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.  

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  

Auto-Cross (MDIX)Auto-negotiation, for 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports 

 

The 24 RJ-45 ports on Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC support 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 6K32T & 6K32TRC’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 

6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches will still work. The auto-cross function can be 

disabled, if fixed the port at 10 or 100Mb through software.. 

The Managed Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Fast Ethernet copper ports can be 

set for either fixed 100Mb speed or N-way auto-negotiation per the IEEE802.3u 

standard. The selection is made via 6K-MNS software.  The factory default setting 

is for auto-negotiation.  At 100Mb-fixed speed, the user may select half- or full-

duplex mode by  6K-MNS Software for each RJ-45 port separately. For detail 

information see Section 7 (Port Setup) of Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC 

Software user guide (MNS-6K) . One frequently-used application for the Managed 

6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch copper ports is to connect one of them using a fiber 

media converter to another Switch in the network backbone, or to some other 

remote 100Mb device.  In this case, it is desirable to operate the fiber link at 100Mb 

speed, and at either half- or full duplex mode depending on the capabilities of the
