of the network from processing them.  A packet whose destination address is on another 

port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent to the other 

ports where it is not needed.  Packets needed for maintaining the operation of the network 

(such as occasional multi-cast packets) are forwarded to all ports. 

The Magnum S14-Series Convenient Switches operate in the store-and-forward 

switching mode, which eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be 

achieved when there is heavy traffic on the network. 
 

The Magnum S14-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 S14-Series automatically keeps up 

with node locations.
