Ethernet LED Each network management Ethernet port has two integrated LEDs: one LED
indicates Link, and the other indicates Activity. The LED pair is located
directly above its associated port.

Link LED The link LED is located to the top left side of the network management
Ethernet port. This LED illuminates yellow when a link has been established
between the link partner device and the Acme Packet 6100.
Activity LED The activity LED is located at the top right side of the network management
Ethernet port. The activity LED illuminates green when an Ethernet
connection has either transmit or receive packet activity.
Upon initial bootup of the Acme Packet 6100, the network management
Ethernet ports are not configured. You must first connect to the Acme Packet
6100 over a serial connection before you can configure the management
Ethernet ports for use. Set up the management interfaces using the physical
and network interface configuration elements. Refer to the
System Configuration
chapter of the Acme Packet Configuration Guide for details.
Once the network management interface is configured, it should be reserved
for the following uses:
• Maintenance activities
•
Application log retrieval
• Software upgrades
•
System configuration
• Telnet, SSH, SNMP, FTP, and SFTP connections
•
RADIUS CDR transmission
Acme Packet recommends that you use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet
cables with RJ45 plugs for connecting to the rear-panel Acme Packet 6100
Ethernet interfaces. These Ethernet interfaces have a distance limitation of 328
feet (100 m), as defined by the FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
Signaling and
Media Interfaces
The signaling and media interfaces provide network connectivity for signaling
and media traffic. Each interface can connect to a network over optical
modules at 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) speeds.
The NIU is available in a 2-port 10 GigE configuration. The NIU can be
populated with different 10G SFP+ optical modules.
The optical 10 GigE ports can accept an LC fiber connector using either single
mode or multimode cable.
