COM 2 PORT AND TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS

 

The COM 2 port supports a Digital Equipment Corporation VT200™ or 
VT300™ series terminal (or emulation of one of these terminals). This 
section lists the specifications for the front panel COM 2

 

 

 

port and the 

necessary terminal requirements to access ETWMIM Local 
Management.

An RJ-45 connector provides the interface to a management terminal. 
The maximum COM 2 cable length is 50 feet. Figure 2-1 illustrates the 
required pin configuration.
