for video surveillance and cell-tower applications are present.

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches have heavy-duty steel cases and are

readily available with standard Industrial grade DC power. Internal AC power and DC

power input types may be 12V, 24V, 48V, 110, 125V, 250V and dual source DC input is

optional on the 6KM.

Alarm Relay contacts provided on each Magnum 6KM Switch monitor the

hardware and software through traps, providing a record of any losses of power signals

and other user- defined software events. See Section 3.5 for details.

2.2.1 Packet Prioritization, 802.1p QOS

Quality of Service means providing consistent predictable data delivery to

users from datagram paths that go all across a network. As a LAN device, the Magnum

6KM can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet traffic

through its ports and buffers.

The Magnum 6KM switching hardware supports the IEEE 802.1p standard and

fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority to priority tagged

packets according to the 802.1p standard. In addition to hardware support for QOS, the

MNS software (R2) supports two priority queues that can be shared across the eight

levels of defined packet priorities for application-specific priority control by the user

through software configuration settings.

2.2.2 Frame Buffering and Flow Control

Magnum 6KM’s are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or packet) is

loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur. This

technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct

CRC, i.e., are good packets. This eliminates the propagation of bad packets, enabling all

of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switch Installation and User Guide 07/10

9

www GarrettCom com

..

When the Magnum 6KM Switch detects that its free buffer queue space is low,

the Switch sends industry standard (full-duplex only) PAUSE packets out to the devices

sending it packets to cause “flow control”. This tells the sending devices to temporarily

stop sending traffic, which allows the traffic to catch-up without dropping packets. Then,

normal packet buffering and processing resumes. This flow-control sequence occurs in a

small fraction of a second and is transparent to an observer.

Another feature implemented in the Magnum 6KM Switches is a collision-

based flow-control mechanism (when operating at half-duplex only). When the Switch

detects that its free buffer queue space is low, the Switch prevents more frames from

entering by forcing a collision signal on all receiving half-duplex ports in order to stop

incoming traffic.

2.3 Managed Network Software for Magnum 6KM

Magnum 6KM comes with licensed MNS-6K software or MNS-6K-SECURE, which

allow the user to configure the Magnum 6KM as a Managed Switch and implements

security features and other software enabled features.

(NOTE: Magnum 6KM managed switch will work with MNS-6K Rel v4.1.9

firmware or higher version only, or MNS-6K-SECURE v14.1.9 firmware or higher

version only. Using any earlier MNS-6K versions will not support the 6KM

hardware)

at once) performance with standard Managed Network Software. They are typically

used in LAN traffic centers with up to 8 100Mb +2 Gigabit ports for backbone

connections, where managed network services are desired.

 Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization

The Magnum 6KM switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing

priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port-

and application-specific priorities of data, the QoS software may be configured.

 Fiber Ports Built-In

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports,

and support mixes of multi-mode, single-mode, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and

half-duplex; and classic Small Form Factor (SFF) fiber connectors.

 Relay Contacts for monitoring internal power and user-defined software events

Two Alarm Relay contacts monitor basic operations. One is for hardware, and will

signal loss of power internally. The other is software controlled and will signal user-

defined software events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.

 Panel mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temperature

Mounting brackets for vertical or horizontal mounting are included. DIN-Rail

mounting hardware is optional.

 All types of power input, 12, 24, 48, 110, 125, 250VDC and AC

The 6KM can be configured with the user’s choice of DC power supplies: 12V and

24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and for PoE-powered

applications such as IP video surveillance, 110V for railways and 125V or 250V for

substations. An internal AC power supply may also be chosen, universal AC for use

worldwide.

 Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation

Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6KM design provides

for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature dual-rating is 60`C

per UL methods, and 85°C per IEC type test methods.
