1-4 6E123-50 and 6E133-49 User’s Guide
1.3.1 Connectivity
The 6E123-50 and 6E133-49 connect to Ethernet networks or
workstations through 4 RJ21 ports on the front panel. These ports support
25-pair cable at lengths up to 100 meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T compliant.
The 6E123-50 has two front panel slots (ports 5 and 6) for optional Fast
Ethernet Interface Modules to support an uplink to 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local server.
The 6E133-49 has one front panel slot for an optional High Speed
Interface Module to provide for additional connectivity to other high
speed networking technologies such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM), Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), and Wide Area
Networks (WANs).
1.3.2 Full Duplex Switched Ethernet
The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules for the 6E123-50 can be
configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode, which
provides 200 Mbps of bandwidth.
1.3.3 Management
Management of the 6E123-50, 6E133-49, 6C105 chassis and any optional
equipment (Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and HSIMs) is accomplished
using Local Management tools or remote SNMP management stations.
Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the
front panel using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via
a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band
remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network
Management Software.
