The MPMC202 requires the following operating environment:

Operating temperature 0û to 55ûC

Storage temperature -40û to 85ûC

Operating humidity, non-condensing 10-90%

Storage humidity, non-condensing 5-95%

Forced air cooling is not required when the ambient temperature is
below 40 degrees C. Above 40 degrees C, forced air cooling is
required.

Cabling

Motorola recommends using Category 5 UTP cabling, even if you
have a 10Mbps network. This allows you to upgrade the network to
100Mbps without needing to replace the existing cables.

Cabling

1

Category 3 and 4 cabling supports 10Mbps operation. Category 5
cabling is required for 100Mbps operation.

Category 5 cabling supports Ethernet 802.3, 10Base-T, and Token
Ring 802.5 (4MB, 16MB). Category 5 supports 100 meters of cable
length between stations, and uses data grade modular wall outlets
and patch cables.

The MPMC202 is compliant with the 100 meter requirement of the
TP-PMD specification.

Terminal Connectors

Category 5 data grade cable requires discrete modular data grade
terminal connectors that plug into a panel or wall jack. When
routing Category 5 cable, use data grade connectors instead of
punchdown blocks.

Introduction

Category 5 Routing Considerations

Category 5 data grade cable requires delicate handling. Be aware of
conditions to avoid that will reduce the performance of your
network:

Routing over fluorescent lighting fixtures

❏

Overly acute bends in cable

❏

Cables routed too closely together

❏

LAN Configuration Considerations

Fast Ethernet supports a maximum of two Ethernet repeaters
between any two end nodes (i.e., a workstation and a concentrator).

The maximum distance between any two Fast Ethernet devices is
100 meters or less, limited by the following equation:

400 - (

x 95)

1-6

where

is the number of repeaters (i.e., concentrator hubs,

switches, routers and repeaters).

We recommend Fast Ethernet be implemented in work group
environments where you have smaller LANs but need the 100Mbps
bandwidth.

Artisan Scientific - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisan-scientific.com

Fast Ethernet Technology

10Base-T T echnology

The popularity of 10Mbps Ethernet makes 10Base-T a natural
baseline for faster Ethernet technologies. 10Base-T is a universal,
world-standard LAN technology. Its cost per node is low because
you do not usually need to upgrade your cables for installation.

100Base-TX T echnology

100Base-TX technology is derived from 10Base-T. It achieves
100Mbps speeds by sending signals 10 times faster over two pairs
of UTP cable. To retain signal integrity at high speed, 100Base-TX
requires data grade Category 5 UTP cabling. 100Base-TX supports
both half- and full-duplex operation.

controller if you installed the MPMC202 as an upgrade on one of
the following carrier boards:

❏ MVME130x

❏ MVME160x-0xx

Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 for installing the driver.

If the MPMC202 is present on one of these boards when AIX is
installed and configured, the correct Fast Ethernet LAN controller
driver is installed automatically during Initial Program Load (IPL).

You do not need to install the AIX driver if you install the
MPMC202 on one of the following carrier boards:

❏ MVME160x-1xx
