Installing Passport 8600 Switch Modules
Management port
The Management port is a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port implemented on an RJ-45
connector wired as an MDI connection. Table 17 shows the pin assignments for
this connector.
Console serial port
The Console serial port is implemented as a DB-9 connector. This port can
operate as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equipment
(DCE) device. Use the switch to the left of the port to set the port to DTE (left) or
DCE (right). Default settings for this port are 9600 bits/s, 8 data bits, no parity,
and one stop bit.
Because the Console port expects to receive data set ready (DSR) and clear to
send (CTS) signals before transmitting, these control lines are required in the
cabling. The Console port does not support any inbound flow control; that is, the
port does not toggle control lines to indicate an input buffer full condition.
