Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hubs

Installation and User Guide (05/ 02)

 

 

 

Normally, one Magnum 8000X hub is needed to provide a switch between the 10 and 100Mbps domains.

With one base model Magnum 8000X, up to two additional 8000X-A “add- on” units or two DS8016-A hub units can be stacked to operate as one 10/100 Dual- Speed repeater with up to 48 dual-speed ports, with any mix of fiber and copper port types.

When connecting mixed-media 8000X’s in a stack, use the stacking RS232 cable to connect the “OUT” stacking port from one 8000X unit to the “IN” stacking port of the other. Push in the cable connectors until they seat in firmly. Also, leave space along the left-side area for the exhaust of the internal cooling fan in each 8000X unit.

2.8Bridge Module between the 10 Mbps and 100Mbps Domains

Magnum 8000X’s contain a factory-installed bridge module to interconnect the two traffic domains, filtering and selectively forwarding packets to allow only necessary packets to cross between the domains. This enables all of the users and nodes connected into either domain, whether 100Mbps or 10 Mbps , to communicate to each other, and it keeps local traffic on one domain from consuming any of the bandwidth of the other domain.
