Ethernet and Console Ports
The two 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports on the HiveManager labeled MGT and LAN use standard RJ-45
connector pin assignments that follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see
Figure 2 ). They accept standard types
of Ethernet cable—cat3, cat5, cat5e, or cat6. Because the ports have autosensing capabilities, the wiring
termination in the Ethernet cables can be either straight-through or cross-over.
Figure 2 Ethernet port LEDs and pin assignments
The pin assignments in the male DB-9 console port follow the EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) RS-232
standard. To make a serial connection between your management system and the console port on the
HiveManager, you can use a null modem serial cable, use another serial cable that complies with the RS-232
standard, or refer to the pin-to-signal mapping shown in
Figure 3 on page 78 to make your own serial cable.
Connect one end of the cable to the console port on the HiveManager and the other end to the serial (or COM)
port on your management system. The management system must have a VT100 terminal emulation program,
such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems).
Serial Number Label The serial number label contains the FCC compliance stamp, model number, input
power specifications, and serial number for the device.
AC Power Inlet The three-prong AC power inlet is a C14 chassis plug through which you can connect
a HiveManager to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source using the 10-amp/125-volt IEC
power cord that ships with the product.
On/Off Switch The on ( | ) and off (

) switch controls the power to the HiveManager.
Power Fan The fan that maintains the temperature of the power supply.
The default IP address/netmask for the MGT interface is 192.168.2.10/24. For the LAN interface, the
default IP address/netmask is 192.168.3.10/24. The IP address of the default gateway is 192.168.2.1.

The Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and can automatically adjust to transmit and receive data over straight-through
or cross-over Ethernet connections. For a diagram showing T568A and T568B wiring, see
"Ethernet and Console
Ports" on page 10 .
