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.  

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  

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..
