Chapter 1 BayStack 380 Switch 27

The Console port is a DB-9, RS-232-D male serial port connector. You can use this connector to connect a management station or console/terminal to the BayStack 380 Switch by using a straight-through DB-9 to DB-9 standard serial port cable. You must use a VT100/ANSI-compatible terminal (for cursor control and to enable cur sor a nd fun ctions keys) to use t he cons ole po rt. Se e I nstalli ng the BayStack 380 10/100/1000 Switch for more information.

Note: The console port is configured as a data communications equipment (DCE) connector. Ensure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are configured for DCE connections (see Appendix D, “Connectors and pin

assignments,” on page 201).

The Console port default settings are: 9600 ba ud with eig ht data bits, one st op bit, and no parity as the comm unications format, with fl ow control set to enabled.

Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface Converter

Small Form Factor Pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel Networks products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with Short Wavelength (SX), Long Wave length (LX), and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexed (CWDM) fiber optic networks.

Port connectors

The BayStack 380 Switch uses 10/100/ 1000B ASE-TX RJ-45 (8-pin modular) port connectors.

The 10/100/1000BASE-TX port connectors feature auto-MDI-X (media-dependent int erf ace- cross ov er ). These port s conn ect o ve r strai ght- through cables to the network interface card (NIC) in a node or server, similar to a conventional Ethernet repeater hub. However, with this feature and auto-negotiation enabled, you can still use straight-through cables while connecting to an Ethernet hub or switch.

For details on pin assignments and for directions on how to make your own cross-over cables, see “Appendix D, “Connectors and pin assignments,” on page

201).

Using the BayStack 380 10/100/1000 Switch

28 Chapter 1 BayStack 380 Switch

The BayStack 380 Switch uses autosensing ports designed to operate at 10 Mb/s (megabits per second), 100 Mb/s, OR 1000 Mb/s (1 gigabit) depending on the connecting devic e. These por ts supp ort the IEEE 802.3u, 802.3z for 1000SS, or

802.3ab for 1000TX autonegotiation standard, which means that when a port is connected to another device that also supports the IEEE 802.3u, 802.3z for 1000SS, or 802.3ab for 1000TX sta ndard, the two de vi ces ne gotiate the best speed and duplex mode.

The BayStack 380 Switch features auto-polarity. With autonegotiation enabled, auto-polarity automatically reverses the polarity of a pair of pins from positive to negative or negative to positive. This c orrects the pol arity of the received data if the port detect s tha t the polar ity of the data h as bee n r e v ersed due to a wiring error.

The 10/100/1000BASE-TX switch ports also support half- and full-duplex mode operation at 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s (refer to Installing the BayStack 380 10/100/ 1000 Switch).

The 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ-45 ports can connect to 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s (1 gigabit) Ethernet segments or nodes.

212859-A

Note: Use only Category 5 copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable connections when connecting 10/100/1000BASE-TX ports.

Note: I EEE 1000B ASE-TX re quires op erating in full- duple x mode with auto-negoti ati on enabled.

See Appendix D, “Connectors and pin assignments,” on page 201 for more information about the RJ-45 port connectors.
