2M46-04R Overview The 2M46-04R is a tabletop unit that can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied rack mounting hardware. The 2M46-04R has two ac power supplies. The power supplies load share 50% (+/-5%) of the power required by the device. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply assumes the entire load of the device without interruption to network traffic. Each power supply module supports its own ac input connection, which allows the user to connect

Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3.3 Auto-Negotiation The optional FE-100TX Fast Ethernet Interface Module can auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two devices. For example, a 2M46-04R FE-100TX Fast Ethernet Inte

2M46-04R Overview 1.3.5 Runtime IP Address Discovery This feature enables the 2M46-04R to automatically accept an IP address from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring the user to enter an IP address through Local Management. When the 2M46-04R is connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the 2M46-04R for an IP address. If one has not yet been assigned, RAD checks to see if any of the 2M46-04R interfaces have a link. If so,
