Introduction Hardware Overview
10/100Base-TX 16-Port Line Card
The 10/100Base-TX 16-port line card contains 16 independent Ethernet ports. Each port senses whether it is connected
to a 10-Mbps segment or a 100-Mbps segment and automatically configures itself as a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX port.
Figure 2-11 shows the front panel of the 10/100Base-TX line card.

The following table lists the media specifications for the 10/100Base-TX line card.
The following table lists the pin assignments for the RJ-45 connector on the 10/100Base-TX and for the RJ-45
connector on the network side of the segment cable.
