Magnum 6K25e units are plug-and-play devices.  There is no software 

configuring necessary to be done for basic operation at installation or for maintenance. 

The only hardware configuration settings are user options for an UP-LINK Switch 

(resides inside the unit) on the 6K8-RJ45. Optional Half / Full duplex mode and 10 or 

100Mbps selection for the switched ports must be configured through MNS software per 

unit as per the requirement. The internal functions of both are described below. 

Each time a packet arrives on one of the switched ports, the decision is taken to 

either filter or to forward the packet.  Packets whose source and destination addresses are 

on the same port segment will be filtered, constraining them to that one port and relieving 

the rest of the network from having to process 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. Traffic needed for maintaining the operation of 

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

 

The Magnum 6K25e 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. 

All Magnum 6K25e 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 6K25e 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 upper part of the copper port module has a manual Up-link switch, located
