These default settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulation program.

Note

This terminal port does not allow you to connect to any module
present in the expansion slot located in the rear of the chassis. To
connect to a module in the rear expansion slot, you must use the
RS-232 terminal port on the LED interface card, as described in
“LED Interface Card” on page 21.

10/100Base-TX

Twisted Pair Port

The 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port on the management card allows you
to establish a remote management session and has a maximum operating
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The port has an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
For the port pinouts, refer to “RJ-45 Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on
page 103.

The twisted pair port is 10/100Base-TX IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation
compliant and is capable of both 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100
Mbps speeds. You can set the port speed manually through the AT-S70
management software or allow the port to set it automatically. With Auto-
Negotiation, the management card automatically matches the highest
possible common speed between the port and the Ethernet hub or switch.
For example, if the Ethernet hub or switch is capable of only 10 Mbps, the
management card sets the port connected to the end node to 10 Mbps.

Note

Auto-Negotiation is the default setting on the twisted pair port on the
management card. To deactivate Auto-Negotiation and set the
speed manually, refer to the AT-S70 Management Software User’s
Guide
.

The twisted pair port on the management card can operate in either half-
or full-duplex mode. The twisted pair port is IEEE 802.3u-compliant and
will Auto-Negotiate the duplex mode setting. You can disable Auto-
Negotiation and set the duplex mode manually using the AT-S70
management software.

Note

In order for the twisted pair port on the management card to
successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with an end node, the
end node should also be using Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a
duplex mode mismatch can occur. Therefore, when you connect an
