GarrettCom Magnum 20X Power Supply User Manual


 
10BASE2 coax connector. This
RPM performs full IEEE 802.3
repeater functionality and is used
for 10BASE2 ThinNet Magnum RPM-BNC
(commonly referred to as BNC) connections.
The RPM-BNC module is designed with a special switch -selectable internal
termination function that eliminates the need for a "tee" connector and a 50 ohm terminator.
To take advantage of internal termination, the slide switch should be in the "DOWN" (or
right-side) position. In this configuration, the 10BASE2 segment is directly attached to the
BNC port where it is internally terminated. When the switch is in the "UP" (or left-side)
position, the BNC port requires a "tee" connector (not supplied) and a 50 ohm terminator
for proper termination. Certain applications may require a "tee" connector, used as a tap, to
allow the 10BASE2 coax segment to continue on past the RPM-BNC connection.
The RPM-BNC module includes one partition (PART) and one receive (RX)
LED, which are visible from the front. The PART LED flashes AMBER to indicate that the
segment has been automatically partitioned. As soon as normal transmission resumes, the
segment will be automatically re-established. The RX LED illuminates GREEN
intermittently to indicate data is being received.
Important Note: For the RPM-BNC Termination Switch -
DOWN (or right): Internally Terminated
UP (or left): Requires "T" Connector.
2.3.2 RPM-TP (Twisted Pair)
