2.3 Management Card
Management Network Port: Ethernet port for out-of-band management of the switch. To
configure the switch via the management network port, an IP address must be configured on the
port by accessing the switch through the serial port or connecting the switch to a network with a
DHCP server.
Config Ethernet Port: This port is reserved for future functionality.
Reset Switch: Recessed switch used to force a reset of the management card without physically
removing the card from the chassis.
Serial Console Port: RS-232 serial port used for direct configuration of the management card by
connection to a laptop or other external control device. The settings for the serial connection are
an initialized baud-rate of 115200, 8 bit, no parity, and no flow control. The table below shows
the pinout of the serial console port connector:
Pin Signal Direction
1 NC Not Connected
2 DTR Output from card
3 TXD Output from card
4 GND
5 GND
6 RXD Input to card
7 DSR Input to card
8 NC Not Connected
External USB Port, Activity Indicator and Stop Switch: These three elements are reserved for
future external USB functionality and are not currently supported. Note: the stop button in this
grouping is currently unsupported and does not reset the management card. To reset the
management card, use the recessed reset switch.
LEDs: For full description of LED states, see Appendix 1: LED States on page 22.
