2.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the functionality of the Magnum 700X and its Port Modules.
2.1 Inspecting the Package and Product
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to installing this product;
notify the carrier of any damage which you believe occurred during shipment or delivery.
Inspect the contents o f this package for any signs of damage and ensure that the items listed
below are included.
This package should contain:
1 Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrator Unit
1 AC Power Cord (U.S. and other 115 vac only)
1 Installation and User Guide
1 Product Registration Card
Note: PMs that are purchased with the 700X unit are usually factory
configured and installed, and may be included as part of the 700X unit.
Remove the Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrator from the shipping container. Be sure to
keep the shipping container should you need to ship the unit at a later date. To validate the
product warranty please complete and return the enclosed Product Registration Card to Garrett
Communications as soon as possible.
In the event there are items missing or damaged contact your supplier. If you need to
return the unit use the original shipping container. Refer to Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, for
specific return procedures.
2.2 Product Description
The 700X Mini-Concentrator is a highly versatile, cost-effective mixed-media Ethernet
concentrator that provides seven (7) slots for Ethernet media connectivity. Any combination of
standard Ethernet media segments are supported. It operates as the central concentrator for
multiple backbone or user segments in mixed-media environments of small and medium-sized
networks.
GARRETT
5
Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators Installation and User Guide (05/98)
Each Magnum 700X unit is a complete operational unit with an internal power supply
enclosed in a lightweight, compact, rugged metal enclosure. The media connectors and the status
LEDs are conveniently accessed from the front. The unit is easily installed and is suitable for
wiring closet shelf, table-top or vertical mounting.
Magnum 700X units operate as multi-port repeaters and provide full repeater
functionality per IEEE 802.3 specifications in compliance with Ethernet V1.0/2.0 standards.
They may also be optionally configured with one or more Bridge Port Modules (BPMs) in order
to isolate the 700X and its attached nodes from the up- stream connected segments for increased
network performance.
2.2.1 Magnum 700X Chassis
The Magnum 700X functions as a seven (7) slot master chassis. Each slot supports a
single Port Module (RPM or BPM) to provide 10BASE-FL, FOIRL, 10BASE2, 10BASE5, or
10BASE-T LAN connectivity. The RPMs are used for one Ethernet segment each and provide
full IEEE 802.3 repeater functionality. The individual BPMs are self-learning and filter and
forward packets at full Ethernet wire speed. A BPM can be used to provide local bridge isolation
between the 700X and the connected segment. Each PMs is equipped with one media interface
connector. Any PM can be installed in any slot of the Magnum 700X chassis.
To simplify media
connections, each media interface
connector is accessible from the
front of the unit, along with the
Magnum 700X
Mini-Concentrator

LEDs. No rear access is required
except for the AC power plug.
Figure 2.2.1: Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrator
When configured with multiple RPMs for single- or mixed-media applications, the
total combination of all RPMs will operate as a single repeater. As an example, when the
Magnum 700X is fully configured with seven RPMs connecting seven Ethernet segments, the
entire unit operates as a single repeater. In addition to the typical standard Ethernet interfaces,
RPMs with a DTE connector and RPMs with single-mode fiber connector are also available.
When configured with BPMs, all RPMs and their locally attached nodes will operate as
a single repeater which is isolated from the up-stream segments connected via the local bridge.
The BPMs are self-learning and filter / forward packets for their attached segment.

Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators Installation and User Guide (05/98)
The internal power supply is auto-ranging to handle any AC power type worldwide.
Power input may range from 90 to 260 vac, with a frequency rating of 47 to 63 Hz. The unit is
equipped with a rear mounted IEC-type recessed male AC power connector. (When shipped for
use in areas other than 115 vac, a power cord will not be included). The 700X unit is convection
cooled for silent operati on.
2.3 Magnum 700X - Repeater Port Modules (RPMs)
There are a total of six different RPM cards and each is designed with its own media
cable connector type. A seventh module is used as a face plate when any front slot is not used.
The assortment of standard network connector types for RPMs includes BNC (ThinNet
or 10BASE2), AUI (10BASE5 or ThickNet, DB-15 female for most transceiver connections),
DTE (DB-15 male-AUI for direct connects), ST (Ethernet multi-mode Fiber ST), SC (Ethernet
multi-mode Fiber SC), SMF (Ethernet single-mode Fiber) and RJ-45 (10BASE-T UTP and STP).
They are shown in Figure 2.3. Each RPM is usually factory installed, or may be field installed by
trained technicians as described in Section 3.0, Installation.
Figure 2.3: Magnum RPM Cards: RPM-BNC, RPM-AUI,
RPM-DTE, RPM-FST, RPM-FSC, RPM-TP, & PM-FP
Each of the individual RPMs are described in detail in this section.
2.3.1 RPM-BNC
The Magnum RPM-BNC repeater module is equipped with a standard 10BASE2 coax
connector. This RPM performs full IEEE 802.3 repeater functionality and is used for 10BASE2
ThinNet (commonly referred to as BNC) connections.
The RPM-BNC module is designed with a special switch -selectable internal
termination function that eliminates the need for a "tee" connector and a 50 ohm terminator. To
