Network Interface (NI) Modules

The following section outlines front panel information for Network Interface (NI) modules, including LED and port descriptions. For detailed information on all modules, refer to your Hardware Users Guide.

ENI Modules

Ethernet Network Interface (ENI) modules provide Ethernet connectivity and are available in the following port configura- tions:

•OS7-ENI-C24. Provides 24 twisted-pair ports, auto- negotiating and individually configurable as 10BaseT or 100BaseTX.

•OS7-ENI-FM12. Provides 12 100BaseFX (fiber) ports.

•OS7-ENI-P24. Provides 24 Ethernet ports for use with Power over (PoE) configurations. These PoE ports are twisted-pair and are individually configurable as 10BaseT or 100BaseTX.

GNI Modules

The Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (GNI) modules provide up to twelve 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) connections per module. GNI modules can be used for backbone connections in networks where Gigabit Ethernet is used as the backbone media. GNI modules can also be used in the wiring closet for connections to workstations and other devices.

•OS7-GNI-U2. Provides two slots for use with hot- swappable GBICs. Refer to “Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs)” on page 53 for information on connections supported by GBICs.

•OS7-GNI-U12. Provides 12 slots for use with hot- swappable MiniGBICs. Refer to “Miniature Gigabit Inter- face Converters (MiniGBICs)” on page 53 for information on connections supported by MiniGBICs.

•OS7-GNI-C12. Provides 12 auto-sensing copper ports (10/100/1000BaseT).
