4000 Router Series Interface Module Guide

MIM/DMIM/XMIM

For the modular MSR series routers, a wide range of optional MIM/DMIMs are available, which provide

abundant interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, Ethernet interface, E1/T1,

ISDN BRI/PRI, audio interface, Layer 2 switching interface, and so on.

Among the Layer 2 switching interface modules, neither the XMIM-16FSW nor the XMIM-24FSW

supports the PoE function, while the MIM-16FSW and the DMIM-24FSW support the PoE function to

provide -48 VDC power to remote PDs (such as IP phone, WLAN AP, network camera) through

straight-through network cables as long as installed in a PoE router.

XMIM-16FSW/XMIM-24FSW

Introduction

XMIM-16FSW and XMIM-24FSW are a 16-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Layer 2 switching MIM interface

module and a 24-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Layer 2 switching MIM interface module, which can be

installed on the MSR30-11. Each XMIM-16FSW provides 16 ordinary 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 connector

interfaces, while each XMIM-24FSW provides twenty-four 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 connector interfaces.

Both XMIM-16FSW and XMIM-24FSW are suitable for a small enterprise network to serve as a switching

& routing device, which can be directly connected to PCs and network devices of the enterprise.

XMIM-16FSW and XMIM-24FSW support the following functions:

• A transmission distance of 100 meters (328.1 ft) when connected with a category-5 twisted pair

cable (crossover or straight-through cable).

• 100 Mbps wire-speed forwarding between any ports when connected with a category-5 twisted

pair cable (crossover or straight-through cable).

• Auto-sensing at a rate of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

• Full duplex and half duplex, of which full duplex is common.
