Ethernet Media Connections
The Magnum 1000 workgroup Hub may be used as a stand-alone hub serving
the needs of a small to medium size workgroup or may be connected to a larger network
environment. In either case, user connectivity is achieved using twisted pair wiring,
Cat. 3 or Cat 5, UTP or STP. There may be some cases where a user device will be
connected via the AUI or Bonus Port.
In applications where Magnum hubs are used to provide workgroup services
within a larger network system, the rear port(s) may be connected into a larger network,
rather than being used to connect to a user.
The various media types supported and their corresponding IEEE 802.3

Instructions for connecting the Magnum 1000 Workgroup Hub to each of the
standard Ethernet types are given below.
3.3.1
Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, Unshielded or Shielded)
The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T twisted pair
segment to the RJ-45 port on the front panel of the hub or to the RPM-TP or BPM-TP.
The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair segments.
1. Using standard 10BASE-T media, insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45
plug into the RJ-45 connector. Note that, even though the TP connector is shielded,
either unshielded or shielded 10BASE-T cables and wiring may be used.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device.
3. When proper connection and power have been established, the port’s LINK LED
will illuminate GREEN.
