2. Cabling

3. Port 3 (eth3) is the default uplink. If you have changed the default, use the
configure uplink CLI command or the Configuration / Uplink screen of the
web interface to specify eth3 as the uplink port.
4. For a wire connection, install a ferrite choke if one is included with your
GranDSLAM 4200. See Ethernet Ferrite Choke Installation on page 2-7.
10/100BaseT Uplink (Port 2)
Port 2 can be configured as the uplink for a single GranDSLAM 4200, or for the
terminating unit in a stack of GranDSLAM 4200s. A straight-through cable can be
used regardless of the destination interface, since the port automatically
distinguishes between an MDI and an MDIX.
Procedure
To use Port 2 as the uplink:
1. Connect an 8-position modular cable to Port 2.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the uplink interface, such as an Ethernet
switch.
3. Using the configure uplink CLI command or the Configuration / Uplink screen
of the web interface, specify eth2 as the uplink port.
Install a ferrite choke if one is included with your GranDSLAM 4200. See Ethernet
Ferrite Choke Installation on page 2-7.
