Using the Passport 8100 Modules

Note: Nortel Networks recommends using the Passport 8190SM module to configure and manage your switch. The Comm port on the Passport 8132TX module is active only when no Passport 8190SM module is present and when the Passport 8132TX module is operating as the master module.

The Comm port on the Passport 8132TX module is configured as a data communications equipment (DCE) connector. Be sure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are configured for DCE connections.

LEDs

The Passport 8132TX module has LEDs (Figure 1-4) to indicate operational status of the ports and the module. Each port has two integrated LEDs to indicate link speed and activity for that port. In addition, the module has three LEDs to indicate system operating conditions.
