The port adapters attach to the VIP motherboard. (See Figure 7.) Each port adapter contains the
physical connections for the VIP interface types to connect to your network.
Figure 7 VIP with One 4R and One 4T Port Adapter (Product Number VIP-4R/4T[=])
Following are the VIP port adapters by interface type:
• Ethernet 10BASE-T—4E
• Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX—FE-TX
• Synchronous serial—4T
• Token Ring—4R
Following are the supported electrical interfaces:
• 4E port adapter—10BASE-T Ethernet, using RJ-45
• FE-TX port adapter—IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX, using Media Independent
Interface (MII) or RJ-45
• 4T port adapter—synchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232, EIA-TIA-449, EIA-530, V.35, and X.21;
determined by the cable), using DB-60, 60-pin mini-D-sub connectors
• 4R port adapter—IEEE 802.5 Token Ring, using DB-9, 9-pin D-sub connectors
Note The VIP-4R/4T is a fixed configuration. The entire VIP-4R/4T assembly is a FRU. Port
adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each
port adapter’s faceplate.
