Magnum 3000 Stackable HubsInstallation and User Guide (07/06)

There is no upgrade from a Model 3012 to a Model 3024 since it would not provide an economical method of adding ports. Note that the high degree of stacking of Magnum 3000s - up to 20 units! - provides essentially unlimited expansion of the number of users by adding more units to the stack.

2.5Rear Bonus Slot, Port Modules (PMs)

The Magnum 3012s and 3024s are each equipped with a bonus slot on the rear

of the unit. This slot may be optionally configured at the time of order with any one of six Repeater Port Modules (RPMs) or four Bridge Port Modules (BPMs) to implement an extra port. The optional bonus port may be used for any purpose, such as an Ethernet coax backbone connection, or as a micro-bridge segment isolation unit. The RPMs support any of six different media types: BNC (ThinNet), AUI (ThickNet), DTE (male AUI), ST & SC (multi-mode Fiber), SMF (single-mode Fiber), and RJ-45 (UTP and STP). The BPMs support any of four media types: BNC, AUI, ST, and RJ-45 (UTP and STP). Normally, a maximum of one BPM should be used in a stack.

Each PM is equipped with its own media connector type. (For additional information and specifications of individual PMs, see Section 4 of this manual.) The assortment of standard network connector types for each RPM is shown in Figure 2.5a.
