The VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC42B/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit packs provide an RJ45 Ethernet port on the faceplate for a management LAN connection. A PC or laptop can be connected directly to this Ethernet port during installation using an Ethernet cross-over cable, and the default IP address assigned to this port. Once this port has been properly configured to operate within the local management LAN environment, the circuit pack can be accessed remotely over the network. DHCP can also be enabled on this interface, to allow it to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Secure remote connections over the network to the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC42B/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit packs require the use of Secure Shell (SSH) client software.
