CHAPTER 2NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

Before installing the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA or Fast Ethernet

Interface Modules (DELTX-UI, DELFX-UI, or DELF3-UI), review the

requirements and specifications referred to in this chapter concerning the

following:

•SmartTrunk (Section2.1)

•10BASE-T Twisted Pair Network (Section2.2)

•100BASE-TX Twisted Pair Network (Section2.3)

•100BASE-FX Fiber Optic Network (Section2.4)

The network installation must meet the guidelines to ensure satisfactory

performance of this equipment. Failure to follow the guidelines may

produce poor network performance.

2.1 SmartTrunk

To connect the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA to a network so they can

take advantage of the SmartTrunk feature, there are certain rules

concerning port connections and configurations that must be followed for

proper operation. Section5.20.1, SmartT runk Configuration Rules in

describes SmartTrunking and provides the configuration rules.
