Safety instructions
This documentation contains instructions which must be observed to ensure your own personal safety and to avoid damage to devices and machinery.
Important Information
Notice: Read these instructions carefully, and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, or maintain it. The following special messages may appear throughout this documentation or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.
The addition of this symbol to a Danger or Warning safety label indicates that an electrical hazard exists, which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
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 a 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:
1. Simply snap them onto a DIN rail. You can choose various media to connect terminal devices and other infrastructure components:
2. twisted pair cable
3. multimode F/O
4. single-mode F/O. The twisted pair ports support:
5. Autocrossing
6. Autonegotiation
7. 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.

Product configuration data can be provided by:
diagnosis displays
displaying the operating parameters
large label areas
The clear division of the diagnosis displays and the connection level allows you to view the LEDs easily.
Description of the modules
The industrial ETHERNET series PowerMICE (Modular Industrial Communication Equipment) consists of a basic switch module and the media modules. These devices can be managed. A basic module contains all the functions of this industrial Switch, with the exception of the interfaces to the LAN that is connected. Pluggable media modules provide these interfaces. They differ with regard to the number of interfaces and the media type for connecting segments. An expansion module enables you to add 2 slots for media modules to the basic module.

For the sake of simplicity, the basic switch module with various plugged-in media modules will be referred to as PowerMICE in this document.

PowerMICE basic module MS4128
The basic module of the PowerMICE contains all the functional units, such as: switch function, management function, redundancy function, display control, voltage connection, management connection, adjustable controls, slots for media modules.
Family            Designed for:
PowerMICE    larger numbers of ports  larger bandwidth requirement Selectable via media modules Number of 100/1000 Mbit/s ports
The basic module provides:
4 slots for 10/100 Mbit/s media modules
1 slot for 1 Gbit/s media modules
With the expansion module, you add 2 more slots for 10/100 Mbit/s media modules. With its 4-port media modules, the basic module allows you to connect up to:
16 network segments or
24 network segments when using an expansion module and additionally
4 Gigabit network segments when using a 4-port Gigabit media module.
medis  modules
The media modules form the interface from the device to the LAN. The media modules can be used in the basic module. An expansion module enables you to add 2 slots for media modules to the basic module.
An expansion module enables you to add 2 slots for media modules to the basic module.
They differ with regard to the number of interfaces and the media type. The different interfaces of the media modules provide you with the following interface-specific functions:
Specific functions of TP/TX interface
ink Control
Auto Polarity Exchange
Autonegotiation
Autocrossing (device may be connected with a crossed-over or an uncrossed cable)
Specific functions of F/O interface
Link Down monitoring
Transceiver-specific (AUI-specific) functions
Collision recognition
Collision test (SQE)
Protection from permanent network connection (Jabber Control)
DTE Power Monitor

Depending on the basic module setting, the LEDs display, among other things, the data reception and the connection status.

MM22-T1T1T1T1 PoE media module
The MM22-T1T1T1T1 PoE media module (deeper module design) supports Power over ETHERNET (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3af. It allows the connection and remote supply of IP telephones (Voice over IP), webcams, sensors, printer servers and WLAN access points via 10BASET/100BASE-TX, for example. With PoE, these terminal devices are powered by the twisted-pair cable.
The MM22-T1T1T1T1 media module has four 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports (RJ45 connections) for connecting network segments or PoE terminal devices (PD, Powered Device) up to class 0 (or respectively class 3).
The current is supplied on the free line pair (spare pairs); the individual ports are not electrically insulated from each other.
The following conditions are met in accordance with IEEE 802.3af:
Endpoint PSE
Alternative B.
MM4 media modules
The 4-port MM4-4TX/SFP media module has 4 TP interfaces and 4 sockets for SFP modules from Hirschmann.
The 2-port MM4-2TX/SFP media module has 2 TP interfaces and 2 sockets for SFP modules from Hirschmann.
The Gigabit slot of the PowerMICE (slot on the left side next to the switch basic module) supports two Gigabit ports.
When you use an SFP module, you get an optical interface. You thus deactivate the corresponding TP interface.
MM4 - 2TX/SFP
MM4 - 4TX/SFP
MB-2T expansion module
THE MB-2T expansion module allows you to add 2 slots for media modules to the basic module.
SFP modules
SFP modules are optical transceivers (Fast ETHERNET and Gigabit ETHERNET SFP modules - see. SFP stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable and is also often referred to as mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter).
The SFP modules are plugged into the SFP slots of the Fast ETHERNET media module MM20-Z6Z6Z6Z6 or the Gigabit ETHERNET media modules MM4-4TX/SFP and MM4-2TX/SFP in order to have an F/O port. Module MM20-Z6Z6Z6Z6 has 4 SFP slots for connecting SFP modules (100 Mbit/s).
Modules MM4-4TX/SFP and MM4-2TX/SFP have, respectively, 4 and 2 TP interfaces and 4 and 2 slots for connecting SFP modules (1000 Mbit/s). By inserting the SFP module, you deactivate the corresponding TP interface.
Power consumption/power output, temperature range, and order numbers
Note: For the extended temperature range, use suitable modules and transceivers. You will identify these components by the “EEC” name extension or the open variant product code “E” (position 15).
