software and node configuration information. An ejection button is located beneath each PCMCIA
slot; push the button to remove the card.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port on the MPC is a 10BaseT port with an RJ-45 connector. It is used to connect the
Cisco 6200 to its management station. See Appendix A, “Pin Assignments,” for pinouts.

cause a critical alarm.) Use the Cisco 6200 Manager or the command line
interface to identify the problem.
MAJOR Red The system is experiencing a major alarm. A major alarm affects several
subscribers. (A total SLC failure, which affects all of the subscribers connected
to that card, causes a major alarm.) Use the Cisco 6200 Manager or the
command line interface to identify the problem.
MINOR Yellow The system is experiencing a minor alarm. A minor alarm affects a small
number of subscribers. (A partial SLC failure causes a minor alarm.) Use the
Cisco 6200 Manager or the command line interface to identify the problem.
