2.5 Features 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
