Media Interface
Cards
If your D20/D200 system is enabled for Ethernet using the D20EME board, then you
need a Media Interface Card (MIC). There are three types of media interface cards,
all of which are two-channel modules. For Jumper Settings on the various cards, see
“MIC Jumper Options”, page 81.
For LED ope
rational indicators, see “Media Interface Cards LED Indicators”, page
117.
Interconnect
Cable
The interconnect cable links an “Ethernet” D20EME main card to a MIC card. The
cable carries two channels of Ethernet traffic and power for the MIC card.
