MII Modules
The IntraSwitch 5308FL has two Media Independent Interface
(MII) expansion slots which allow for the addition of various
types of media access modules, including:
❏ 10/100Base-TX
❏ 100Base-FX
❏ 10Base-FL (ST connector)
The MII modules are sold separately and comply with IEEE
802.3 and 802.3u (10/100Base-T and 100Base-FX) specifica-
tions.

ule without turning the IntraSwitch 5308FL’s
power off.
