console port. An RS-232 to RJ-45 adapter is required.

Fabric Interface Hub System:

A 48-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch that provides PICMG 3.1 Option 2 (2.0 Gb/s) Ethernet service for a full 14-slot ATCA chassis. All connectors for the fabric interface hub and it’s processor are labeled “fabric”.

Ethernet Interfaces:

The 3.1 Fabric Interface switching system provides 48 ports of Gigabit Ethernet service with PICMG 3.1 option 2 (2.0 Gb/s) links for all line cards installed and option 3 (4.0 Gb/s) for up to 6 slots. Four ingress/egress ports are available on the front panel. An additional Gigabit Ethernet port (ISL) on the backplane interconnects the switches together for high availability configurations. If the OpenArchitect environment is running, any in-band port can be used to establish a telnet session.

Management Interfaces:

The Ethernet Switch Blade features a RS-232 console port located on the front panel that allows communication with the switch when the Out-of-Band Ethernet port is not available or in-band Ethernet service cannot be established with the switch. A hyperterminal application is recommended to contact the Ethernet Switch Blade through a telnet session when using the console port. An RS-232 to RJ-45 adapter is required.

Connecting to the Base Interface

Base Interface Serial Port Connection

The switch console can be accessed via a RJ-45 10/100 service port located on the front panel of the Ethernet Switch Blade. The RS-232 RJ-45 console port may be used to recover from a system failure. It is used for maintenance only and is generally not connected.

An RS-232 to RJ-45 adapter cable is required to connect to the console port of the switch.

Figure 10.2 Shows the RJ-45 serial console (1) and Out-of-Band (OOB) ports (2) for the Base Interface.
