Cabling the Serial Craft Port

Cabling the Serial Craft Port

On the top I/O panel of the BROADway chassis there are two serial ports: SCP-1and SCP-2. These serial ports are used for craft access and will support a local or modem attached command line interface. You can use SCP-1for direct access using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal; SCP-2is for future use. Use the null-modem serial cable provided with the BROADway chassis to connect SCP-1to the serial port (COM1 or COM2) of a PC.

SCP-1and SCP-2are male, DB9 connectors. For pinout information related to SCP-1and SCP-2, see SCP-1 and SCP-2 Connector Pinouts on page A-2.

Cabling the Ethernet Port

The BROADway management interface can also be accessed through the two 10/100 Ethernet ports at the front of the chassis: ETH-1and ETH-2can be used for IP/Ethernet access to the BROADway system.

Connect an Ethernet cable from a PC to ETH-1.

ETH-1is wired as a crossover port to enable simple interconnection to a PC Ethernet adaptor. To manage multiple BROADway systems at the same site simply plug a straight-through cable from ETH-2of the first BROADway chassis to ETH-1of the next system. Continue to cable (daisy-chain) from ETH-2to ETH-1for as many BROADway chassis as you have.

The ETH-1and ETH-2ports are female, RJ45 connectors. For pinout information on ETH-1and ETH-2, see ETH-1 and ETH-2 Connector Pinouts on page A-3.
