The SAN router front panel provides two AC power receptacles, an
Ethernet LAN connector (MGMT), port status LEDs, green power

(SYS) LED. The panel also provides a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port
(MGMT) for connection to a local terminal or remote terminal.
Although the port is typically used by authorized maintenance
personnel, operations personnel can use the port to configure SAN
router network addresses.
