Digital Equipment Mod-MAC Series Installing And Cabling

Installing and Cabling the 100BaseTX Mod-MAC (DLXTX)

Introduction

The 100BaseTX Mod-MAC, illustrated above, is part of the Mod-MAC product family (which also includes the
10BaseFL and 100BaseFX). It provides connectivity between a DIGITAL MultiSwitch 612EX and network
devices using 100BaseTX. It has a crossover-wired connector (1) and a straight-through wired connector (2).
Only one of the connectors can be used at a time. The 100BaseTX Mod-MAC only operates in the DIGITAL
MultiSwitch 612EX.

Before you install a 100BaseTX Mod-MAC, make sure that the module has no power connected to it. The
100BaseTX Mod-MACs are not hot-swappable. To install the 100BaseTX Mod-MAC, complete the following
steps. A Phillips-head screwdriver is required.
1 Remove the dust cap from the module's modular interface connector.
2
Hold the 100BaseTX Mod-MAC by its bezel so that it is parallel with a slot opening on the module.

Insert the 100BaseTX Mod-MAC and align its sides with the guide in the module's slot opening.
4
Push the 100BaseTX Mod-MAC into the slot until it is firmly seated inside the module.
