Magnum DS50 / DS60s Dual Speed Hubs Installation and User Guide (06/02)will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent to the other ports where it is notneeded. 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 switchingmode, which eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be achieved when thereis heavy traffic on the network.Address LearningThe switched port at Magnum DS60 units have address table capacity of 8K nodeaddresses, and 1MB dynamically allocated packet buffers, suitable for use in small and mediumsize networks. They are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed or moved fromone 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 newfrequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.4.4 LEDsPWR : 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 1-5at 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.4.5 (FF-A) Manual Switch, Port 6 for DS60CThe FF-A slide switchallows users to configure Port 6 as either aFull fixed at 10/100 port or act as an Auto-negotiation Ethernet port. It is locatedunderneath Port 6 on the right front panel ofthe Magnum DS60C. See figure 2.2.3 forlocation of the switch relative to Port 6.“FF-A” SwitchFF A29www GarrettCom com. .
