Appendix B

Media Dependent Adapters

This appendix describes the optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that are supported by your switch. The MDAs can support high-speed connections to servers, shared Fast Ethernet hubs, or backbone devices.

Note: The MDA is not hot-swappable. Power down the switch before installing or removing an MDA.

Your BayStack 410-24T switch supports the following MDAs:

Type	Model/Description	See Page:

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX	400-4TX MDA -- 4-port twisted pair RJ-45	B-2
	connectors.
100BASE-FX (Fiber)	400-2FX MDA -- 2-port multimode fiber SC	B-3
	connectors.

400-4FX MDA -- 4-port multimode fiber MT-RJ connectors.

Nortel Networks is constantly adding new models and features to existing product lines. See your Nortel Networks sales representative for a full range of available MDAs.

Note: The BayStack 410-24T switch does not support gigabit MDAs and

ATM MDAs.
