to provide connectivity to any media type.

The RPM-AUI card is equipped with Partition (PART) and Receive (RX) LEDs which function the same as the identical LEDs on the RPM-BNC (Section 2.3.1 above).

The Magnum RPM-AUI card is also used for connecting Ethernet devices using standard AUI cabling. In this situation, it is important to consider the AUI segment length or distance to the attached device.

The maximum transmission distance between a backbone transceiver equipped with an AUI connector and the Magnum RPM-AUI card will vary. When an AUI cable is used to connect the Magnum RPM-AUI directly to a backbone transceiver, the maximum AUI segment length is allowed. If the Magnum RPM-AUI is connected to a transceiver that has been cascaded from another transceiver, the maximum AUI segment length is reduced.

According to Ethernet standards, the maximum distance from the transceiver AUI connector and the attached device (Magnum RPM-AUI) is 50m (165 ft.). The AUI segment maximum length is reduced in cascaded configurations. See the following note.

Important Note: The maximum transmission distance is decreased by 6m (20 ft.) for every additional level of network transceiver device "dropped" or "cascaded" from the original backbone transceiver tap.

The RPM-AUI connector supports standard IEEE signals, summarized in Table 2.3.2.

NOTES: 1) Voltage Plus (pin #13) and Voltage Common (pin # 6) use a single twisted pair in the AUI cable.

2)Pins 4, 8, 11 and 14 may be connected to pin #1.
