Console Port The console port allows you to connect a terminal and perform remote or
local out-of-band management. The console port uses standard null
modem cable and is set to auto-baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop
bit.
Expansion Module
Slot
You can use this slot to install an Expansion Module; for example, a
100BASE-FX Module that provides an additional high-speed link, or a
Matrix Module that provides four matrix ports for stacking Switch units
together. 3Com provides a range of Expansion Modules; contact your
supplier for availability. For more information about Matrix Modules, see
“Stacking Units” on page 26 .
When an Expansion Module is not installed, ensure the blanking plate is
secured in place.
Matrix Port The matrix port allows you to:
■
Stack the Switch with another unit in the Switch 1100/3300 family
using a single Matrix Cable
■
Stack the Switch with up to three other units in the Switch 1100/3300
family, if one of the units has a Matrix Module installed
For more information about the role of the matrix port, see “Stacking
Units” on page 26 .
