Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port on the Fabric is connected to a computer using an RJ-45
connector. You can use the Ethernet port for system application downloading and
debugging. The Ethernet port can also be connected to devices such as a network
management workstation to manage the system remotely.
Table 6 lists Ethernet port specifications.
See “Electrical Port Connector” on page 64 for an illustration of the RJ-45
connector and MDI/MDI-X pinout details.
Table 7 describes the LEDs of the Ethernet port.
Module LEDs The module LEDs show the status of the I/O modules, as described in Table 8.
