Page 2-5
◆ Note: Each 10/100 expansion module provides 8 ports
which are numbered 1 through 8. If the module is installed
in Option Slot A, the ports on the module will correspond
to LED indicators A1–A8. If the module is installed in
Option Slot B, the ports on the module will correspond to
LED indicators B1–B8.
100 FX MII Module
All FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switches include one Media Independent
Interface (MII) slot on the rear panel of the unit which allows for connection to
100Base-FX media.
The Asanté 100 FX MII Module is sold separately and complies with IEEE
802.3 and 802.3u (10/100Base-T and 100Base-FX) specifications. The module
is equipped with a 100Base-FX Fiber SC connector and can easily be installed
in the MII slot of FS7000 Series Switches.
▲ Important: When an MII module is installed, one of the
10/100Mbps ports becomes disabled. The 8th switching
port on FS7108 models, or the 16th switching port on
FS7x16 models, is shared with the MII Module. When an
MII Module is plugged in, it has priority for that port.
▲ Important: MII modules are hot-swappable; you can
install and/or remove the module without turning the
switch’s power off.
To install a 100 FX MII module:
1
Unscrew the metal cover from the front of the MII slot
(located on the Switch’s back panel) using a small Phillips
screwdriver. See Figure 2-6.
