Ethernet Connections

There are two orientations of Ethernet connections. AUX has the securing tab towards the

top of the connector while MAIN has the securing tab towards the bottom of the

connector. Figure 44 illustrates the pin orientation and functionality of these connectors.

Figure 44 Ethernet connectors (MAIN and AUX)

The Ethernet connections implement Auto-MDIX, and therefore either ‘straight’ or

‘crossover’ Ethernet cables can be used, independent of the wiring of the connected

device.

Depending on the settings of in-band or out-of-band NMS, both the MAIN and AUX

ports can access the far-end radio (if in-band) or not (out-of-band). In the case of out-of-

band setting, only the AUX port can access the GUI, while only the MAIN port carries

Ethernet traffic across the link.
