Ethernet connectivity with the TN8412AP circuit pack

The S8400 Server supports connectivity with the TN8412AP (SIPI) circuit pack. This interface is
for control signaling only. No bearer traffic is carried over this connection.
The physical connection between the TN8412AP and the TN8400 circuit packs is made by
either:
A 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cross-over cable that directly interconnects the appropriate
backplane pins of the two circuit packs. This cable plugs into the TN8400AP cable adapter
RJ45 ETH-A port and the TN8412AP IPSI-2 adapter RJ45 control port.
Connection to the customer LAN. Connecting the TN8412AP and the TN8400 via the
customer LAN is generally done using a cross-over cable direct interconnect method as
