9.2.1 Front RJ-45 Craft User Port
The user can access an NE via an Ethernet port located on the front of the TE-2020 Main Fan Tray. This
port uses a standard
NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) which enables a user to connect to any
Turin Networks TE-2020 without any additional IP configuration changes to the interfacing computer
device. in essence it creates a standard IP configuration that converts IP packets as they cross the boundary
between nodes within the network. The user can plug into one node and retrieve information from any
other node within its network. Every ETH-F address is configured the same from the factory and it is rec-
ommended not to change this configuration.
Figure 9-2 User Port and Cable
This interface port can be accessed directly using a standard Ethernet cable.

9.2.2 Rear RJ-45 Ethernet Ports
The rear RJ-45 Ethernet ports are used for connection to EMS (e.g., TN-Xpert) systems as well as support
for TN-Relay™ (Remote IP DCN Transport). The ports are numbered R1 and R2 as shown in Figure 9-4.
