Ethernet Ports
The pin assignments on the Ethernet ports (the LAN port on all models and the MGT port on
models where the MGT port is an Ethernet port) are industry-standard. They are shown in the
following table.

Use Cat6 cable for Gigabit Ethernet.
Serial Ports
Tropos 6410 and 6420 routers that are equipped with serial ports can support serial clients on
RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces. The serial port can also be used to power the router.
The router can support the following serial client scenarios. Before installation determine the
installation scenario and the appropriate powering option for that scenario.
