LAN Cable Connection (for Operation Management)

This ETERNUS DX60/DX80 must be connected to a LAN to perform settings or maintenance
operations via GUI or CLI, to monitor the device status, or when operating with remote support.
User must prepare their own LAN cables (enhanced Cat-5 twisted-pair type).

To help with cable management and prevent incorrect connections, attach
labels to the cables and make a note of connection origins and destinations.
• The ETERNUS DX60/DX80 has two LAN ports (1000Base-T/100Base-
TX/10Base-T, MNT port and RMT port) for each controller.
- For device management via GUI or CLI, use MNT port.
For dual controller model, only device monitoring and switching the
Master CM (when an error occurs in the LAN environment) can be
performed from the MNT port of Slave CM.
- For remote support operation, use MNT port or RMT port. For remote
support on a different network to the customer network, use the RMT
port as the remote support port. For remote support over the
customer network, only the MNT port need be used.
- Operation using only the RMT port without the MNT port is not
allowed.
• The ETERNUS DX60/DX80 LAN ports operate by default in Auto-
Negotiation mode, which recognizes 1000Base-T/100Base-TX/10Base-
T, and Full duplex / Half duplex automatically.
- When connecting networking equipment such as hubs and routers,
check the specifications and settings of the equipment to be
connected.
- When the LAN ports of the device to be connected operate in Auto-
Negotiation mode, the communication mode is set by the specified
algorithm.
- When the device cannot be recognized correctly, set both devices to
be connected in Fix mode.
• When hub has Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) function and it is enabled,
connection to the ETERNUS DX60/DX80 may fail. If failed, disable the
STP function.
- When STP function is not necessary for network configuration,
disable the function for hub.
- When STP function is necessary for network configuration, disable
the STP function of the hub port or perform the Port-Fast setting only
for the ETERNUS DX60/DX80 connection.
