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.
