3.3.3  Connecting ThickNet 10BASE5  (AUI) 

 

Using the steps below as a guide, attach a new or existing 10BASE5 ThickNet drop-

cable directly to the AUI connector on the RPM-AUI port.  

1.  Plug the male end of the cable into the female AUI connector on the RPM-
 

AUI card. 

2.  Engage the AUI connector slide lock to insure maximum connectivity. 
3.  Connect the opposite end of the cable into a network AUI port.  (This   could be a 
network backbone transceiver, a hub or fan-out with an AUI  

backbone port, or an 

AUI module in a concentrator.) 

The Magnum RPM-AUI card may also used for connecting to other Ethernet 

devices using standard AUI cabling.  In this type of situation, it is important to consider the 

AUI segment length to the attached device, including any cascading.  (See Section  2.2.3 for 

detailed information on the RPM-AUI card, connector pins, and cable lengths.) 

 

3.3.4  Connecting Drop Cable 10BASE5  (DTE) 

 

Using the steps below as a guide, attach the 10BASE5 drop-cable directly to the 

DTE connector on the RPM-DTE port.  

1.  Plug the female end of the cable into the male DTE connector on the  

RPM -DTE 

card. 
2.  Engage the AUI connector slide lock (on the cable) to insure maximum connectivity. 
3.  Connect the opposite end of the cable into a network AUI port.  (This   could be a 
server, router, bridge, hub, or UNIX workstation.)

 

3.3.5  Connecting Fiber Optic 10BASE-FL and FOIRL  (ST-type, “Twist-Lock") 

 

 

The following procedure applies to FOIRL and 10BASE-FL applications using an 

RPM -ST card with ST-type fiber connectors.  (The primary difference between FOIRL and 

10BASE-FL for users is the maximum distance allowed.  10BASE-FL is used for a fiber 

segment length of up to 2000m, while FOIRL is used for fiber segments of up to 1000m in
