Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
These default settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation program.
Note
This terminal port does not allow you to connect to any module present in the expansion slot located in the rear of the chassis. To connect to a module in the rear expansion slot, you must use the RS-232 terminal port on the LED interface card, as described in “LED Interface Card” on page 21.
The 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port on the management card allows you to establish a remote management session and has a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The port has an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. For the port pinouts, refer to “RJ-45 Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on
page 103.
The twisted pair port is 10/100Base-TX IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation compliant and is capable of both 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps speeds. You can set the port speed manually through the AT-S70 management software or allow the port to set it automatically. With Auto- Negotiation, the management card automatically matches the highest possible common speed between the port and the Ethernet hub or switch. For example, if the Ethernet hub or switch is capable of only 10 Mbps, the management card sets the port connected to the end node to 10 Mbps.
Note
Auto-Negotiation is the default setting on the twisted pair port on the management card. To deactivate Auto-Negotiation and set the speed manually, refer to the AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide.
The twisted pair port on the management card can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. The twisted pair port is IEEE 802.3u-compliant and will Auto-Negotiate the duplex mode setting. You can disable Auto- Negotiation and set the duplex mode manually using the AT-S70 management software.
Note
In order for the twisted pair port on the management card to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with an end node, the end node should also be using Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur. Therefore, when you connect an
