3.2.1.1 Ethernet Traffic Connector Group
3.2.1.1.1 WAN Port
The ‘WAN’ port is used exclusively to send traffic to the CTOG-250 WAN
segment. This is done specifically by connecting this port to the ‘GE1’ port on
the rear panel of the CDM-800. Once the components are connected and
power is applied to the CTOG-250, the units self-connect, configure, and
synchronize without any user intervention required.
3.2.1.1.2 LAN-1 and LAN-2 Ports
The LAN-1 and LAN-2 ports connect the CTOG-250 to the LAN side segment.
This segment typically includes a switch that allows for incoming and
outgoing traffic from and to the user’s LAN segment (see Figure 7-1 in
Chapter 6. QUICK START GUIDE). The IP addresses of these ports can be set
from either the CTOG-250 Serial Interface or the CTOG-250 Web Server
Interface.
1. This link carries traffic out of the CTOG-250 directly into the
CDM-800. There must never be any router or switch
installed on this link between the CTOG-250 and the
CDM-800.
2. If there is an existing CDM-800 deployed in the customer’s
network, the design of the CTOG-250 is such that its
installation into the existing setup will cause the CTOG-250
unit to automatically take over from the active CDM-800.
The CDM-800’s configuration can be pulled into the
CTOG-250 by using the CTOG-250 Web Server Interface
‘Utility | CTOG-250 Unit’ page “Sync Configuration From
CDM-800” feature.
Both ports are always active in this firmware release.
