2.6 Applications
The Magnum 700X provides connectivity between multiple and various Ethernet
media types from a single chassis device, and includes support for the following IEEE 802.3 10
Mbps standards: 10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-FL, FOIRL. Where more than one
type of Ethernet media is required, the Magnum 700X easily integrates a mixed media network.
Also, the Magnum 700X can be optionally configured with BPMs to offer local-bridge isolation
for any segments.
Figure 2.6 illustrates a Magnum 700X being used to support an existing ThinNet
(10BASE2) network of just a few users, the addition of a new 10BASE-T segment to handle up
to eight more user stations, the future expansion of the network using fiber (10BASE-FL), and an
AUI/DTE drop cable segment to an attached server.
Figure 2.6: Magnum 700X brings together mixed Ethernet media
Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators will function properly when the network
installation follows IEEE standards for the various Ethernet media. Each media type has
different installation limitations based on IEEE 802.3 standards, and those specifications should
be adhered to for all applications. A summary of each Ethernet media type and the
corresponding Magnum PM is presented here:
