3.0 INSTALLATION
This chapter provides instructions for installing the Magnum 700X mixed-media
concentrator and each of the available Port Modules (PMs).
3.1 Locating Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators
The location of the Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrator is dependent on the physical
layout of the network and the area to be served. The unit should be set-up in a location that will
accommodate easy and equal access to planned network devices and/or segment connections.
The Magnum 700X is typically shelf mounted either in a wiring closet or in an open area.
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum
700X site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 700X will normally protect it from accidental
damage in a wiring closet or in a workplace setting. Keep an open area around the unit so that
convection cooling can occur while the unit is in operation.
3.2 Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrator is specifically designed to support all Ethernet
media types within a single unit. This is accomplished by using a family of Port Modules (PMs).
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 802.3 standards and
connector types are as follows:
Media IEEE Standard
Connector PM type
ThinNet 10BASE2 BNC
RPM-BNC, BPM-BNC
ThickNet 10BASE5 AUI (female)
RPM-AUI, BPM-AUI
Drop Cable 10BASE5 DTE (male)
