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 57 illustrates
the pin orientation and functionality of these connectors.
Figure 57 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.
