Connecting ThickNet 10BASE5 AUI | GarrettCom Magnum 20X specification

3.3.3Connecting ThickNet 10BASE5 (AUI)

Using the steps below as a guide, attach a new or existing 10BASE5 ThickNet drop -

cable directly to the AUI connector on the RPM -AUI port.

1.Plug the male end of the cable into the female AUI connector on the RPM- AUI card.

2.Engage the AUI connector slide lock to insure maximum connectivity.

3. Connect the opposite end of the cable into a network AUI port. (This could be a

network backbone transceiver, a hub or fan-out with an AUI	backbone port, or an
AUI module in a concentrator.)

The Magnum RPM -AUI card may also used for connecting to other Ethernet

devices using standard AUI cabling. In this type of situation, it is important to consider the

AUI segment length to the attached device, including any cascading. (See Section 2.2.3 for

detailed information on the RPM -AUI card, connector pins, and cable lengths.)

Using the steps below as a guide, attach the 10BASE5 drop -cable directly to the

DTE connector on the RPM -DTE port.

1.	Plug the female end of the cable into the male DTE connector on the	RPM -DTE
card.
2.	Engage the AUI connector slide lock (on the cable) to insure maximum connectivity.
3.	Connect the opposite end of the cable into a network AUI port. (This	could be a

server, router, bridge, hub, or UNIX workstation.)

3.3.5Connecting Fiber Optic 10BASE-FL and FOIRL (ST-type, “Twist-Lock")

The following procedure applies to FOIRL and 10BASE-FL applications using an

RPM -ST card with ST-type fiber connectors. (The primary difference between FOIRL and

10BASE-FL for users is the maximum distance allowed. 10BASE-FL is used for a fiber
