SER MGT System Console Port Pin-out
The Acme Packet 1100 SER MGT system console port is accessed through the RJ45 jack in the
rear of the system. Because the Acme Packet 1100 does not employ any type of flow control on
its RS-232 ports, only the RX, TX, and GND pins are used. The following table identifies the
pin assignments and signal names/descriptions for the SER MGT console connector.

2 Ground (GND)
6 Transmit Data (TX)
Ethernet LEDs
Each Ethernet jack has two integrated LEDs, one to indicate Link and one to indicate Activity,
as shown in the illustration below. The LED pair is located directly above its associated port.
These LEDs are explained in the following subsections.
Link LED
The link LED glows orange when a link has been established between the link partner device
and the SBC.
Activity LED
The activity LED glows green when an Ethernet connection has either transmit or receive
packet activity.
Upon initial bootup, the Acme Packet 1100 Ethernet ports are not configured. You must first
connect to the Acme Packet 1100 over a serial connection before you can configure the
management Ethernet ports for use. Set up the management interfaces using the physical and
network interface configuration elements. Refer to the System Configuration chapter of the
Configuration Guide for details.
Once the management network interface is configured, it should be reserved for the following:
• Maintenance activities
• Application log retrieval
• Software upgrades
• System configuration
