3.1 Front Panel
3.1.1 Console Port
One console serial port is provided in an RJ-45 shielded connector outlet, and is connected to the LMP,
which enables access to all major devices using command line interface commands for configuration and
monitoring. This port is also configured to be shared with the IPMC.
The serial port configuration is RS-232 compatible including XON/XOFF, baud rate, stop, and start bit
setting. The label for the console port is visibly different from the management Ethernet port to avoid
ambiguity that may be caused by RJ-45 connectors of the same type. The pin-out of the serial interface
RJ-45 connector is compatible to the Cisco serial port pinout as shown in
Table 2
, and the configuration
values are shown in
Table
