2.4.2 External Controls
The RS 2100 has the following external controls:
• Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection from a management
terminal. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the RS 2100. The default baud rate is
9600.
• 10/100Base-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for in-band management. The port is
configured as Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to establish a management connection to
the RS 2100 over an Ethernet segment.
• Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the RS 2100 in the event of a system failure. The Reset
switch is recessed in the RS 2100’s chassis.
• Status LEDs, described in the following table:
