3.1 Locating the Magnum 200X Two-Port Repeater
The location of the Magnum 200X Two-Port Repeater 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.
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum
200X repeater site. The rugged steel case of the Magnum 200X will 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.
3.1.1 Magnum 200X Table-Top / Shelf Mounting
The Magnum 200X unit has four rubber feet to provide stability while not
scratching finished surfaces. It is typically shelf-mounted either in a wiring closet or in an
open area. To conserve shelf space, it may be desirable to mount several units on top of
each other. If so, this may be readily done as the Magnum 200X's steel case is strong.
Should vertical mounting of the unit (such as on a wall surface) be desired,
operation and cooling are not impaired but no brackets for vertical mounting are provided by
Garrett Communications.
3.3 Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum 200X Two-Port Repeater is specifically designed to support
connections for any two Ethernet segment media types within a single unit. This is
accomplished by using a family of Repeater Port Modules (RPMs). The various media
types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 802.3 standards and connector types
