NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for this connector, refer to
Supervisory Port Pin Assignments on page A-10. See Ordering
Information on page A-6 for information on cables for this connector.
The Supervisory port performs several different functions. It serves as the
VT100 interface port, providing VT100 screens. It also supports asynchronous
PPP, providing access to the Web Server interface. In addition, the
Supervisory port is an asynchronous data port. Data is encapsulated in frame
relay packets and then transmitted through the Network port.
On power-up, the Supervisory port sends out diagnostic messages at the bit
rate of 115.2 kbps until the Supervisory service acquires the Supervisory port.
These diagnostic messages can disrupt the connected device; however, you
can configure the unit to disable their transmission.
NOTICE: A null modem (crossover) cable is required to connect a modem to the
Supervisory port.
10/100 Ethernet
The WANsuite 5160/5130 provides one 10/100 ETHERNET interface. This
interface is an eight-pin modular jack that complies with standard
twisted-pair, 10/100Base-T requirements. The 10/100Base-T cable is supplied
by the end user. Refer to Ethernet Connection Pin Assignments on page A-9
for pin assignments and cable descriptions.
Ethernet LED Indicators
There are two unlabeled indicator LEDs on either side of the
10/100 ETHERNET jack. The LED on the left side of the jack pulses amber to
indicate data activity (either transmit or receive). The LED on the right side of
the jack lights green to indicate that the link layer is operational.
Serial Interface(s)
The two SERIAL interfaces on the 5160 and the single SERIAL interface on
the 5130 located on the rear of the units are multi-protocol interfaces
presented physically as DB-25 connections. The protocols supported by these
interfaces are RS-232, EIA-530, and V.35.
Optional cables that adapt the DB-25 interface to the 34-pin V.35 interface
are available. These cables are listed under Optional Equipment on page A-6.
DB-25–to–DB-25 cables are also available if your installation needs require
them. See Ordering Information on page A-6 for details. Pin assignments for
the Serial interface are also listed in Appendix A, Specifications.
