Fabric Module 11
Console Port
The console port is connected to the configuration terminal using an RJ-45
connector. You can use the console port for system debugging, configuration,
maintenance, management, and loading application files.
The console port can also be connected to a modem for functions such as remote
system debugging, configuration, maintenance, and management. You can
configure the baud rate on the console port.
Table 6 lists console port specifications.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port on the Fabric is connected to a computer using an RJ-45
connector. You can use the Ethernet port for system application downloading and
debugging. The Ethernet port can also be connected to devices such as a network
management workstation to manage the system remotely.
Table 7 lists Ethernet port specifications.
See “Electrical Port Connector” on page 78 for an illustration of the RJ-45
