Interface Description

CON/AUX interface

The console interface of a router can connect to an operation terminal for onsite configuration. An AUX interface can connect to a remote management center through a modem for remote configuration. Table 4-279 lists the CON/AUX interface attributes.

Table 4-279 CON/AUX interface attributes

Attribute	Description
Connector type	RJ45
Standards compliance	RS232
Working mode	Full-duplex Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)
Data equipment type	Data circuit terminal equipment (DCE) AUX interface: data terminal equipment (DTE)
Cable type	Console Cable

USB interface (host)

A USB interface provides up to 480 Mbit/s upload and download rates. Table 4-280 lists attributes of a USB interface.

Table 4-280 USB interface attributes

Attribute	Description
Connector type	Type A
Standards compliance	USB2.0
Working mode	Host

G.SHDSL interface

A G.SHDSL interface transmits service data from a LAN to an upstream device at a high speed over a symmetric digital subscriber line. Table 4-281 lists attributes of a G.SHDSL interface.

Table 4-281 G.SHDSL interface attributes

Attribute	Description
Connector type	RJ45
Standards compliance	ITU-T G.991.2
Rate	15.296Mbps/pair (In PTM transmission mode, the binding type is set to EFM)

GE electrical interface

A GE electrical interface (10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives Ethernet services at 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, or 1000 Mbit/s. Table 4-282 lists attributes of a GE electrical interface.

Table 4-282 GE electrical interface attributes

GE combo interface

A GE combo interface consists of an optical Ethernet interface and an electrical Ethernet interface on the panel. The two interfaces have only one internal forwarding interface. The electrical and optical interfaces are multiplexed, and only either of them can work at a time. When either of the Ethernet interfaces is working, the other interface is shut down.

The GE electrical interface (10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives services at 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, or 1000 Mbit/s. It must be used with an Ethernet Cable.
The GE optical interface (100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives services at 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s. It must be used with an Optical Fiber, GE eSFP Optical Modules, or FE SFP/eSFP Optical Modules.

In V200R008C30 and earlier versions, a combo interface works as an electrical interface and uses a network cable to transmit and receive data by default.
In V200R008C50 and later versions, a combo interface works in auto mode and automatically works as an optical or electrical interface by default.

E1 interface

An E1 interface transmits data and image signals. Table 4-283 lists attributes of an E1 interface.
