10/100BaseT
Ethernet Cable Ports 5 and 8 are 10/100BaseT Ethernet and conform to the Fast Ethernet
specification (IEE 802.3u) known as 100BaseT. This LAN standard has raised the
Ethernet speed limit from 10 Megabits to 100 Megabits per second. This Ethernet
port has an auto-sensing feature that allows it to determine if the connection is
10BaseT or 100BaseT and adjust its speed as required.
Control Terminal
Port (CTP) Port 4 can be used as a Control Terminal Port (CTP) for configuration, reporting, and
troubleshooting the Vanguard 342.
To access the CTP you must also configure your terminal or terminal emulation
software, to VT100, 9600 bps, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Dual Daughtercard
Slots The Vanguard 342 comes with two slots to support optional daughtercards. This
permits easy future expansion of the product.
