Table 1 Front Panel Connections LABEL Power Switch Power Connection 24 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Fast Ethernet Ports (MES3500-24) 24 100 Mbps Fast SFP Slots (MES3500-24F) Four Dual Personality Interfaces Console Port Signal slot DESCRIPTION This is for DC model only. After you connect the DC power properly (see Section 3.1.4.2 on page 35.), put the power switch in the ON position to turn on the Switch. Connect an appropriate power supply to this port. Connect these ports to a computer, a hub, an Ethernet switch or router. Use transceivers in these slots for fiber-optic or copper connections to a computer, a hub, a switch or router. Each interface has one 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port and one Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) slot (also called a mini-GBIC slot), with one port or transceiver active at a time. • Four 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports: Connect these ports to high-bandwidth backbone network Ethernet switches using 1000BASE-T compatible Category 5/5e/6 copper cables. • Four MiniGBIC Slots: sUwseitcmheinsi.GBIC transceivers in these slots for connections to backbone Ethernet The console port is for local configuration of the Switch. Connect the signal input pins to signal output terminals on other pieces of equipment. Connect the signal output pins to a signal input terminal on another piece of equipment. 3.1.1 Console Port For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software configured to the following parameters: • VT100 • Terminal emulation • 9600 bps • No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit • No flow control MES3500-24/24F User's Guide 31
