FCC NOTICE
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment uses,
generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed in accordance with the operator’s
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
WARNING: Changes or modifications made to this device which are not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus
set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux
appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté
par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
VCCI NOTICE
This is a class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by
Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment, radio
disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user may be required to take corrective actions.
CLASS A ITE NOTICE
WARNING: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

ER16-GTX32-04
The ER16-GTX32-04 is a copper-based 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet module for the
Enterasys X-Pedition platform. The ER16-GTX32-04 provides four ports of 1000Base-T
switched and routed connectivity through Category 5 RJ45 connectors and is ideal for
high-speed collapsed backbones and server-farm connections. The ER16-GTX32-04
delivers full-function Layer-2, Layer-3, and Layer-4 switching and routing.

Options Available
The ER16-GTX32-04 provides switching and routing on hardware, thereby eliminating
the performance bottleneck caused by a single processor. The module supports application
switching (i.e., Network Address Translation, Server Load Balancing, Per-Flow Rate
Limiting, Access Control Lists, and full RMON/RMON 2) and extra features like the
Local Hardware Routing Table, Port Rate Limiting, Aggregate Rate Limiting, and Jumbo
Frames that are essential for Application Service Providers, Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU)
Service Providers, and Large Enterprise Networks.
The ER16-GTX32-04 offers ten times the bandwidth available through the existing
Category 5 infrastructure and interoperates with all existing X-Pedition Router modules.
This allows network managers to leverage their existing cabling infrastructure and
equipment without an extensive upgrade.
