3.5.1

ETHERNET MANAGEMENT Port, RJ-45

The ‘ETHERNET MANAGEMENT’ interface is a standard 8‐pin RJ‐45 port,
operating at 10/100 Mbps, half and full duplex, auto‐negotiating. It is used for
Ethernet‐based remote management and control (M&C) of MCED‐100
functions via HTTP/SNMP.

The port features two operational LED indicators:

• LED 1 (to left) – Comms Link detected (glows amber)

• LED 2 (to right) – Activity detected (flashes green)

CONSOLE Interface Connector, DB-9M

The ‘CONSOLE’ interface is a 9‐pin Type ‘D’ male (DB‐9M) connector.
It is intended for connection to an M&C computer or terminal device,
and is used for EIA‐232 communications. The settings for this serial
interface are fixed at 38400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit
(8‐N‐1). Refer to Table 3‐3 for pinouts.
