    Magnum P80F & P80C Personal Switches negotiating ports. For half- or full duplex selection on the P80F, and Full-fixed and Auto- negotiation selection on the P80, see sections 4.3 and 4.4. The Magnum P80 & P80F Personal Switches provide the switching speed and the reliability to smoothly support multiple workgroups at 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed.

    2.2.2 Magnum P80C chassis with all RJ-45 Copper ports The Magnum P80C chassis houses one main PC board. The power supply unit is external. The front side of the chassis has eight twisted-pair switched ports. Port 2SW has manually-selectable Full-Fixed and Auto-negotiation capability. See section 4.4.

    (up to 40km) fiber cable distances for installation versatility. Ports 2SW (the fiber port) has an “F - H” user-selectable manual switch. When set in the “F” position, it forces full-duplex mode. When set in the “H” position, it forces half-duplex mode, still at 100Mbps speed.
  • Page 13: Frame Buffering And Latency

    When the 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 packets to cause “flow control”.
  • Page 14: Features And Benefits

    (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.

    “stack” connection to another P80F or P80C for expansion. Installation is “Plug and Play”, operation is transparent to software The Magnum P80F & P80C operates as a hardware switch, only forwarding those packets from each domain that are needed on the other domains. Internal address tables are self-learning, enabling users to change port connections or 10/100 domains without affecting operations.
  • Page 16 Example 2. Magnum P80C The Magnum P80C fits very well in a small business experiencing a need to scale its LAN quickly and cost effectively. With its Half / Full duplex switching capability, the P80C provides a very economical high bandwidth solution at each copper port.

    Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum P80F & P80C site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum P80F & P80C will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the top surface to visually monitor the status LEDs.
