You can configure and monitor Ethernet interfaces with Nokia Network Voyager. Specifically,
you set the port speed and full-duplex or half-duplex mode by using Network Voyager.
The following figure shows Ethernet NIC front panel and LED details.

After the power is turned on, the Ethernet link LEDs on the appliance and on the remote
equipment illuminate to indicate the connection. As data is transmitted, the activity LEDs on the
appliance light up.
Ethernet NIC Connectors and Cables
The connectors on the Ethernet NIC are RJ-45 connectors:
To connect to a hub, use a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
To connect directly to a host, use an RJ-45 crossover cable.
For further details about cables that you should use, see “NIC Interfaces” on page 88.
Caution
Cables that connect to the Ethernet NIC must be IEEE 802.3 compliant to prevent
potential data loss.
You can order appropriate adapter cables separately. You can order additional cables from a
cable vendor of your choice.
