10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs

This section describes three 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA models. The three models can support various product lines (see Table 2 on page 2 for a complete list of supported product lines). For installation instructions, see “Installing an MDA” on page 35.

The three 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA models are:

• 400-4TX MDA Not supported on the Business Policy Switch or

Passport 8132.

• 8100-4TX MDA Supports BayStack 350/450/410 and Passport 8132.

• BPS2000-4TX MDA Supports the Business Policy Switch.

The three models each use four 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 (8-pin modular) connectors, that are configured as media dependent interface-crosso ver (MDI-X) co nnectors. These ports connect over straight cables to the network interface controller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar to a conventional Ethernet repeater hub.

If you connect to another Et hern et hub or E the rnet s wi t ch, you need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection exists on the associated port of the attached device.

The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA ports can operate at either 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s. The port speed is determined through autonegotiation with its connecting device.

Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser

or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector po rt. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.

Vorsicht: Glasfaserkomponenten können Laserlicht bzw. Infrarotlicht abstrahlen, wodurch Ihre Augen geschädigt werden können. Schauen Sie niemals in einen Glasfaser-LWL oder ein Anschlußteil. Gehen Sie stets davon aus, daß das Glasfaserkabel an eine Lichtquel le angeschlossen ist.

Avertissement: L’équipement à fibre optique peut émettre des rayons laser ou infrarouges qui risquent d’entraîner des lésions oculaires. Ne jamais regarder dans le port d’un connecteur ou d’un câble à fibre optique. Toujours supposer que les câbles à fibre optique sont raccordés à une source lumineuse.

Advertencia: Los equipos de fibra óptica pueden emitir radiaciones de láser o infrarrojas que pueden dañar los ojos. No mi re nun ca en el interior de una fibra óptica ni de un puerto de conexión. Suponga siempre que los cables de fibra óptica están conectados a un a fu ente luminosa.

Avvertenza:

emettono raggi laser o infrarossi che possono risultare dannosi per gli occhi. Non guardare mai direttamente le fibre ottiche o le porte di collegamento. Tenere in considerazione il fatto che i cavi a fibre ottiche sono collegati a una sorgente luminosa.

Le apparecchiature a fibre ottiche

This section describes t h e six 100BASE- FX MDA models (three dual-port and t hree quad-port models).

The six models can support various product lines (see Table 2 on page 2 for a complete list of supported product lines).

The 100BASE-FX MDA models conform to the IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX standard and can be used to attach fiber-based 100 Mb/s connections to other compatible Fast Ethernet devices.

Single-mode fiber cable is not supported. For installation instructions, see “Installing an MDA” on

page 35.

Dual-Port 100BASE-FX Models

The three dual-port models are:

• 400-2FX MDA Not supported on the Business Policy Switch and

Passport 8132.

• 8100-2FX MDA Supports BayStack 350/450, BayStack 410, and

Passport 8132 Modul e s.

• BPS2000-2FX MDA Supports the Business Policy Switch.

The three dual-port 100BASE-FX MDA models each use two longwave 1300 nm SC connectors to attach devices over 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable.

Figure 3 shows the 400-2FX MDA and the 8100-2FX MDAs.
