Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs Installation and User Guide (04/02)

2.5Features and Benefits

!Low cost, stand-alone 10BASE-T connectivity

Operating in a stand-alone environment as a self-sufficient network device, Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs offer a low cost method of providing small- to medium-size offices and workgroups access to standard Ethernet networking services.

!Workgroup connectivity into a larger network

Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs provide a low cost method of providing workgroups with local networking services and also interconnection into a larger network via the up-link, the AUI port or the bonus port.

!Rear Bonus Port Provides Connectivity or Local Isolation

The rear Bonus Port of the Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs may be optionally configured with any one of ten Magnum Port Modules. When configured with an RPM, the hub may be connected to any standard Ethernet media. Configuration with a BPM allows local-bridge isolation of the Magnum 1000 segment from the connected network.

!Inter-operable with other Ethernet Devices

Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs are completely inter-operable with any Ethernet-compliant network device. Each Magnum 1000 Hub is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 specifications for 10 Mbps CSMA/CD operation, allowing full Ethernet network compatibility.

!Robust Network Operations

Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs use a "star" network topology and have automatic per port partitioning and re-connection. A faulty segment is isolated from the rest of the network, avoiding most network downtime.

!LEDs Simplify Network Installation and Maintenance

Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs are equipped with front-mounted LEDs to provide status about basic network activity. The per port LINK LEDs offer a very simple way to verify connections at both ends of each attached twisted-pair cable.

!Internal "Universal" Power Supply with Auto-ranging

An internal universal AC power supply allows any Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hub unit to be used throughout the world. The power cable attaches via a standard recessed IEC-type connector in the rear
