The MANAGEMENT Port
The 9-pin, male, Out-of-Band Management (OBM) port labeled MANAGEMENT
functions as a DTE port.
This port enables attachment of a terminal, either local or remote, through a modem
connection. The terminal can be used to configure and monitor the switch.
The Out-of-Band Management port automatically detects the baud rate of the
terminal to which it is attached.
Token Ring Ports
•
Twenty shielded RJ-45 connectors for Token Ring connection.
— Support for the IBM Cabling System via 150 ohm, shielded twisted-pair
(150 ohm STP); or 100 or 120 ohm unshielded twisted-pair via Category
3, 4, or 5 cables.
— These ports allow half-duplex (HDX) or full-duplex (FDX) connections to
other switches, hubs, or end nodes.
