Magnum 6K32 Managed Switch
Address Learning
All Magnum 6K32 units have address table capacities of 4K node addresses
suitable for use in larger networks. They are self-learning, so as nodes are added,
removed or moved from one segment to another, the 6K32 Switch automatically keeps
up with node locations.
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.

Status LEDs
For all Magnum 6K32 models :
PWR
: Power LED, ON when external power is applied to the unit.
LK
: Steady ON, Link status for 10 Mbps and 100Mbps operation.
ACT
: ON with port activity for 10 Mbps and 100Mbps operation.
F/H
: Full / Half duplex LED, ON when the port is running full
duplex, OFF for half duplex.
100/10
: Speed LED, ON when the speed is 100Mbps , OFF when the
speed is 10 Mbps

Up-link Cross-over Switch on RJ-45 port modules, for port#1 only
The modular slot provided on Magnum 6K32 managed switch can be filled
with 6KP8-RJ45 port module among all the multiple choices of port modules. The upper
part of the copper port module (6KP8-RJ45) has a manual Up-link switch, located on the
inside of the unit on the port module board next to the RJ45 port # 1 which it controls. It
enables the port's cable to be cascaded (X) to a 10/100Mb repeater or switching hub in
the network. The manual Up-link switch position is configured as (=) position as default
factory setting, where used for all-copper module or combo modules.

Auto-Cross (MDIX)Auto-negotiation, for 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports
The 24 RJ-45 ports on Magnum 6K32 supports auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in the
auto-negotiation mode according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. No crossover cables
are needed when connecting the 6K32's 10/100 copper ports to other unmanaged
switches, legacy hubs, managed switches, media-converters etc. Please note that
there can be conditions with managed switches where the switch manager fixes the
port settings via software, and the result of the auto-negotiation is changed in the
managed switch by the manager commands. In such cases, the 10/100 speed or the
F/H mode may be affected, but auto-cross in the 6K32 Switches will still work. The
auto-cross function can be disabled, if fixed the port at 10 or 100Mb through
software..
