2.6 Applications
Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hubs offer a great deal of flexibility and are
easily used within a variety of Ethernet environments. Magnum Workgroup Hubs will
often be used to support small- to medium-size networks operating in stand-alone
configurations, as shown in Figure 2.6a. The number of users would likely not exceed
twenty or so, including assorted network devices such as printers and servers.

Magnum 1000 Hubs can also be used to extend an existing network of any
standard Ethernet media. Figure 2.5b shows two workgroups connected to a ThinNet
(10BASE2) segment. One of the workgroups is comprised of two Magnum 1000’s
cascaded by means of the up-link switch of a port 1 (for details on the up-link switch,
refer to section 3.3.1, “Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, Unshielded or Shielded). Each
workgroup is connected to the ThinNet through a rear-mounted BNC-type RPM. In
addition, the basic AUI port may be used to connect any standard device, such as the
server shown in the figure above.
