Note:
The intra-building ports of the equipment are suitable for connection to intra-
building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the
equipment must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to
the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for
use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports, as described
in GR-1089–CORE, Issue 6) and requires isolation from the exposed OSP
cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to
connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Note:
Intra-building ports include Media and Signaling Network Interfaces, Network
Management Ports, Alarm Ports, and Console Port.
Console Port
The Acme Packet 4600 has one console port located on the rear-facing NIU.
The Acme Packet 4600 ships with a console adapter that allows you to connect
a standard DB-9 serial port to the Acme Packet 4600’s RJ45 console port.
Only one console port on the Acme Packet 4600 can be used at a time.
Chassis Console Cabling Procedure
This section explains how to create a serial connection to the Acme Packet 4600
console port. Use the console port for permanent connections to a terminal server or
other serial device.
To connect a console cable to the console port:
1.
Locate a twisted pair console cable to connect to the Acme Packet 4600.
2.
Remove the rubber dust cap from the Chassis console port if present.
3.
Insert the RJ45 connector on the end of the console cable into the console port
labeled Console . The release tab on the RJ45 jack clicks into place when you
insert it properly.
4.
Lead the console cable neatly away from the rear panel toward a terminal server
or other component where this serial connection terminates.
