About the Passport 8100 Modules
MDA Slot
The MDA slot allows you to install optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types. The following MDA versions are available for the Passport 8132TX module:
•450-1SR MDA—1000BASE-SX MDA (1-port shortwave gigabit fiber, with 1 redundant port)
•450-1SX MDA—1000BASE-SX MDA (1-port shortwave gigabit fiber)
•450-1LR MDA—1000BASE-LX MDA (1-port longwave gigabit fiber, with 1 redundant port)
•450-1LX MDA—100BASE-LX MDA (1-port longwave gigabit fiber)
•8100-4TX MDA—10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA (4-port copper)
•8100-2FX MDA—100BASE-FX MDA (2-port multimode fiber with SC connectors)
•8100-4FX MDA—100BASE-FX MDA (4-port multimode fiber with MT-RJ connectors)
For information about installing MDAs and specifications for each MDA, refer to Appendix C, “Media Dependent Adapters.”
Note: The MDAs are hot-swappable in an operating Passport 8132TX module; however, the module resets when an MDA is inserted or removed.
Comm Port
The Comm port (also called a Console port) allows you to access the CLI if a Passport 8190SM module is not installed in the chassis. The Comm port is a mini-DIN serial port connector.
