Fast Ethernet PICs
Software features | ■ Autosensing full-duplex and half-duplex modes |
| ■ Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) |
| ■ 802.1Q virtual LANs (VLANs) |
| ■ Circuit cross-connect (CCC) VLAN |
Cables and connectors | 4-port PIC: |
| ■ Connector: Two-pair, Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair connectivity through an RJ-45 |
| connector |
| ■ Pinout: MDI noncrossover |
| 8-port PIC: |
| ■ Connector: MT-RJ female |
| ■ FX optical interface—See Table 11 on page 48 |
| 12-port PIC: |
| ■ Connector: One very High Density Connector Interface (VHDCI) to RJ-21 cable that |
| connects to an RJ-45 patch panel |
LEDs | Status LED, one bicolor: |
| ■ Off—PIC ports not enabled |
| ■ Green—PIC is operating normally |
| ■ Red—PIC has an error or failure |
4-port PIC—One pair of port LEDs:
■Link LED—If green, the port is online; if there is no light, the port is down
■RX LED—If flashing green, the port is receiving data; if there is no light, the port might be on, but is not receiving data
8-port PIC—one pair of port LEDs per port:
■Port link LED—If green, the port is online; if there is no light, the port is down
NOTE: The Link LED remains lit on the 8-port PIC when the port is down.
■Port RX LED—If flashing green, the port is receiving data; if there is no light, the port might be on, but is not receiving data
12-port PIC—one port LED per port:
■Green—100-Mbps link established
■Flashing green—100-Mbps activity
■Yellow—10-Mbps link established
■Flashing yellow—10-Mbps activity
■Off—No link present
NOTE: The port LEDs remains lit on the 12-port PIC when the ports are down.
