Module versus chassis
M4-8TP-RJ45 adds copper interfaces to a compatible modular MACH4000 system. Record the installed chassis, slot position and neighboring modules before ordering. The module is not an independent network switch.
Port assignment
Label all eight RJ45 cables and check speed, configuration and link alarms for each occupied position. Compare a proposed PoE variant separately because it has different power implications.
