4.0 OPERATION
4.1 Triple-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.
