4.2.11 BPM-TP
The Magnum BPM-TP card is equipped with a single RJ-45 connector and
supports Ethernet twisted pair segments of any standard length. The RJ-45 connector is
shielded to minimize emissions and will allow both unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and
shielded twisted pair (STP) segment connections.
The BPM-TP module is also equipped with a Media Dependent Interface-
Crossover (MDI-X) slide switch to allow for cascaded connections. This feature
eliminates the need for a special twisted-pair crossover cable. For MDI-X switch details,
refer to the RPM-TP section, 3.2.7.
The BPM-TP will support 10BASE-T unshielded twisted pair wiring (UTP)
environments with maximum
segment distances up to 100m (325
ft.), or shielded twisted pair wiring
(STP) of 150m (500 ft.). This
module is designed with internal
transceiver functionality. The
LINK, FWD-I, and FWD-X LEDs
of this BPM are the same as those of the Magnum BPM-TP
BPM-FST (Section 3.2.10).
