Serial Port
This port is for connecting a local management console. It is required to access
the text-based Command-Line Interface (CLI) for initial configuration of the
Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. It can also be used for management,
troubleshooting, and to enable the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port
for higher-level management functions.
The port accepts an RS-232 serial cable with an RJ-45 male connector. See
page 39
for more port and cable specifications.
See the
Alcatel AOS-W User’s Guide
for information on using the features
available through this port.
10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) Management Port
When enabled, the FE management port provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
access to the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch CLI, SNMP, and Web interface for
complete system management and troubleshooting. It can also be used to
connect to a separate management network.
The management port accepts a 4- or 8-conductor Category 5 UTP Ethernet
cable with an RJ-45 male connector. A straight-through cable is required for
connection to a network port. A crossover cable is required for connection to a
management workstation. See
page 41
for more port and cable specifications.
The management port has an LNK/ACT LED on its left side. During operation,
the LED provides the following status information:
