2.3.2 Data Ethernet Connector
The unit has four Ethernet ports - two for data input, and
two for data output and will respond to ARPs, pings and
other low-level Ethernet traffic. The ports are accessible
via RJ-45 connectors on the rear panel of the chassis.
These are labeled Ge 1, Ge 2, Ge 3 and Ge 4. Ge 1 and
Ge 2 are used for data input, while Ge 3 and Ge 4 are
data output.
