Description of the device variants

The industrial ETHERNET series MICE (Modular Industrial Communication
Equipment) consists of a basic switch module and the media modules. These
devices can be managed. A basic module contains all the functions of this
industrial Gerät, with the exception of the interfaces to the LAN that is
connected. Pluggable media modules provide these interfaces. They differ
with regard to the number of interfaces and the media type for connecting
segments. An expansion module enables you to add 2 slots for media
modules to the basic module.
For the sake of simplicity, the basic switch module with various plugged in
media modules will be referred to as MICE in this document.
D
The MS20-... device variants are modular switches with up to 8, 16 or 24 *
10/100 Mbit Ethernet ports. You can choose the media for the ports via
the media modules.
