8692omSF module 67

Note that you use this port only as a management port. This port provides out-of-band management for the 8691omSF module.

DCE/DTE switch

The DCE/DTE switch changes the pin assignments on the Console port. Use this switch to designate the connector as either DTE or DCE. For information about pin assignments for the Console port, see "Console serial port" (page 130).

Serial ports

The 8691omSF module provides two serial ports for attaching modem and console devices. You can use the console port to access the 8691omSF module with a terminal using the CLI. Use the modem port to connect a standard modem for out-of-band, dial-up management. For information about pin assignments for these ports, see "Console serial port" (page

130)and "Modem serial port" (page 130).

Reset button

Use the recessed Reset button on the module to perform a hard reset or reboot of the system.

PC Card slot

The PC Card slot in the 8691omSF module accepts an ATA-type, SanDisk-compatible flash memory card. This memory card provides a convenient way to store switch configurations and boot images. Using a memory card, you can quickly transfer configurations and images between switches or store multiple configurations for a single switch.

Supported memory cards for the 8691omSF module include the following:

•Modem cards that are compatible with Intel 8250 or National 16552 serial ports

•LAN cards from 3COM 589, 562, or 556 equipment.

8692omSF module

Dual 8692omSF switch fabric modules ("8692omSF module" (page 68)) enable a maximum switch bandwidth of 512 Gb/s. Using the Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT) protocol in the core, a redundant Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 with two 8692omSF modules can provide over 1 terabit per second (Tb/s) of core switching capacity.
