AC Input
– Provides a universal fused input for ac power. You can insert 100 Vac to 240 Vac
at 47 Hz to 63 Hz. When the dc power input is connected to a –48 V battery, the system
remains powered when the ac power is off. See section 4.3 on page 23.

Hard Discs
– Two slots which hold the SCSI hard disc drives. The MX250 requires one to
operate. The other serves as a redundant hard disk drive that is mirrored with the first one
in a RAID1 configuration. The system is shipped with one hard disc; a software license is
required to enable RAID1 redundancy of the second disc.

system to a technical support representative or when returning the system for repair or
replacement.
16.
Interface slots
– Each slot can accommodate one interface card for connection to the PSTN or
an ISP. There are four available types of interface cards:
•
FXS
: 8 analog subscriber-side circuits using loop start. See section 3.4.2.
•
FXO
: 8 analog exchange-side circuits using loop start or ground start. See section 3.4.2.
•
PCM
: 2 full-duplex PCM circuits which support T1 or E1 functionality. See section 3.4.3.

The MX250 supports the following circuits:
3.4.1
10/100Base-T
3.4.1.1
Usage
The MX250 has two 10/100Base-T Ethernet circuits. Power over Ethernet is not provided on either
circuit.
•
Circuit 1
connects to your LAN and provides data connectivity for the enterprise. You can
then use the MX250 firewall capabilities.
•
Circuit 2
can be used as an additional circuit to connect to your LAN or as the console circuit
for initial provisioning, as described in section 3.5.
