1 Introduction to this Guide
This guide describes the EDA Ethernet Controller Node ECN and is valid
for both the ECN330 and the ECN320. The term ECN refer to ECN320 and
ECN330. The term ECN switch refer to ECN320 and ECN330 in switch
mode. The term ECN320/ESN310 switch refer to ECN320 in switch mode.
When an ECN is illustrated in a figure, an ECN330 with an uplink port 27 is
used. The appearance of the ECN320 is the same just without this uplink
port.
The guide describes the concept, the hardware and the functionality. Fur-
thermore, it provides an overview of software features, and detailed infor-
mation on how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the
ECN.
The guide is intended for both installation personnel and system adminis-
trators responsible for operating and maintaining network equipment.
The reader should have a basic knowledge of general switch functionality,
the Internet Protocol (IP), and Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) in order to understand and utilize the information in the sections
describing the Command Line Interface (CLI) and management.
The guide does not attempt to give a complete explanation of the various
standards, but rather the implementation of the standards in the ECN. For a
more information of the standards, please refer to the standard specifica-
tions.
In order to fully understand the function and use of the ECN, it is recom-
mended to read the System Overview and PEM User Guide.
The guide can be printed on a monochrome printer, but illustrations are
easier to understand if a color printer is used.
