INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Cabletron Systems 7H02-06 Fast Ethernet
SmartSwitch
™
Interface Module Installation Guide. This guide is a
simple reference for installing and using the 7H02-06 Module.
Before installing the module, carefully read this manual to gain a
full understanding of its capabilities.
The 7H02-06 Module is a six port Fast Ethernet module that
supports 10/100 operation in both half and full duplex. The 7H02-
06 Module supports auto negotiation allowing it to automatically
use the fastest link both it and the attached device are capable of.
Connectivity to the ports is provided by 5 RJ45 connectors and one
Fast Ethernet Port Interface Module (FEPIM), allowing either
Category 5 twisted pair or multimode fiber optic cabling. This
module connects to a network and the 7X00 SmartSwitch Control
Module in the 7C03, 7C04 or 7C04-R MMAC SmartSwitch via a
SmartSwitch bus.

Introduction
1.2 THE 7H02-06 MODULE
The 7H02-06 Module provides six Fast Ethernet ports via 5 RJ45
connectors and one FEPIM. The 7H02-06 Module can be installed
in:
• The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch
• The 7C04 Workgroup SmartSwitch Chassis
• The 7C04-R Workgroup SmartSwitch Redundant Chassis
The 7H02-06 Module has one backplane connection and six front
panel connections. The backplane connection provides power to
the 7H02-06 Module and a channel for communication with the
7X00 SmartSwitch Control Module. The six front panel ports
provide Category 5 Twisted Pair (UTP) and one user configurable
port for UTP or multimode fiber optic connectivity (through the
FEPIM).
1.2.1 CableType and FEPIMs
The 7H02-06 module has six front panel connectors that interface to
the 7X00 SmartSwitch through the chassis backplane. 100 Base-TX
connections are provided through 5 RJ45s; one FEPIM provides 100
Base-TX (via RJ45) or 100 Base-FX (via multimode SC).
Note: UTP operates at 10/100 Mbps, while Fiber operates at 100 Mbps.
Both UTP and Fiber are capable of half or full duplex operation.
