RT-XMIM-2E1/RT-XMIM-4E1/RT-XMIM-8E1
When the RT-XMIM-2E1/RT-XMIM-4E1/RT-XMIM-8E1 interface module changes to the fractional E1 (E1-F) mode, the interface module name displayed from the command output on the device will be changed to RT-XMIM-2E1-F/RT-XMIM-4E1-F/RT-XMIM-8E1-F accordingly.
Introduction
The RT-XMIM-2E1/RT-XMIM-4E1/RT-XMIM-8E1 is a 2/4/8-port XMIM module that can operate in channelized E1 (CE1/PRI) mode or fractional E1 (E1-F) mode.
· In channelized E1 (CE1/PRI) mode, the module can group the 31 channels in multiple ways to achieve different bundling configurations. Its primary function is to receive, transmit, and process E1 data streams while also providing CE1 access. In addition, it supports also ISDN PRI. These features enable multiple purposes to be achieved on a single module.
· In non-channelized E1 mode, the module functions as a synchronous serial port with a data bandwidth of 2.048 Mbps and no timeslot division.
· In fractional E1 (E1-F) mode, the module can only be bundled once (into a single channel with a speed of n × 64K, where n = 1 to 31), and does not support PRI mode.

Jumper caps
The RT-XMIM-2E1/RT-XMIM-4E1/RT-XMIM-8E1 interface module provides jumper caps, the installation status of which determines the interface impedance. By default, each pin pair is installed with a jumper cap and the impedance of an E1 interface is 75 ohms.
To connect a 120-ohm cable to an E1 interface, remove the jumper caps from the pins corresponding to the interface.
Figure2-13 Default installation status of jumper caps (RT-XMIM-8E1 as an example)

Every two interfaces on the interface module correspond to a jumper connector, and the pin settings are the same for the jumper connectors. You can set different impedance modes for the interfaces. For example, an RT-XMIM-8E1 interface module has four jumper connectors, with each jumper connector corresponding to two interfaces. The pins on a jumper connector are numbered PIN1 through PIN14. To set the impedance to 75 ohms for E1 interface 0, install jumper caps on pins 1 and 2, pins 3 and 4, and pins 5 and 6. To connect a 120-ohm cable to the E1 interface, remove the jumper caps from these pins. Table2-15 displays the mapping relations between pins on jumper connectors and E1 interfaces.

10/100 Mbps Ethernet uses category-5 twisted pair cables, and 1000 Mbps Ethernet uses category-5 enhanced or category-6 twisted pair cables. Twisted pair cables include straight-through cables and crossover cables.
Category-5 cables provide a transmission frequency of 100 MHz for voice and data transmission; they are mainly used in 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T networks. Category-5 cables are common Ethernet cables, which can also be used to transmit 1000 Mbps Ethernet data.
Category-5 enhanced cables feature low attenuation and crosstalk, providing higher attenuation to crosstalk ratio (ACR), less delay error and higher performance than category-5 cables. Category-5 enhanced cables are mainly used in 1000 Mbps Ethernet networks.
Category-6 cables provide a transmission frequency of 1 MHz to 250 MHz, and improve the performance on crosstalk and return loss. A fine better return loss performance is extremely important for new-generation full-duplex high-speed networks. Category-6 cables have sufficient power sum ACR (PS-ACR) when working at 200 MHz. They provide a bandwidth two times than that of category-5 enhanced cables, thus featuring a higher transmission performance. Therefore, category-6 cables are suitable for applications requiring a transmission speed of more than 1 Gbps.
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet uses two pairs of cables, orange/white, orange, green/white and green cables, to transmit and receive data, while the 1000 Mbps Ethernet uses four pairs of cables to transmit and receive data.
For the pinouts of common twisted pair cables, see the following tables. (A and B represent the two ends of a cable respectively.)

NOTE: Strictly follow the pinouts in the above tables when identifying or making the two types of Ethernet cables; otherwise, the communication quality may be affected. |
Connecting an Ethernet cable
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet interface on the module and the other end to the Ethernet interface on the peer device. Because the Ethernet interface of the module supports MDI/MDIX autosensing, you can use a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the interface.
2. Check the status of the LED of the Ethernet interface after power-on. For the status of the LED, see the relevant part in this manual.
Fiber port
Appearances and applicable models of transceiver modules and optical fibers
Optical interfaces must work with SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers with LC connectors. For more information about interface module and transceiver module compatibility, see H3C MSR Router Series Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix.
Connecting an optical fiber
|
CAUTION: · Never stare into an open optical Ethernet interface, because invisible rays may be emitted from the optical Ethernet interface. · Cover the dust cover if no optical fiber connector is connected to the optical Ethernet interface. |
To connect an optical fiber:
1. Insert the transceiver module to the interface on the interface module or service module.
2. Identify the Rx and Tx ports on the transceiver module. Plug the LC connector at one end of one fiber cable into the Rx port of the router and the LC connector at the other end into the Tx port of the peer device. Plug the LC connector at one end of another fiber cable into the Tx port of the router and the LC connector at the other end to the Rx port of the peer device.
3. View the LINK LED after connection.
¡ If the LED is on, the optical fiber link is present.
¡ If the LED is off, no link is present. This may be because the TX and Rx port of the optical fiber are not connected correctly. In this case, connect the optical fiber again.

5 Link mode of interfaces on Ethernet switching modules and interface modules
An interface can operate in bridge or route link mode.
You can use the port link-mode command to change the link mode of an interface. Interfaces that operate in bridge mode are called Layer 2 interfaces. Interfaces that operate in route mode are called Layer 3 interfaces.
By default, the interfaces on all interface modules operate in route mode. The interfaces on some interface modules support link mode change from route to bridge on specific routers.
For example, the interfaces on an RT-SIC-4GSW-G interface module operate in route mode by default. When the interface module is installed on an MSR3610-G-X3, MSR3610-G-X3-DC, MSR3610-G-X3-DP, or MSR3610-G-X3-DP-DC router, the interfaces support link mode change from route to bridge.
For information about the supported link modes of interfaces on interface modules, see Table5-1.
