Management Network Ports - Oracle Acme Packet 3900 Hardware Installation And Maintenance Manual

Note:
The RJ48C connector looks very similar to an RJ45 connector found on
a typical CAT5 cable, but they are very different. A RJ48C connecter is
fastened on to an Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, not the standard
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) CAT-(1-5) cable. An RJ48C also uses a
different pin out arrangement, voltage level, and line capacitance than an
RJ45.
To create a physical T1 or E1 connection to the Acme Packet 3900 T1/E1 port, use the
rear ports marked T1/E1 for a permanent connection to Wide Area Network (WAN).
Insert the RJ48C connector on the end of the T1/E1 cable into the port labeled
1.
T1/E1.
Lead the cable neatly away from the rear panel toward the component where this
2.
connection terminates.

Management Network Ports

Standard shielded CAT5e or CAT6 (or higher) Ethernet cables with RJ45 jacks are
used for connecting the Acme Packet 3900 management Ethernet ports to your
network. These ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
All management ports can be used to connect the Acme Packet to your LAN. If you
are going to use High Availability (HA), use ports 1 and 2.
Note:
Keep Ethernet cables separated from power cables by at least 60mm where
possible and never run them in the same channel of a trunking system
without segregation.
Note:
As a rule, Mgmt0 should be reserved as the boot/maintenance interface.
Mgmt1 and Mgmt2 are available for high availability.
To connect Ethernet cables to the rear panel Ethernet ports:
Locate the Ethernet cables you plan to connect to the Acme Packet 3900.
1.
Insert the RJ45 connector on the end of the Ethernet cable into one of the
2.
management Ethernet ports. These ports are labeled Mgmt0, Mgmt1, and Mgmt2.
The release tab on the RJ45 jack will click into place when you insert it properly.
