AMT-70/AMT-73/AMT-75 Installation and Operation
5.3 Using the Ethernet Port
The back panel Ethernet modem management port (P6 for the AMT-70 and J9 for the AMT-73L) is
used to interface the modem with the network. This port is dedicated to receive and process the
management requests. These requests come from a workstation and/or a management server station.
The modem network management is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite. The typical client applications
TELNET / FTP are used to manage the modem.
The M&C demod port (P7 for the AMT-70 and J10 for the AMT-73L) is used only for downloading the
firmware on the demodulator card.
Both ports support the dual speed 10/100 Mbps. At power on, the speed is negotiated between the
modem and the repeater/hub/router on your network. For setting the unit network / routing addresses,
the CLI commands tsetcfg /rsetcfg are used. They are discussed in more detail later on in this chapter.
The network setting can also be configured through the front-panel using the FUNC/NETWORK
(Figure 19) selection.
When connecting a PC Ethernet port directly to the modem (P6 or J9, as above), use a crossover
cable. Refer to Paragraph 0 for pin-outs of the 10/100 Ethernet ports.
5.4 Starting the Modem
When the modem is powered up, the following message appears on the terminal connected to the
back-panel serial interface (P6 or M&C Interface);
