CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches
eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when there is heavy
traffic on the network.
Switching, Address Learning
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series units have address table capacity of 2K
node addresses, and are suitable for use in large networks. They are self-learning, so that as
nodes are added or removed or moved from one segment to another, the CS14- and CSN14-
Series switch automatically keeps up with node locations.
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of new
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.
