2.0PORT STRUCTURE

2.1OVERVIEW

The front panel of the 10/100M provides access to the management (serial console), UTP and fiber ports. The fiber port will vary depending on the connector type; ST, SC, MT-RJ, LC or SFP supporting 100BASE-FX transceivers. The plug-in module features two additional Ethernet ports for connectivity via the chassis backplane.

2.1.1Management Port

The 10/100M features a Serial RS-232 Console Port (aka Craft Interface) which can be connected to a computer for initial setup and configuration. The Serial Console Port is accessed through the mini DIN-6 female DCE interface. Connect the interface to a computer’s DB-9 serial port using the mini DIN-6 male to DB-9 female cable adapter (Part # 8082-0), which is included with the 10/100M.

An optional DB-9 male to female straight-through serial cable is available for extension (Part # 8081-3).

2.1.2UTP and Fiber Ports

The UTP Ethernet port supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX protocols, auto-negotiation and manual forced modes for half and full duplex. The UTP port can be enabled or disabled via network management. A port disabled with the Port Access Control feature will still connect and allow 802.3ah OAM or IP-less (secure) OAM communication, but blocks normal data traffic.

The fiber interface supports the 100BASE-FX protocol. The fiber interface always operates in manual mode and supports half or full duplex operation. The fiber port can be enabled or disabled via network management. A port disabled with the Port Access Control feature will still connect and allow 802.3ah OAM or IP-less (secure) OAM communication, but blocks normal data traffic.

2.1.3Backplane Ethernet Ports

The plug-in module supports two additional 10/100Mbps Ethernet Backplane Ports. The Backplane Ports A and B allow Ethernet data connectivity between adjacent modules in an iConverter chassis. The two backplane ports can be disabled or enabled via a DIP-switch or network management.

The iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module, 2-Module and 1-Module Redundant Chassis backplanes provide ethernet data connectivity between adjacent slots or ports. The A and B backplane ports connect the slots as illustrated.
