Security Level
We recommend the use of RJ-45 port (craft terminal port or the EMS port) on the ECU module to establish
LAN connectivity. The advantages of using the RJ-45 ports on the ECU module include:
• CAT-5 Ethernet cable connections can be managed better by routing the cable through the ECU module
cable exit area.
• If the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card fails, the LAN connection is not lost during the TNC, TNCE,
TSC, or TSCE card switch over.
If the ECU module is absent, you can connect a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the
TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card to create an external LAN connection.
You can use the same procedure to connect Multishelf Management ports of several chassis in MSM
configurations.
Note
To avoid duplex mismatch between EMS or craft terminal port and external LAN switch port, auto negotiation
must be enabled on the external LAN switch port. Note
Procedure
Step 1 Using 0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm² (#22 or #24 AWG) wire or a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable, connect the wires
to the RJ-45 connector.
Step 2
Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
