DLEHF-MA Overview

DLEHF-MA User’s Guide

1-3

1.1.1

Connectivity

The DLEHF-MA has two front panel slots (ports 1 and 2) for optional 
Fast Ethernet Interface Modules to support an uplink to 100 Mbps 
Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local server.

The DLEHF-MA also has two front panel slots for optional High Speed 
Interface Modules to provide for additional connectivity to other high 
speed networking technologies such as ATM, WANs and FDDI.

1.1.2

Full Duplex Switched Ethernet 

The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules can be configured to 
operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode, which provides 
200 Mbps of throughput per interface.

1.1.3

Auto-Negotiation

The optional DELTX-UI Fast Ethernet Interface Module can 
auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another 
device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange 
information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The 
Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be 
reached between the two devices. For example, a DLEHF-MA 
DELTX-UI Fast Ethernet Interface Module adjusts to 100 Mbps when the 
device on the other end of the connection can also adjust between 10 or 
100 Mbps. If the device on the other end of the connection can only 
operate at 10 Mbps, then the DLEHF-MA DELTX-UI Fast Ethernet 
Interface Module simply adjusts to 10 Mbps operation.

When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two 
devices dynamically adjust to full or half duplex operation based on the 
maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. If the 
device connected to the DLEHF-MA cannot auto-negotiate, the 
DLEHF-MA Fast Ethernet Interface Module operates according to the 
capabilities of the other device.

1.1.4

Management

Management of the DLEHF-MA is accomplished using Local 
Management tools or remote SNMP management stations.
