MICE Media modules
The Modular Industrial Communication Equipment, MICE, is a modular network component. It was developed particularly for use in an industrial environment.
The media modules described in these instructions are the interface of the device to the LAN and can be plugged into the following basic modules of the MICE switch:
– MS2108-2 (MICE 2000)
– MS3124-4 (MICE 3000)
– MS20-… and MS30-…
The MB20 expansion module allows you to add 2 slots to the MS20-1600, MS30-1602, and MS3124-4 MICE switch basic modules for installing media modules.
The media modules are exclusively intended for use with Hirschmann MS... modular switches.
MICE allows you to construct switched Industrial ETHERNET networks that conform to the IEEE 802.3 standard.

Safety instructions: Certified usage. Please observe the following:
Warning!
The device may only be employed for the purposes described in the catalog and technical description, and only in conjunction with external devices and components recommended or approved by Hirschmann. The product can only be operated correctly and safely if it is transported, stored, installed, and assembled properly and correctly. Furthermore, it must be operated and serviced carefully.
Supply voltage
To be supplied by an NEC Class 2 power supply via MICE switch module.
For Power over Ethernet modules: Connect a NEC Class 2 power supply only.
Use +60/75 °C or +75 °C copper (CU) wire only.
Use a potential-free supply voltage only. Ground the supply voltage otherwise via GND. A positive grounding of the supply voltage is not permitted.

1.1 SWITCH bASIC MODULES The documentation enclosed to the switch basic module gives you a detailed description of the switch basic modules: – “User Manual Installation Industrial ETHERNET Switch MICE MS20/MS30” for MS20-… and MS30-… – “User Manual Installation Industrial ETHERNET Switch Power MICE” – “Description and Operating Instructions Industrial ETHERNET Modular Industrial Communication Equipment MICE/Power MICE” for – MS2108-2 (MICE 2000) – MS3124-4 (MICE 3000).
1.2 MEDIA MODULES
MICE 2000: See Table
1. – MICE 3000: See Table
2. – MICE 4000: See Table
3. – MICE media modules open variant: See Table.
1.3 Mb20 (OLD DESIGNATION: Mb-2T) EXPANSION MODULE
The MB20 expansion module allows you to add 2 slots to the MS20-1600, MS30-1602, MS3124-4 MICE switch basic module for installing media modules.
1.4 SFP MODULES
SFP modules are optical transceivers (Fast ETHERNET and Gigabit ETHERNET SFP modules; see chapter 7, Technical Data). Plug SFP modules into the SFP slots of the Fast ETHERNET media module MM3-4SFP (MM20-Z6Z6Z6Z6) or the Gigabit ETHERNET media modules MM4-4TX/SFP / MM4-2TX/SFP to provide an F/O port.
The MM3-4SFP (MM20-Z6Z6Z6Z6) has four slots for SFP modules (100 Mbit/s). The MM4-4TX/SFP / MM4-2TX/SFP has four/two TP interfaces and four/two slots for SFP modules (1000 Mbit/s). Inserting the SFP module deactivates the corresponding TP interface.
1.5 MM22-T1T1T1T1 POE MEDIA MODULE
The MM22-T1T1T1T1 PoE media module (deeper module style) supports Power over ETHERNET (PoE) in compliance with IEEE 802.3af. It enables the connection and the remote supply of e. g. IP telephones (voice over IP), webcams, sensors, print servers, and WLAN access points via 10BASE-T/100BASETX. With PoE, the power supply of this data terminal equipment is served via the twisted-pair cable.
The MM22-T1T1T1T1 media module offers four 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports (RJ45 connectors) for connecting network segments or PoE data terminal equipment (PD, Powered Device) up to class 0 (respectively class 3) maximum.
The current is supplied on the idle wire pairs (spare pairs); the ports are not electrically isolated from each other. In compliance with IEEE 802.3af, each port has the attributes:
– Endpoint PSE
– Alternative B.
1.6 MM24 -T1T1T1T1 DIGITAL I/O MODULE
The Digital I/O Module MM24 allows the control of different actuators of the system via 4 digital inputs and outputs. For further information, see the user manual for the MICE digital I/O module MM24.
