Wall (or Vertical Surface) Mounting
Each Magnum DS80
Personal Hub is shipped with two
metal mounting brackets (and screws)
to allow the unit to be mounted in
nearly any desired orientation or
position. The brackets are attached
to the metal hub case using one of the
metal screws for each bracket and attaching to the Magnum DS80 through the round
hole of the bracket. A user-supplied screw attaches the bracket to the mounting surface.
It is recommended that the brackets be attached to two opposite corners of the unit.
When properly attached, the
brackets will extend slightly below
the base of the unit to allow
clearance for the rubber feet.

Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum DS80 Dual-Speed Personal Hub can be connected to the
following two media types: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. CAT 5 cables should be
used when making 100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T
ports, CAT 3 may be used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded
twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).

100BASE-TX RJ-45
NOTE :
It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10
Mbps and 100Mbps ) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility
in a mixed-speed network, since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for either
10 and 100Mbps. Note that the speed auto-sensing function does not sense
the cable type.
