Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

NIC 1 and NIC 2 (RJ-45) Ethernet Connections

The NIC 1 and NIC 2 connections support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T standards. The
transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is autosensing by default and is user configurable.

Note The ACS Server must use only the NIC 1 port on the appliance. Using NIC 2 may lead to software
configuration problems.

Console Port Connections

The console port on the CSACS 1120 Series appliance includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial
(DB-9) connector. This serial console connector (port) allows you to access the appliance locally by
connecting a terminal—either a PC running terminal-emulation software or an ASCII terminal—to the
console port.
To connect a PC running terminal-emulation software to the console port, use a DB-9 female to DB-9
female null-modem cable.
To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use a DB-9 female to DB-25 male straight-through
cable with a DB-25 female to DB-25 female gender changer. The default parameters for the console port
are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no hardware flow control.

Do not connect or use a modem or telephone during a lighting storm. Electrical shock from lightning
can result.
Never connect or use a modem or telephone in a wet environment.
Do not plug a modem or telephone cable into the Ethernet connector.
Disconnect the modem cable before opening a product enclosure, touching or installing internal
