to the other ports where it is not needed. Traffic needed for maintaining the un-

interrupted operation of the network (such as occasional multi-cast packets) is forwarded 

to all ports. 

 

The Magnum 6KQ 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 6KQ 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 6KQ Switch automatically keeps up 

with node locations.   

An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor for 

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) and Auto-negotiation, for RJ-45 ports 

 

The RJ-45 ports independently support auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in 

auto-negotiation mode and will work properly with all the other connected devices 
with RJ-45 ports whether they support Auto-negotiation (e.g 10Mb Hub, media 
converter) or fixed mode at 10Mb or 100Mb Half/Full Duplex(managed switch) or 
not. No cross-over cable is required while using the 6KQ’s copper port to other 
devices. Operation is according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.  

The Managed 6KQ’s Fast Ethernet copper ports can be set for either fixed 100Mb speed 

or for 10/100 F/H N-way auto-negotiation per the IEEE802.3u standard. The selection is 

made via MNS software.  The factory default setting is for auto-negotiation.  At 10Mb or 

100Mb-fixed speed, the user may select half- or full-duplex mode by MNS Software for 

each RJ-45 port separately. For detail information See Section (2.2.9 at page no.14) of
