Installation
Cabling the Serial Craft Port
Cabling the Serial Craft Port
On the top I/O panel of the BROADway chassis there are two serial ports: SCP-1 and SCP-2. These
serial ports are used for craft access and will support a local or modem attached command line interface.
You can use SCP-1 for direct access using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal;
SCP-2 is for future use. Use the null-modem serial cable provided with the BROADway chassis to
connect SCP-1 to the serial port (COM1 or COM2) of a PC.
SCP-1 and SCP-2 are male, DB9 connectors. For pinout information related to SCP-1 and SCP-2, see
SCP-1 and SCP-2 Connector Pinouts on page A-2.
Cabling the Ethernet Port
The BROADway management interface can also be accessed through the two 10/100 Ethernet ports at
the front of the chassis: ETH-1 and ETH-2 can be used for IP/Ethernet access to the BROADway
system.
ETH-1 is wired as a crossover port to enable simple interconnection to a PC Ethernet adaptor. To
manage multiple BROADway systems at the same site simply plug a straight-through cable from
ETH-2 of the first BROADway chassis to ETH-1 of the next system. Continue to cable (daisy-chain)
from ETH-2 to ETH-1 for as many BROADway chassis as you have.
The ETH-1 and ETH-2 ports are female, RJ45 connectors. For pinout information on ETH-1 and
ETH-2, see ETH-1 and ETH-2 Connector Pinouts on page A-3.
