Console port
The WX3000 series provides an RS-232 asynchronous serial console port, which can be used to
connect a background terminal (a PC, for example) for system debugging, configuration, maintenance,
management, and software loading.
As shown in Figure 1-9, the console cable is an 8-core cable with an RJ-45 connector at one end for the
console port of the device, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for the 9-pin serial port of the
configuration terminal.

Ethernet interfaces
1) Introduction
z
The WX3024 provides twenty-four 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports and four 1000Base-X SFP
ports.
Each SFP port and the corresponding 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port jointly form a Combo interface.
Only one of the two ports of a Combo interface can be used at a time. Table 1-9 lists the SFP and
electrical Ethernet ports that form the Combo interfaces.
