Fabric Module 11Console PortThe console port is connected to the configuration terminal using an RJ-45connector. You can use the console port for system debugging, configuration,maintenance, management, and loading application files.The console port can also be connected to a modem for functions such as remotesystem debugging, configuration, maintenance, and management. You canconfigure the baud rate on the console port.Table 6 lists console port specifications.Ethernet PortThe Ethernet port on the Fabric is connected to a computer using an RJ-45connector. You can use the Ethernet port for system application downloading anddebugging. The Ethernet port can also be connected to devices such as a networkmanagement workstation to manage the system remotely.Table 7 lists Ethernet port specifications.See “Electrical Port Connector” on page 78 for an illustration of the RJ-45connector and MDI/MDI-X pinout details.Table 8 describes the LEDs of the Ethernet port.Table 6 Console Port SpecificationsSpecification DescriptionPort connector RJ-45Port standard Asynchronous EIA/TIA-232Baud rate 9600 bps (by default)Transmission distance 15 m (45 ft)Services Connects with character terminalConnects with local or remote PC serial port and runs terminalemulation on a PC (a pair of modems are required for aremote connection)Table 7 Ethernet Port SpecificationsSpecification DescriptionPort connector RJ-45Number of port(s) 1Port speed 10 Mbps, half/full duplex100 Mbps, half/full duplexMDI/MDIX auto sensingCable and maximum transmissiondistanceCategory-5 twisted pair for transmission within 100 m(328 ft)Port function Switch software upgrade and network managementTable 8 Ethernet Port LEDsLED DescriptionLINK Off — The line is not connected.Green — The line is connected.
