Console Port

The Option Card port, located on the rear left side of the chassis, provides console access to the Acme Packet 6300/6350 over an RS-232C serial connection. The console port is useful for customers who want permanent console access to the Acme Packet 6300/6350.

Console port communication is used for administration and maintenance purposes from a central office (CO) location. Tasks conducted over a console port include:

• Creating the initial connection to the Acme Packet 6300/6350
• Accessing and using all functionality available via the ACLI
• Performing in-lab system maintenance
