the RPM-BNC section, 2.3.1. The BPM-BNC module includes an FWD-I LED and an FWD-X
LED, which are visible from the front. The FWD-I LED blinks GREEN to indicate that packets
are being forwarded INTO the local Magnum hub or stack.. The FWD-X LED blinks GREEN to
indicate that packets are being forwarded OUT of the local Magnum hub or stack.
2.4.2 BPM-AUI
This local-bridge module is equipped with a 15 pin female AUI connector and a slide-
lock. It is self-learning and filters and forwards packets at full Ethernet wire speed. It is used to
provide segment isolation from a 10BASE5
(ThickNet) backbone or any AUI segments. A
transceiver is required when connecting to a
ThickNet segment and the BPM-AUI supports
this convention.
The BPM-AUI card is equipped with
one FWD-I LED and one FWD-X LED, which
are identical to those of the BPM-BNC Magnum BPM-AUI
(see Section 2.4.1).
The RPM-AUI connector supports standard IEEE signals, which are summarized in
Table 2.3.2 of Section 2.3.2.
2.4.3 BPM-FST
The Magnum BPM-FST is a multi-
mode fiber optic local-bridge module equipped
with a dual ST-type connector. It is self-learning
and filters and forwards packets at full Ethernet
wire speed. When used for 10BASE-FL
segments, this module supports fiber optic
transmission distances up to 2000m. For FOIRL, Magnum BPM-FST
it supports fiber segments of up to 1000m in length. The BPM-FST includes full transceiver
functionality and does not require an external transceiver device. The BPM-FST has three status
LEDs. FWD-I and FWD-X are identical to those of the BPM-BNC (Section 2.4.1). In addition,
this module has a GREEN LINK LED, that is always on when the link is operational.
