RPM-DTE

The Magnum RPM-DTE is a module equipped with a 15-pin male DTE connector

with lock posts. (The RPM-DTE is a mating connector for the RPM-AUI which has a 15-pin

female connector and slide locks. The pin

assignments of the two are the same). The

RPM-DTE card is designed to support direct

connections (no transceiver required) using

AUI drop cables to any device that is

equipped with an AUI port. Examples of

such devices include servers, routers,

bridges, hubs, and UNIX workstations.

RPM-FST (Fiber ST, Twist-lock Connector)

The Magnum RPM-FST is a multi-mode fiber optic module equipped with a dual ST-

type connector. It functions as an IEEE 802.3 full repeater to support 10BASE-FL and FOIRL

network segments. When used for 10BASE-FL segments, this module supports fiber optic

transmission distances up to 2000m. For

FOIRL applications, it supports fiber

segments of up to 1000m in length. The

RPM-FST includes full transceiver

functionality and does not require an external

transceiver device. In addition to Partition

(PART) and Receive (RX) LEDs, a LINK

LED indicates proper connectivity with the

remote device.

NOTE: The RPM-FST circuit board contains a six pin jumper which controls the

intensity of the transmitted signal. By default, the jumper is placed across pins 5 & 6. The
jumper may be set as follows, to accommodate distances of up to 4 km:
