used with a variety of different mini-transceivers to provide connectivity to any media
type.
The RPM-AUI card is equipped with Partition (PART) and Receive (RX)
LEDs. The RX LED functions the same as the RX LEDs of the RPM-BNC. The PART
LED is inoperative on Model 1000 Workgroup Hubs. (Section 2.4.1 above).
The Magnum RPM-AUI
card is also used for connecting
Ethernet devices using standard
AUI cabling. In this situation, it is
important to consider the AUI
segment length or distance to the
attached device, including any
cascading. Refer to Section 3.3.2
for detailed information on the AUI
port, connector pins, and cable length requirements.
2.4.3 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. Magnum RPM-DTE
