4.1Triple-Speed Functionality, and Switching
The Magnum CSG14 Series Converter Switches provide three switched ports. The architecture supports a triple speed-switching environment, with standard auto- negotiation capability.
The switched RJ-45 ports are full- or half-duplex auto-sensing for mode and speed, and auto cross for plug polarity. (See Section 2.2). When the connected device is 10 Mbps, the CSG14s obey all the rules of 10 Mbps Ethernet configurations. The 10 Mbps users can “communicate” with 100Mbps users as well as other 10 Mbps users through the switch. Similarly, the 100Mbps traffic obeys the rules of 100Mbps Ethernet, and can communicate with 10 Mb and 100Mb users.
Magnum CSG14 Series units are plug-and-play devices. There is no software configuring to be done at installation or for maintenance. The only hardware configuration settings are user options for port #2, to configure it FF/AN. The internal functions of both are described below.
