8275-416 LEDs are located at the lower left corner of the front panel (left of
the single-digit display and are identified with a vertical bar (I), OK, and
Fault. The LED for the vertical bar is Green, as is the OK LED; the Fault
LED's color is amber. The states of the LEDs are on, off, or blinking, are
explained later in this chapter.
The single digit display is located at the lower left corner of the front panel
as shown in Figure 2 on page 6. During diagnostics, the character displayed
indicates the diagnostic test being executed. Once the 8275-416 is
operational, the character displayed is its Unit ID.
The serial port is a standard DB-9 male connector that provides an
EIA–232 serial interface (sometimes referred to as the out-of-band
management port). Use a null-modem serial cable when connecting to a
workstation (see "Appendix C. Cable Pinout Diagrams" on page 79). Use a
VT100 terminal emulator program to configure your terminal's attached
COM port as follows:
v 19 200 baud
v 8 data bits
v 1 stop bit
v No parity
v Hardware flow control OFF
See "Chapter 2. Accessing the 8275-416" on page 11 for more information
about connectivity.
The 8275-416 has 16 Ethernet 10/100BASE-TX ports. Each port has two
LEDs located at the lower right and left of the connector. Status indications
of the Port LEDs are explained later in this chapter.
These feature modules are available to expand port connections to your
