Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators Installation and User Guide (05/98)

2.5Features and Benefits

!Seven Ethernet Segments in a Single Unit

The Magnum 700X allows any mix of standard Ethernet media to reside in one unit, up to seven different segments, to expand and reconfigure any Ethernet network installation.

!RPMs (Repeater Port Modules) for All Standard Ethernet Media

Multiple RPMs support all of the various IEEE 802.3 standards including, 10BASE-FL, FOIRL, 10BASE2, 10BASE5 and 10BASE-T.

!Optional Bridge Port Modules (BPMs)

The Magnum 700X can be optionally configured with one or more BPMs. Each BPM contains a miniature, self-learning local bridge module capable of filtering and forwarding packets at full Ethernet speed. A BPM may be used to bridge- isolate local nodes having significant local inter-node traffic, thus boosting overall network performance. These modules are available with BNC, AUI, multi-mode Fiber-ST, and RJ-45 media connectors.

!Multiple Mixed-Media Segments Form One Repeater

When configured with two or more RPMs supporting a single- or mixed-media application, the Magnum 700X functions as one multi-port repeater.

!Front Mounted Connectors and LEDs

The installation of Magnum 700X units only requires front access for network connections. Similarly, the status LEDs are all readily visible from the front for ease of monitoring network operational status over time. This is especially convenient when the Magnum 700X is mounted on a shelf or in a wiring closet.

!Internal "Universal" Power Supply with Auto-ranging

An internal auto-ranging power supply with a female IEC power cord connector allows the Magnum 700X to be used throughout the world. No external power supply unit is required.

!LEDs for Chassis, and for each PM Cards

The Magnum 700X chassis and each individual PM card are equipped with front- mounted traffic activity and segment status LEDs. The Magnum 700X chassis features a Power (PWR), Receive (RX), Collision (COL), and Jabber (JAB) LEDs.
