SPM-FDSSC’s can be used together on each end of a fiber segment to get the
maximum distance of 15km of single-mode fiber optic cable in a Fast Ethernet
network. For an SPM-FDSSC used to connect into a separate collision domain,
the cable distances and hop-counts allowable would have to be calculated
taking into account all the devices’ Path Delay Values (PDVs) that are part of
that domain.
An SPM operating at 100Mbps has a PDV of 50 BT, i.e., the same PDV as a
DTE or NIC card in a Fast Ethernet collision domain.
2.5.4 Magnum SPM-TTX
The Magnum SPM-TTX is a 10 Mbps or 100Mbps device equipped with
one RJ-45 port which supports either 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. The
10/100 speed selection is done with a manual switch on
the unit to prevent ambiguity where it may be used with
other devices such as NICs that are auto-sensing.
The SPM-TTX filters and forwards packets, maintains
its address tables, and segments the network when used as a
10BASE-T or a 100BASE-TX switch port. See Sections 2.5 and
2.5.1 for a general description of an SPM. The SPM-TTX
includes an up-link switch to allow for connection to either user
nodes or for cascaded up-link connections to other hubs. The
attached devices may be either 10 Mb or 100Mbps.
The Magnum SPM-TTX has two LED’s - LINK and
RX - to allow monitoring of link and packet reception status of the SPM’s operation.
