Activity LED

The activity LED is located to the top right side of the Ethernet port. It illuminates green when an Ethernet connection has either transmit or receive packet activity.

Upon initial bootup, these Ethernet ports are not configured. You must first connect to the Acme Packet 6300/6350 over a serial connection before you can configure the management Ethernet ports for use. You set up the management interfaces using the physical and network interface configuration elements. Refer to the System Configuration chapter of the Acme Packet Configuration Guide for details.

Once the management network interface is configured, it should be reserved for the following:

Maintenance activities
Application log retrieval
Software upgrades
System configuration
Telnet, SSH, SNMP, FTP, and SFTP connections
RADIUS CDR transmission

Oracle Acme Packet recommend that you use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs for connecting to the rear-panel Acme Packet 6300/6350 Ethernet interfaces. These Ethernet interfaces have a distance limitation of 328 feet (100 m) as defined by the FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
