Figure 2.9 shows the management module’s front panel.
Figure 2.9 FSX Management Module Front Panel
The front panel includes the following control features:
• A Console port
• 12 combination GbE Copper and Fiber ports
• 25 LEDs – One LED for power, 12 LEDs for the copper ports, and 12 LEDs for the fiber ports
• A recessed reset button
Gigabit Ethernet Ports on the FSX Management Module
The FSX management module’s front panel includes 12 combination copper and fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• RJ-45 copper interfaces for 1000Base-T, Cat5 copper cabling – The copper ports support automatic MDI/
MDIX detection, and use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps)
and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link, and adjust the port
accordingly. Note that ports operating at 1000 Mbps operate in the full-duplex mode only and cannot be
modified.
• Mini-GBIC slots for the types of fiber cabling listed in Table 8.9 on page 8-12.
NOTE: The Management Module does not support copper mini-GBICs.
NOTE: Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms which are
larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side by side into a
module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older modules are identified by the
number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the Serial Number. All newer mini-GBICs do not have
this limitation.
The Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports operate at a fixed speed of 1000 Mbps (they do not support 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
connections), and use auto-negotiation to automatically configure the highest performance mode of inter-
operation with the connected device.
One port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can be active at a time. For example, you can use either
copper port 2 or fiber port 2, but not both at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports
or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connector takes precedence
over the copper connector. These ports support true media automatic detection, meaning the device selects the
fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot be established, the device selects the
copper media.
Typical uses of these ports include but are not limited to the following:
• Connecting a PC through which you can access the system directly or through a Telnet connection and
configure, monitor, and manage the FSX system.
• Connecting a Gigabit Ethernet switch, which will provide connectivity to your existing management network.
You can then access the FSX system and configure, monitor, and manage the system from a management
station.
