Network Management Ports
The Acme Packet 4600 has three network management ports located on the left side of the
chassis, labeled Mgmt 0 Mgmt 1 Mgmt 2. These 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet ports are used
for EMS control, RADIUS accounting, CLI management, SNMP queries and traps, and other
management functions. 
Ethernet LED
Each network management Ethernet port has two integrated LEDs: one LED indicates
Link, and the other indicates Activity. The LED pair is located directly above its
associated port.
Link LED
The link LED is located to the top left side of the network management Ethernet port. This LED illuminates yellow when a link has been established between the link partner device and the Acme Packet 4600.
Activity LED
The activity LED is located at the top right side of the network management Ethernet port. The activity LED illuminates green when an Ethernet connection has either transmit or receive packet activity.
Upon initial bootup of the Acme Packet 4600, the network management Ethernet ports are not configured. You must first connect to the Acme Packet 4600 over a serial connection before you can configure the management Ethernet ports for use. 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.

Oracle recommends that you use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs for connecting to the rear-panel Acme Packet 4600 Ethernet interfaces. These Ethernet interfaces have a distance limitation of 328 feet (100 m), as defined by the FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
