Interworking Information
The 3Com

LinkBuilder
®
TP
Transceiver Interface Module has been
designed to the IEEE 802.3 10BaseT
specification.
The Transceiver Module can transmit
and receive Ethernet 10 Mbit/sec
traffic over Shielded or Unshielded
Twisted Pair cable. The Transceiver
Module features crossover
(MDI/MDIX) switching, SQE Test
selection and link monitoring using the
Link LED (Light Emitting Diode).
The Transceiver Module is used to
provide connectivity to twisted pair
cable on the following LinkBuilder
products:
•
ECS modules (3C12076, and
3C12050/1)
•
MSH modules (3C18110, 3C18120,
3C18124, 3C18146 and 3C18600 )
•
FMS Stackable Hubs (3C16250,
3C16265, 3C16271 and 3C16371)
•
FMS II Stackable Hubs (3C16665,
3C16670, 3C16671 and 3C16672)
LinkBuilder TP/12 (3C16170) and
LinkBuilder TP/8i (3C16181) hubs
Repeaters (3C16170, 3C16200, 3C16210
and 3C16505).
This product has the benefit of a
"lifetime warranty", details of which
are given on page 4 of this manual.

Setting up the Module
MDI/MDIX
The PL2 component switches the TP
port between MDI and MDIX.
MDI is the default setting and allows
the Transceiver Module to be
connected by normal twisted pair
cable to an MDIX port on another hub
to form an inter-repeater link.
If MDIX is selected the Transceiver
Module can be connected to a
workstation or any other Data
Terminal Equipment. It can also be
connected to another hub which is
already set to MDI to form an
inter-repeater link.
See Figure 1 to locate the MDI/MDIX
jumper and then Figure 2 to ensure
you have the correct selection.
This manual details the installation and use of the 3Com TP Transceiver Interface Module,
3C12063. Please retain this manual with your other 3Com manuals for future use.
