The 4port @10Mb ST fiber modules behave the same as the 8@100Mb ST
fiber modules except for the 10Mb speed. For port numbering, ports 1, 2, 5, 6 are present,
ports 3, 4. 7, 8 are not present. The default setup on the 10Mb fiber module is half-
duplex, which allows the Magnum 6K32T Switch to connect to any 10Mb hub or media
converter or almost any other device with a 10Mb fiber Ethernet port. User mode control
per port through the MNS software is the same as the other 6K32T modules. The fiber
ports support fiber cabling distances according to the 10BASE-FL standard, i.e., 2km
distance for multi-mode fiber. (Single-mode for up to 10Km distance may be available as
a special order configuration).
2.2.6 Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32’s offer wide options for Gigabit speed with
multiple choices for the modular slot. The new Magnum 6K32T can be configured with
four Gigabit ports (copper or Fiber) maximum. The Gigabit port option for the modular
slot comes in a couple of different configurations. The two Gigabit port modules have
been offered as GBPM-2OTX (fiber or RJ-45), whereas the single Gigabit module comes
in flavors of G+4(10/100 RJ-45 ports) or G+2 (100Mb fiber ports) as shown below in the
figure.

The 6K32T modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard GBICs
to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both multi-
mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70)km fiber options, and for Gigabit copper
as well with new models appearing often.
The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K32T are normally
set (factory default) to operate at AUTO mode for best fiber distance and performance.
The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX transceivers
are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards.
There are two LEDs mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber
