There is no upgrade from a Model 3012 to a Model 3024 since it would not 

provide an economical method of adding ports.  Note that the high degree of stacking of 

Magnum 3000s - up to 20 units! - provides essentially unlimited expansion of the number 

of users by adding more units to the stack.  

 

The Magnum 3012s and 3024s are each equipped with a bonus slot on the rear 

of the unit.  This slot may be optionally configured at the time of order with any one of 

six Repeater Port Modules (RPMs) or four Bridge Port Modules (BPMs) to implement an 

extra port.  The optional bonus port may be used for any purpose, such as an Ethernet 

coax backbone connection, or as a micro-bridge segment isolation unit. The RPMs 

support any of six different media types:  BNC (ThinNet), AUI (ThickNet),  DTE (male 

AUI), ST & SC (multi-mode Fiber), SMF (single-mode Fiber), and RJ-45 (UTP and 

STP).  The BPMs support any of four media types: BNC, AUI, ST, and RJ-45 (UTP and 

STP).  Normally, a maximum of one BPM should be used in a stack. 

 

Each PM is equipped with its own media connector type.  (For additional 

information and specifications of individual PMs, see Section 4 of this manual.)  The 

assortment of standard network connector types for each RPM is shown in Figure 2.5a.
