1 Device description
The PowerMICE devices consist of a switch with media modules that can be 
plugged into it. The devices have 4 slots for 10/100 Mbit/s media modules 
and 1 slot for 1 Gigabit module. The slot for the Gigabit module supports 2 
Gigabit ports. The expansion module provides you with 2 additional slots for 
10/100 Mbit/s media modules. Each media module provides you with 2 to 4 
ports for connecting network segments.
The PowerMICE devices are designed for the special requirements of 
industrial automation. They meet the relevant industry standards, provide 
very high operational reliability, even under extreme conditions, and also 
provide long-term reliability and flexibility.
The devices work without a fan.
The voltage is supplied redundantly.
The following installation options are available:
 simply snapping them onto a DIN rail
You can choose various media to connect terminal devices and other 
infrastructure components:
 twisted pair cable
 multimode F/O
 singlemode F/O
The twisted pair ports support:
 Autocrossing
 Autonegotiation 
 Autopolarity 
The following software variants are available:
 MICE MS4128-L2P: Layer 2 Professional
 MICE MS4128-L3E: Layer 3 Enhanced
 MICE MS4128-L3P: Layer 3 Professional
There are convenient options for managing the device. Administer your 
devices via: 
 a Web browser
 Telnet
 management software (e.g. Industrial HiVision)
 a V.24 interface (locally on the device)
The ring redundancy concept allows the network to be reconfigured quickly 
after a failure.
