Connectors are keyed and must be inserted into the GBIC module connector in proper
alignment. Typically, the two optical connector plugs are different colors to facilitate
connector alignment.
To install a connector, remove the protective plug from the GBIC module connector. Ease
the plug into the GBIC module connector; forcing it can damage both the connector and
the GBIC module. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or debris before inserting
the connector into the GBIC module.
Serial Port Connection
The SilkWorm 2100 switch contains a serial port for initial configuration of the IP address
and for service recovery. Do not use the serial port during normal operation or for regular
maintenance. Remove the serial port cable and cover the port during normal operation of
the switch. (A cover is included with the switch.)
Only one command session can be active at a time and, because a telnet connection takes
priority, the serial port session is terminated when a telnet connection is made. The serial
port connection is restored when the telnet session is complete, but with login and a
password required.
The following are the settings for the serial port:
8-bit
No parity
One stop bit
9600 baud
No flow control
