• Double-wide module that fits into the Model 5000 chassis (14 slots) and
Model 5005 chassis (8 slots)
• 16 front-panel 10 Mb/s switch ports:
– All 16 ports are configurable for half- or full-duplex mode.
– The first 12 ports (1 through 12) can be connected to the System 5000
backplane in half-duplex mode only.
• Single front-panel media dependent adapter (MDA) slot to install one of
three types of MDAs:
– 100BASE-FX for support of 100BASE-FX (fiber) links
– 100BASE-TX for support of 100BASE-TX (UTP) links
– Combination 100BASE-FX/TX for support of both 100BASE-FX and
100BASE-TX links
• Support by each MDA port of 100 Mb/s transmission rate in half-duplex
mode and 200 Mb/s transmission rate in full-duplex mode (100 Mb/s in
each direction)
• Switched and dedicated 100 Mb/s transmission (as opposed to shared
100 Mb/s transmission) by both ports on each MDA
• Support by 100 MDA ports of the Bay Networks flow-control mechanism
(This feature can be disabled through the console port or through SNMP.)
• Plug-in card slot for installation of expansion modules such as the MDA
expansion module, which enables the installation of up to four additional
MDAs
