Alarm Port
Lead the alarm cable neatly away from the rear panel toward any alarm monitoring
equipment. The following figure shows a Acme Packet 6300/6350 with an alarm
cable properly connected.
Connected Alarm Port Cable
Network Management Ports
Standard shielded CAT5e or CAT6 (or higher) Ethernet cables with RJ45 jacks are
used for connecting the Acme Packet 6300/6350 management Ethernet ports to your
network. These ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
Note:
Keep Ethernet cables separated from power cables by at least 60mm where
possible and never run them in the same channel of a trunking system
without segregation.
Cabling Procedure
To connect Ethernet cables to the rear panel Ethernet ports:
1.
Locate the Ethernet cables you plan to connect to the Acme Packet 6300/6350.
2.
Insert the RJ45 connector on the end of the Ethernet cable into one of the NIU
management Ethernet ports. These ports are labeled Mgmt0, Mgmt1, and Mgmt2.
The release tab on the RJ45 jack will click into place when you insert it properly.
