Step 2: Connect the BX7000 Multi-Access Gateway to External Devices
Connect to the RJ-45 Serial Console Port
Connect the RJ-45 end of the crossover twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 serial console
port of the gateway. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of the
management console.
Connect to the USB Console Port
Connect the Type B end of the USB cable to the USB console port of the gateway.
Connect the Type A end of the USB cable to the USB port of the management
console.

The Ethernet ports provide connections to external devices and can be used either
as data ports or as management ports.
NOTE:
Although cables can be connected to both the copper Ethernet port and the
fiber-optic Ethernet port, in the case of both the Ethernet 1 port and the Ethernet
2 port, the copper port and the fiber-optic port cannot be active at the same time.
If both ports are connected, only the fiber-optic port will be active. For more
information regarding use of the Ethernet ports, see the BX7000 Multi-Access
Gateway Hardware Guide.
There are three copper Ethernet ports and two fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet ports, as
shown in the following illustration:

The T1/E1 ports provide connections to T1 or E1 networks. Use an RJ45-to-RJ45
interface cable to connect the gateway to networking devices.
