NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for this connector, refer to
page A-7. 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.
Data Interface Module (Rear Panel)
The Data Interface Module (DIM)
−
or rear connector module
−
mates with
the associated WANsuite 5165 module and connects it to the data equipment.
As shown in Figure 1.2, the rear panel of the DIM 5165 provides the
following:
•
Two RS-232 DB-25 connectors
•
Two RJ-48C jacks
• One 8 -pin modular 10/100Base-T Ethernet port
The two DB-25 connectors are serial data ports (labeled DATA 1 and DATA
2 ), and the two RJ-48C jacks are network interfaces (labeled NET 1 and
NET 2 ).

10/100 Ethernet
The WANsuite 5165 provides one 10/100 ETHERNET interface. This interface
is an 8-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-8 for pin
assignments and cable descriptions.
