Management Connections

This switch can be managed over built-in RJ-45 Ports 27-28, Ports 25-26

when optional 1000BASE-T/SFP uplink modules are installed, or over the

100BASE-T RJ-45 management port. The 100BASE-T port provides a

dedicated management channel that operates outside of the data transport

network, making it possible to re-configure or troubleshoot the switch

over either a local or remote connection to the management port when

access via the data channel is not possible or deemed insecure.

The figure below illustrates management-port connections to FTTH

switches.
