3. Find the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) markings on the SFP transceiver to
verify the top side of it. Some of the transceiver marks arrow sign for up.
4. Position the SFP transceiver correctly before insertion, and then insert the SFP
transceiver carefully, until the transceiver connector snap into the place in the
socket connector.
5. Connect the Transmit (TX) port on the Magnum PM to the Receive (RX) port
of the remote device. Connect the Receive (RX) port on the PM to the
Transmit (TX) port of the remote device.
The LINK LED on the front of the PM will illuminate and turn Green, when a proper
connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the unit). If
LINK is not lit or OFF after cable connection, the normal cause is improper cable
polarity. Swap the fiber cables at the PM connector and also check the connectivity on
the target device to remedy this situation.
Reconfigure or reboot both of the devices if required.
If connected properly, you can check via (MNS-6K) software for verifying the validity of
SFP Gigabit ports.
3.3 Mounting Dimensions for 6KQE with metal brackets
Each Mangum 6KQE is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to
mount the unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the 6KQE
vertically, as shown on following page, for proper cooling and long-life reliability. It is
also advisable to mount the unit with space for air movement around the top and the
sides, typically a minimum of 1 inch.
Note: The metal brackets supplied, hold the back of the 6KQE unit out from the
panel or wall behind it, creating a rear space of about ¼ inch or 1cm. This allows
air circulation and cooling of the rear part of the case.
For best cooling of the 6KQE, attach the metal brackets to metal (rather than wood
or plastic). Attaching to metal helps conduct heat away from the 6KQE through the
metal brackets and into the metal support structure.
Since the 6KQE has special internal thermal techniques (patent pending) to move
the heat generated by the electronic components inside into the case, the case may
be quite warm to the touch during normal operation.
