There are two RJ45 serial ports on the VLIU(1,2,10) interface panel, labeled M1 and M2. The M1 port provides a serial link to the MAIN 1 slot, which can contain a VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit pack. The M2 port provides a serial link to the MAIN 2 slot, which can contain a VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC42B/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit pack. A PC connected to either port can access the CLI for the associated circuit pack, to set or change initial configuration settings during installation. Once properly configured and integrated with the local administrative IP network, the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC42B/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit pack can be administered remotely via a network connection.
Note:
The VLNC50/VLNC52/VLNC55 can also be installed MAIN 1 and MAIN 2 with the appropriate VLIU, but it does not use the serial link.
Refer to Table 6-1, VLIU compatibility for more information about supported configurations.
