Note: not The MDAs are hot-swappable. Power down the BayStack switch or disconnect the Passport 8132 module from the switch backplane before installing or removing an MDA. 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

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. Table 3 describes the 400-4TX MDA and the 8100-4TX MDA front-panel components.

100BASE-FX MDAs Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. 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 Lichtquelle

Avvertenza: Le apparecchiature a fibre ottiche 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. This section describes the six 100BASE-FX MDA models (three dual-port and three quad-port models). The six models can support various product lines (see Table 2 on page 2 for a complete lis

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 Modules. 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. 10
