APPENDIX A

FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE MODULE

SPECIFICATIONS

A.1 MODULE SPECIFICATIONS

The BRIM-E100 currently supports two Fast Ethernet Interface Modules: the FE-100TX and the FE-100FX. This appendix provides specifications for each module.

A.1.1 FE-100TX

The FE-100TX is an RJ45 connector supporting Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling.

The slide switch on the FE-100TX determines the crossover status of the cable pairs. If the switch is on the X side, the pairs are internally crossed over. If the switch is on the = side, the pairs are not internally crossed over. Figure A-1 shows the pinouts for the EPIM-100TX in both positions.
