Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch
309985-B Rev 00
1-3
The console port default settings are: 9600 baud with eight data bits, one stop bit,
and no parity as the communications format, with flow control set to Xon/Xoff.
Uplink/Expansion Slot
The Uplink/Expansion slot allows you to attach optional media dependent
adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types (see Appendix B, “Media
Dependent Adapters” for more information about MDA types available from
Nortel Networks).
10BASE-T Port Connectors
The BayStack 410-24T switch uses 10BASE-T (8-pin modular) port connectors.
All BayStack 410-24T switches are shipped with port connectors configured as
MDI-X (media-dependent interface-crossover). These ports connect over straight
cables to the network interface controller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar to
a conventional Ethernet repeater hub. If you are connecting to another Ethernet
hub or Ethernet switch, you need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection
exists on the associated port of the attached device (see “MDI and MDI-X
Devices” on page D-2).
The switch ports also support half- and full-duplex mode operation (see also
“Connecting 10BASE-T Ports and 10/100 MDA Ports” on page 2-8).
The switch uses RJ-45 port connectors to connect to 10BASE-T Ethernet
segments or nodes.
See Appendix D, “Connectors and Pin Assignments” for more information about
the RJ-45 port connectors.
Note:
The Console/Comm Port is configured as a data communications
equipment (DCE) connector. Ensure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are
configured for DCE connections (see “DB-9 (RS-232-D) Console/Comm Port
Connector” on page D-5).
Note:
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA ports (optional) must use Category 5
UTP cable to accommodate the 100BASE-TX functionality.
