Connection

The control modules have two ports for attaching management consoles to the X-Pedition.

•A male DB-9 DCE port for direct serial connection from a terminal. You use this port to perform basic setup, including setting up the X-Pedition for management through the network using CLI or SNMP.

•An RJ-45 10/100BASE-T DTE port for Telnet connection from a host on the network. The port is configured for Media Data Interface (MDI). You use this port to manage the X-Pedition using CLI or SNMP.
