Chapter 6: On-Site Configuration procedures
Configure the Ethernet Switches
In order to operate in the base station, the Ethernet switches require custom settings. You need to
configure the Ethernet switches only once; the configuration is stored in the switch’s nonvolatile
memory.
You can connect to the Ethernet switch by connecting a custom serial cable with a null modem
adapter to the console port located on the front panel.
Figure 6.2 shows the connections for the Ethernet switch serial cable.
