COMPONENT OVERVIEW
The EXT LNK LED and EXT ACT LED indicate the respective link and activity over
the EXT Ethernet port on the rear of the chassis. See the section on Network
Management Ports for further information on the meaning and use of these LEDs as
they pertain to the EXT port.
INT Ethernet Port The INT 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port allows for connectio
n to an internal network
(e.g., IPBX). The INT and EXT Ethernet ports are media ports.

Management Ports for further information on the meaning and use of these LEDs as
they pertain to the INT port.
NET MGT Ethernet
Por
t
The NET MGT 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port allows for configuring the Acme Packet
1100 and for providing high availability (HA) for the chassis. Two Acme Packet 1100s
can connect from their respective NET MGT Ethernet port to a single Ethernet
switch and be configured in an active/standby HA configuration.
The NET MGT LNK LED and NET MGT ACT LED indicate the
respective link and
activity over the NET MGT Ethernet port on the rear of the chassis. See the section
on Network Management Ports for further information on the meaning and use of
these LEDs as they pertain to the NET MGT Ethernet port.

USB Port The USB port is reserved for software-enab
led applications such as firmware and
system upgrades and for remote access by customer service representatives. The

directed by a customer service representative.
SER MGT System
Cons
ole Port
The SER MGT port provides system console access to the Acme Packet 1100 via a
console over an RS-232C serial connection. The SER MGT console port is useful for
customers who want permanent console access to the Acme Packet 1100.

Console port communication is used for administration and maintenance purposes
from a central location. Tasks conducted over a console port include:
• Creati
ng the initial connection to the Acme Packet 1100
• Accessing and using all functionality available via the ACLI
• Performing in-lab system maintenance
SER MGT System
Cons
ole 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.
1.) In the ACLI software, the INT port is referred to as s0p0.
2.) In the ACLI software, the NET MGT port is referred to as wancom0.
3.) In the ACLI software, the SER MGT port is referred to as COM2.
