Fiber cables to all required MiniGBICs and Xenpaks

ENI and GNI modules.
Serial Connection to the Console/Modem Port
The console port, located on the CMM module, provides a
serial connection to the switch and is required when logging
into the switch for the first time. By default, this female DB-9
connector provides a DCE console connection. However, by
changing the onboard jumper setting, the port can be changed
to a DTE modem connection.
Modem Connections. If you require a modem connec-
tion to the switch, you must convert the console port to
support modem connections by installing a hardware
jumper on the CMM. Refer to your OmniSwitch 8800
