Using the Business Policy Switch 2000 Version 2.0
Console port
The console port allows you to access the console interface (CI) screens and
customize your network using the supplied menus and screens (see Chapter 3).
The console port is a DB-9, RS-232-D male serial port connector. You can use this
connector to connect a management station or console/terminal to the Business
Policy Switch by using a straight-through DB-9 to DB-9 standard serial port
cable. You must use a VT100/ANSI-compatible terminal (for cursor control and
to enable cursor and functions keys) to use the console port. See
Installing the
Business Policy Switch 2000 for more information.
The console port default settings are: 9600 baud with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
parity as the communications format, with flow control set to enabled.
Uplink/Expansion slot
The Uplink/Expansion slot allows you to attach optional media dependent
adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types (see Appendixes for more
information about MDA types available from Nortel Networks).
Port connectors
The Business Policy Switch uses 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 (8-pin
modular) port connectors.
