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

3.3Ethernet Media Connections

The Magnum 1000 workgroup Hub may be used as a stand-alone hub serving the needs of a small to medium size workgroup or may be connected to a larger network environment. In either case, user connectivity is achieved using twisted pair wiring, Cat. 3 or Cat 5, UTP or STP. There may be some cases where a user device will be connected via the AUI or Bonus Port.

In applications where Magnum hubs are used to provide workgroup services within a larger network system, the rear port(s) may be connected into a larger network, rather than being used to connect to a user.

The various media types supported and their corresponding IEEE 802.3 standards and connector types are as follows:

Media	IEEE Standard	Connector	PM type
ThinNet	10BASE2	BNC	RPM-BNC, BPM-BNC
ThickNet	10BASE5	AUI (female)	RPM-AUI, BPM-AUI
Drop Cable	10BASE5	DTE (male)	RPM-DTE
Twisted Pair	10BASE-T	RJ-45	RPM-TP, BPM-TP
Fiber (mm1)	FOIRL	ST	RPM-FST, RPM-SMF, BPM-FST
Fiber (mm1)	10BASE-FL	ST or SC	RPM-FST, RPM-SMF, BPM-FST
Fiber (sgl.m2)	*	ST	RPM-SMF

1mm = multi-mode

2sgl.m = single-mode

*10 Mb operation not currently standardized by IEEE

Instructions for connecting the Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hub to each of the standard Ethernet types are given below.

3.3.1Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, Unshielded or Shielded)

The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port on the front panel of the hub or to the RPM-TP or BPM-TP. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair segments.

1.Using standard 10BASE-T media, insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector. Note that, even though the TP connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded 10BASE-T cables and wiring may be used.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device.

3.When proper connection and power have been established, the port’s LINK LED will illuminate GREEN.
