2. Cabling
Management Port
Port 1 can be used to connect the BitStorm 4800 Express to a network
management system using a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN. A straight-through cable
can be used regardless of the destination interface, since the port automatically
distinguishes between an MDI and an MDIX.
Procedure
To use Port 1 as the out-of-band management port:
2-4
1. Connect an 8-position modular cable to Port 1.
2. If the BitStorm 4800 Express is in a rack, fasten the cable to a rail with a cable
tie.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your Ethernet switch or a network
interface card in a PC.
