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 or BPM-AUI port.  

1.  Plug the cable’s male end into the female AUI connector on the PM-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 port, or an AUI Port 
Module in a concentrator.)

 

 

The AUI port 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 “Product 

Description, RPM-AUI” for additional details. 

Connecting ThinNet 10BASE2  (BNC) 

 

Connect the ThinNet coax cable to the BNC connector on the Magnum RPM-

BNC or BPM-BNC card in the same manner as is done for any standard BNC 

connection.  The PM-BNC port is specially equipped with an internal termination switch 

on the front of the card (see Section 4.1 for a description of this switch).  This eliminates 

the need to use a "tee" connector when the BNC cable is ending at the connection to this 

PM.  Some applications may require a "tee" connector, used as a tap, to allow the 

10BASE2 coax segment to continue on past the PM-BNC connection. 

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 cable’s female end into the male DTE connector on the RPM-DTE card. 
2.  Engage 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.) 

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

using an RPM-ST or BPM-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 
length.)
