Physical Interface Configuration
The OM 2000 supports up to 8 logical ports, physical interface ports 1 through 8. To
set up a logical port, you must configure the parameters found in the OM 2000
Physical Interface Configuration window, illustrated in Figure 4-15.
Figure 4-15 — OM 2000 Physical Interface Configuration window
The Physical Interface Configuration screen shows the physical interface type
options available on the OM 2000. (Note that Types 4 and 8 on the screen are not
used.) These type options are:
1.
Console — This option displays the console port settings. The console port
provides asynchronous communications at a 9600 baud data rate. It is used only
for maintenance.
2.
RS232 (DB-9) — This option configures the operating parameters for this physical
port. This port is configured for asynchronous communications, and the data rate
is configured between 300 and 19.2 Kbps.
3.
Ethernet — There are no configurable parameters for this physical port. An
information-only label displays the MAC address; this information can also be
obtained through the in the Element Manager by selecting
Configuration > Network
