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) is forwarded to all ports. 

 

The Magnum DS60’s switched port operates 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 switched port at Magnum DS60 units have address table capacity of 8K node 

addresses, and 1MB dynamically allocated packet buffers, suitable for use in small and medium 

size networks. They are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed or moved from 

one segment to another, the DS60’s switched port automatically keeps up with node locations.   

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

frequently-used addresses.  To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.  

PWR   :  Steady ON when power applied. 

COL  100 (port 1-5)  : Collision, flashing when collision occurs on ports 1-5.                       

at 100Mbps. 

                COL  10 (port 1-5)    : Collision, flashing when collision occurs on ports 1-5                

at 10Mbps. 

                LK/RX (port 1-5)      : Steady ON when twisted pair link is operational, 

   Activity , flashing when port is receiving data. 

                100 (port 6)                : Speed is at 100Mbps .  

                 FDX (port 6)             : Port is at Full-Duplex.  

The FF-A slide switch 

allows users to configure Port 6 as either a 

Full fixed at 10/100 port or act as an Auto-

negotiation Ethernet port.  It is located 

underneath Port 6 on the right front panel of 

the Magnum DS60C. See figure 2.2.3 for 

location of the switch relative to Port 6.
