You can use this slot to install an Expansion Module that provides a
high-speed link to the rest of your network, or a Matrix Module that
provides four matrix ports for stacking Switch units together. 3Com
provides a range of Expansion Modules; contact your supplier for
availability. For more information about Matrix Modules, see "Stacking
Units" on page 27.
When an Expansion Module or Matrix Module is not installed, ensure the
blanking plate is secured in place.
You can use this slot to install a Transceiver Module. When a Transceiver
Module is installed, the Transceiver Module port becomes port 1 and the
port labelled 1 on the front panel becomes inactive. The Transceiver
Module can provide a 10Mbps Ethernet half duplex link to the rest of
your network using various media such as fiber and coaxial cabling.
When a Transceiver Module is not installed, ensure the blanking plate is
secured in place.
The matrix port allows you to:
Stack the Switch with another Switch 1100 or Switch 3300 unit using
a single Matrix Cable
Stack the Switch with up to three other Switch 1100 or Switch 3300
units, if one of the units has a Matrix Module installed.
For more information about the role of matrix port, see "Stacking Units"
on page 27.
