configured in a stack with as many as 3 total units. The two shared traffic domains automatically expand to support all of the ports in the stack. Any combination of 10 and 100Mbps ports, up to the maximum 48 ports (3units) in one stack, can be use at any time. In a stacked configuration, the complete stack operates as one logical dual-speed repeater. Depending upon the stack configuration (any mix of Magnum 8000Xs, Magnum 8016s units), up to 48 front Ethernet segments with any mix of fiber and copper ports is supported.

The Magnum 8000X is compact in design at only 1.75 in. (4.4 cm) high, and has a lightweight metal enclosure. It is easily rack mounted in a standard 19" rack and typically operates as the central hub for a multiple-backbone Ethernet network.

2.3.1The Magnum 8000X Fiber Hub Chassis

The Magnum 8000X chassis houses one main PC board and an internal bridge module (daughter board). There are 16 front slots for mixed-media modules. Each front slot in the dual-speed chassis can accept any 8000X Port Module (PM) which will provide either 10 or 100Mbps operation over either fiber or twisted pair cabling. The 8000X is configured by selecting individual PMs, one per Ethernet port to be used. Configured 8000X units provide two traffic domains, one each with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u repeater functionality.
