The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches are store-and-forward 

switches.  Each frame (or packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before 

forwarding can occur.  This technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid 

length and have the correct CRC, i.e. they are good packets.  This eliminates propagation of 

bad packets, enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.
