System component description
SP Management module
The management module on the SP provides the management connections via one
10/100/1000 Ethernet (RJ-45) port. Another RJ-45 port is available to support a service
laptop connection. The management module includes two RS-232/EIA232 (DB-9) serial
socket connectors (one for service laptop connection and the other for SPS connection)
and several status LEDs (Figure 23).
Figure 23 SP Management module
SP Management module Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
The two integrated dual-port Ethernet ports (labeled with a symbol depicting a wrench and
a network management symbol, respectively) are available on the rear of the SP
management module. The network management port provides an interface for connecting
a 10-, 100-, or 1000-Mb/s cable to the LAN providing full-duplex (FDX) capability, which
enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data.
To access the network management port, connect a Category 3, 4, 5, 5E, or 6 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable to this RJ-45 modular jack connector on the back of the SP
management module, as described in Table 19 on page 42.
Since the Control Station and the management module have the same type of
management (RJ-45) ports, “Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) ports” on page 42 provides
detailed information about the SP management module ports, connector, and adapter.
