Note: The MDAs are not hot-swappable. Power down  
the BayStack switch or disconnect the Passport 8132  
module from the switch backplane before installing or  
removing an MDA.  
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs  
This section describes three 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX  
MDA models. The three models can support various  
product lines (see Table 2 on page 2 for a complete list of  
supported product lines). For installation instructions, see  
“Installing an MDA” on page 35.  
The three 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA models are:  
400-4TX MDA  
Not supported on the Business Policy Switch or  
Passport 8132.  
8100-4TX MDA  
Supports BayStack 350/450/410 and Passport 8132.  
BPS2000-4TX MDA  
Supports the Business Policy Switch.  
The three models each use four 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX  
RJ-45 (8-pin modular) connectors, that are configured as  
media dependent interface-crossover (MDI-X) connectors.  
These ports connect over straight cables to the network  
interface controller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar  
to a conventional Ethernet repeater hub.  
3
 
 
If you connect to another Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch,  
you need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection  
exists on the associated port of the attached device.  
Figure 1 shows the 400-4TX MDA and the  
8100-4TX MDA.

This section describes the four 1000BASE-X MDA  
models:  
Two shortwave gigabit models:  
450-1SR MDA  
450-1SX MDA  
Two longwave gigabit models:  
450-1LR MDA  
450-1LX MDA  
The four models can support various product lines (see  
Table 2 on page 2 for a complete list of supported product  
lines). For installation instructions, see Installing an  
MDAon page 35.

Shortwave Gigabit Models  
The two 1000BASE-SX (shortwave gigabit) MDA models  
are:  
450-1SR MDA -- single MAC MDA with a separate  
redundant Phy (backup Phy port). Only one Phy port  
can be active at any time. If the active Phy port fails,  
the redundant Phy port automatically becomes the  
active port.  
450-1SX MDA -- single PHY MDA.  
Both models conform to the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX  
standard and use shortwave 850 nm fiber optic connectors  
to connect devices over multimode (550 m/1805 ft) fiber  
optic cable.  
Figure 7 shows the 450-1SR MDA and the 450-1SX  
MDA.

Longwave Gigabit Models  
The two 1000BASE-LX (longwave gigabit) MDA models  
are:  
450-1LR MDA -- single MAC MDA with a separate  
redundant Phy (backup Phy port). Only one Phy port  
can be active at any time. If the active Phy port fails,  
the redundant Phy port automatically becomes the  
active port.  
450-1LX MDA -- single Phy MDA.  
Both models conform to the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX  
standard and use longwave 1300 nm fiber optic connectors  
to connect devices over single mode (5 km/3.1 mi) or  
multimode (550 m/1805 ft) fiber optic cable.  
Note: The optical performance of this transceiver  
cannot be guaranteed when connected to a multimode  
fiber plant without the use of the special offset  
SMF/MMF mode conditioning patch cord

1000BASE-LX Multimode Applications  
For 1000BASE-LX multimode applications, the longwave  
gigabit transceivers must be mode conditioned externally  
via a special offset SMF/MMF patch cord. The offset  
SMF/MMF patch cord allows the same transceiver to be  
used for both multimode and single-mode fiber. See your  
Nortel Networks sales representative for more information  
about the SMF/MMF patch cord.  
The 1000BASE-LX transceiver is designed to  
mechanically accommodate the single-mode ferrules used  
on one end of the special offset SMF/MMF patch cord.  
Multimode ferrules must not be used because they can  
bind and cause damage to the transceiver. Do not connect  
multimode cables directly into the 1000BASE-LX MDA  
transceiver. Instead, connect a special offset SMF/MMF  
patch cord into the transceiver, and then connect the  
multimode cable into the SMF/MMF patch cord.  
For more information about gigabit transmission over fiber  
optic cable and mode conditioning, refer to the following  
publication:  
Reference Note: Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer  
Considerations (Nortel Networks part number 201540-B)
