Attaching Fast Ethernet Interface Cables
Connect
Step 1 If you have MII connections, attach an MII cable directly to the MII port on the FEIP or attach a
Caution Before you attach an MII transceiver to an MII receptacle on your FEIP, ensure that your MII transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY Address” of the IEEE 802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result. Confirm that this capability is available on your MII transceiver with the transceiver's vendor or in the transceiver's documentation. If a selection for “Isolation Mode” is available, we recommend you use this setting (if no mention is made of “PHY addressing”).
