Management Features
Two management LAN ports (MGT LAN 0, MGT LAN 1) are provided on the RSP/RP front panel.
These are triple-speed RJ-45 connectors for use as out-of-band management ports.
An Auxiliary (AUX) port and Console port are also provided on the RSP/RP front panel. These are
EIA/TIA-232 (also known as RS-232) asynchronous serial ports for connecting external devices to
monitor and manage the system.
The RSP/RP card front panel also has a two synchronization (SYNC) timing ports that can be configured
as BITS or J.211 ports. These ports provide connections for external timing and synchronization sources.
Alarm Connector
Each RSP/RP card drives a set of three alarm output contacts. Alarm circuitry on the RSP/RP card
activates dry contact closures that are accessible through a nine-pin connector on the RSP/RP faceplate.
Both normally open and normally closed contacts are available.
