  SFP Interfaces

  Dual 10G-Slot Interfaces

  Serial Cable Connection

  AC and DC Power Connection


This section describes the switch's physical interfaces and provides information about cable connections.

Stations are connected to the switch's ports through the physical interface ports on the front panel. For each station, the appropriate mode (Half/Full Duplex, Auto) is set.


10/100/1000 Ethernet Interface

The switching port can connect to stations wired in standard RJ-45 Ethernet station mode using straight cables. Transmission devices connected to each other use crossed cables. Figure 4-1 illustrates the RJ-45 connector.

SFP Interfaces

SFP interfaces are on the console front. Figure 4-2 illustrates an SFP connector.

Dual 10G-Slot Interfaces

The slots on the rear of the 6200 series switches support dual XAUI interfaces. These interfaces can operate at 10 Gbps when supporting an XFP module, or 12 Gbps (left slot only, as seen from rear) when supporting a stacking module. Figure 4-3 illustrates the XAUI slots.

Serial Cable Connection

You can use a serial cable (null-modem) to connect the switch to a terminal for initial setup and configuration (You can also use a computer running terminal emulation software.). The switch's serial cable is a female to female DB-9 crossover cable (see Figure 4-4).

Connecting the Switch to a Terminal

  1. Connect the serial cable to the terminal (console) ASCII DTE RS-232.

  2. Connect the interface cable to the switch's serial port (see Figure 4-5).

  3. If you are configuring a stack, connect the interface cable to the serial port of the Master switch.

AC and DC Power Connection

  1. Using a 5-foot (1.5 m) standard power cable with safety ground connected, connect the power cable to the AC main socket located on the rear panel (see Figure 4-6).

  2. Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

  3. If you are using a redundant DC power supply, such as the RPS600 or EPS470, connect the DC power cable to the DC socket located on the rear panel (see Figure 4-6).

  4. Confirm that the device is connected and operating correctly by examining the LEDs on the front panel.

For a complete explanation of the LEDs, see "LED Definitions."
