Figure 6: PoE + Console SOCKET connector
Table 4 lists the pinouts for the Ethernet (PoE) + Console cable. The Console
DCE_TXD and DCE_RXD connections are only used for initial SkyZhone
configuration in the lab. While these pins are available at the SkyZhone
bulkhead connector mounted on the unit, they are not available with the standard
external POE cable that mates with this connector. This is to avoid surges on
these unprotected pins. Therefore a special cable is required to access the
Console pins. Since the console pins are not provided with surge protection, this
special cable is not suitable for permanent installation. If the PoE connection is
unsed it must have a dust cap installed to maintain an IP66 rating for the unit.
