RS232 (Console)
The port labeled
Console
is an RS232 serial port on the back side of the chassis in Arctica
3200cs and Arctica 4808xs, and on the front side in Arctica 1600cs. It is used for initial configuration
and debugging. Upon first installation of the system, you need to connect a PC to this interface and
configure network parameters for remote connections. Refer to
FRU Replacements
to view the full
procedure.
Management
The RJ45 Ethernet ports labeled
MGT
provide access for remote management. The management
ports are configured with auto-negotiation capabilities by default (100MbE to 1000GbE). The
management ports’ network attributes (such as IP address) need to be pre-configured via the RS232
serial console port or by DHCP before use. Refer to
FRU Replacements
to view the full procedure.
In the Arctica 1600cs systems there is only one MGT port.
Ensure you use only FCC compliant Ethernet cables.
