port.
1.1.1 Multi-Gigabit Ethernet
The Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port on the PM7300-T0 supports a maximum connection speed of 10 Gbps,
dependent on cable type and length. Devices can also connect to the Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port at
the following speeds: 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps.
The following table lists the maximum transmission speeds and allow distances for different Ethernet
cable types.
Figure 1 Overview
1.2 Ways to Manage the PM7300-T0
Use any of the following methods to manage the PM7300-T0.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for management of the PM7300-T0 using a (supported) web
browser.
Table 1 Ethernet Cable Types
CABLE TRANSMISSION SPEED MAXIMUM DISTANCE BANDWIDTH CAPACITY
Category 5 100 Mbps 100 m 100 MHz
Category 5e 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps / 5 Gbps 100 m 100 MHz
Category 6 5 Gbps / 10 Gbps 50 m 250 MHz
Category 6a 10 Gbps 100 m 500 MHz
Category 7 10 Gbps 100 m 650 MHz

• Secure Shell (SSH), Telnet. Use for troubleshooting the PM7300-T0 by qualified personnel.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the PM7300-T0
Do the following things regularly to make the PM7300-T0 more secure and to manage the PM7300-T0
more effectively.
• Change the Web Configurator password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Regularly back up the device configuration to a file, and make sure you know how to restore it.
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device has errors. If you have to reset
the PM7300-T0 to its factory default settings, for example because you forgot the password, then you
can use the backup file to quickly restore your last configuration.
