4.2.9 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

Magnum BPM-AUI

FWD-X LED, which are identical to those of the BPM-BNC (Section 2.2.7).

The RPM-AUI connector supports standard IEEE signals, which are

summarized in Table 3.2.2 of Section 3.2.2.

4.2.10 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 applications, it

supports fiber segments of up to 1000m in

length. The BPM-FST includes full

transceiver functionality and does not

require

an

external

Magnum BPM-FST

transceiver device. The BPM-FST has three status LEDs. FWD-I and

FWD-X are identical to those of the BPM-BNC (Section 2.2.7). In addition, this module

has a GREEN LINK LED, that is always on when the attached fiber link is operational.
