3.2.2.1 CONTROL Port and Connector
The RS-232 asynchronous supervisory port has a DCE interface that supports a data rate of 9600
bps.
Initial configuration of the MEX6200 is performed using the CLI management interface from
any ASCII terminal (dumb terminal or personal computer (PC) running a terminal emulation pro-
gram) directly connected to the MEX6200 serial CONTROL connector.
After the initial configuration, the MEX6200 may be managed, supervised, and configured by a
Web browser or an SNMP network management system.
The CONTROL connector is a 9-pin D-type female connector with RS 232 asynchronous DCE
interface, intended for direct connection to a supervision terminal. The connection to the supervi-
sion terminal is by means of a straight cable (a cable wired point to point). The connector is
wired in accordance with the following table.
3.2.2.2 ETH Port and Connector
The MEX6200 can be accessed through the Ethernet 10/100 Base T LAN port for local manage-
ment. The MEX6200 ETH port is a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface terminated in an RJ 45 con-
nector. The port can be connected by a standard station cable to any type of 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet port.
Connector pin functions are listed in the following table.
3.2.2.3 MNG Ports and Connectors
The MEX6200 is equipped with two SFP based MNG ports labeled "MNG 1" and "MNG 2".
These ports enable remote management of a MEX6200 unit or local cascading in a multi-chassis
application.
