Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router Connecting I/O Controller, NPE-G1, or NPE-G2 Cables Fast Ethernet MII Connections The MII port on the I/O controller is a 40-pin, D-shell-type connector that is configurable for 100 megabits per second (Mbps). The MII port supports IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with the 100BASEX and 100BASET standards. The MII connection requires an external transceiver that permits connection to 100BASEFX or 100BASET4 physical media. (See Figure 3-26.)

(PHY address 0 is defined in section 22.2.4.4 "PHY Address" of the IEEE 802.3u specification.) If you are unable to determine whether the transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0, we recommend using the transceiver's "Isolation Mode" setting, if present. Note To determine if an MII transceiver that is already connected to the MII port on the I/O controller responds to PHY address 0, ensure that the I/O controller Fast Ethernet port is configured as up and the MII port is configured as the media type, and then disconnect the transceiver from the MII port. If the Fast Ethernet port goes down, the transceiver responds to PHY address 0. The type of media you use between the MII connection and your router, switch, or hub determines the appropriate connectors for the network side of your 100BASET transceiver. Figure 3-27 shows the pin orientation of the MII port on the I/O controller. OL-5013-09 Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide 3-33
