9.4 Ethernet Interfaces
The front panel ETH0 Ethernet connector is intended for service use only or for
debugging purposes in laboratory environment. The computer which is
connected to this interface must be located nearby the shelf manager with an
Ethernet cable that is not longer than 10 m.
The front panel Ethernet connector MUST NOT be connected to a
Telecommunication Network Circuit that leaves the building.
The ETH0 interface of the shelf manager can manually be switched between the
front panel RJ45 connector (“Front”-position of the rocker-switches) and the
backplane connector going to the hub board base interface (“Back”-position of
the rocker-switches).
The ATCA specification requires a base channel interface between the shelf
manager and the Hub board. The ETH0 rocker-switches MUST be in “Back”-
position in normal operation of the shelf manager in an ATCA-shelf.
