Serial Port

This port is for connecting a local management console. It is required to access 
the text-based Command-Line Interface (CLI) for initial configuration of the 
Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. It can also be used for management, 
troubleshooting, and to enable the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port 
for higher-level management functions.

The port accepts an RS-232 serial cable with an RJ-45 male connector. See 

 for more port and cable specifications.

See the Alcatel AOS-W User’s Guide for information on using the features 
available through this port.

10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) Management Port

When enabled, the FE management port provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet 
access to the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch CLI, SNMP, and Web interface for 
complete system management and troubleshooting. It can also be used to 
connect to a separate management network.

The management port accepts a 4- or 8-conductor Category 5 UTP Ethernet 
cable with an RJ-45 male connector. A straight-through cable is required for 
connection to a network port. A crossover cable is required for connection to a 
management workstation. See 

 for more port and cable specifications.

The management port has an LNK/ACT LED on its left side. During operation, 
the LED provides the following status information:

—Ethernet traffic on this port is out-of-band; this port is segmented from 

regular switching and routing functions and cannot be used as a network 
data port.

—Do not connect Access Points to the serial console port. 

The serial port is designed to connect to RS-232-only devices. 
Non-RS-232 devices such as Access Points will cause the Switch to 
fail and can cause damage.
