3.3.7 Management Ports
The RS 3000 has two ports for attaching management devices:
Male DB-9 DCE port – This serial port is used for direct connection to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation
software. Use this port to perform basic setup using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
RJ-45 10/100Base-T DTE port – This Media Data Interface (MDI) port is used for in-band management of the
RS 3000 through a Telnet session to the CLI or through SNMP.
Connecting the Serial Management Cable
Use the serial cable to connect the RS 3000, RS 3x00 or RS 3200 to a terminal (or to a PC running terminal emulation
software) to perform initial setup and configuration. The RS 3000, RS 3x00 or RS 3200’s serial cable is a female to
female DB-9 crossover cable. Figure 3-13 shows the serial port on the front of the RS 3000, RS 3x00 or RS 3200, and
Figure 3-14 shows the serial port’s pin-out. Table 3-3 maps the wiring of the serial cable
