7.4.2.1 Accessing the EMS Through the Remote Network Port

The Remote provides a Network port allowing communications with the internal

processor and transfer of service data to the optical protocol allowing IP servicing

between the Host and Remote(s). This port is customer accessible for monitoring the

interface with the subtended Host and ENET subtended devices at the Remote. The

Network port is 10/100/1000 BASE-T MDI and requires a minimum of CAT 5 cable.

The network cable must be terminated with a hardened RJ-45 male connector for

connection to the Network port. The maximum cable length is 300 feet (91.4 m).

Use the following procedure to install the Network cable and then log in to the EMS.

Although the Network port on the Remote is a GigE port, the available bandwidth is only

100Mbps (part

of this bandwidth is used for system management services).

You cannot dedicate a full 100Mbps of band

width for external ethernet services off the

Remote’s Network port. For example, if connecting a WiFi

access point to the Remote’s

Network port, you need to reduce the available bandwidth to less than 1

00Mbps (such

as, 50Mbps).
