Connecting to the Network

Generally, Console Manager products have two network connections labeled NET1 and NET2. In the CM8100 there are options for copper wiring (on a standard RJ-45 connector). The CM8100-10G also has a static IP port on NET3.

The network connections on the CM8100 are located on the serial port side of the unit. Connect the provided shielded CAT5 cable to the NET1 to a computer or into your network for initial configuration. By default NET1 and NET2 are enabled.
