Serial Console - Sophos SG 430 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating Instructions
SG 430/450 Rev. 2
SFP+:
10GBase-SR
IEEE 802.3 - 10 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Multi-mode fiberglas cables cover a
distance of up to 400 m.
10GBase-LR
IEEE 802.3 - 10 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Single-mode fiberglas cover a distance of
approximately 10 km
Note: The SFP+ ports of the Sophos FleXi Port modules are dual-rate capable
supporting both 1GbE and 10GbE speeds when using appropriate GBICs also
supporting both rates.
Caution: The SFP GBIC and SFP+ ports use lasers to transmit signals over
fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1
Laser equipment and are inherently eye-safe in normal operation. However, you
should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on. Always install
appropriate and UL approved Laser Class I Transceivers, rated 3.3Vdc, max. 1W,
in the fiber ports before using the fiber ports.
Installing a SFP GBIC module:
Please read the operation manual to the SFP GBIC module. Carefully insert the
SFP GBIC module into the port until it engages. The interface is immediately
ready for use.
Removing a SFP GBIC module:
1. Remove the fiberglass cable from the module which you wish to remove.
2. Remove the module carefully from the port.
Depending on when you purchased your SFP GBIC module, it may have any of
three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the mini-
GBIC, a wire bail, or a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC.
Please read the operation manual to the SFP GBIC module.

Serial Console

You can connect a serial console to the COM port of the Sophos SG Firewall
hardware appliances. You can use, for instance, the Hyperterminal terminal
program which is included with most versions of Microsoft Windows to log on to
the appliance console. Use an RJ45 to DB9 adapter cable or the provided USB
cable to connect the console to your hardware appliance.
The required connection settings are:
Ì Bits per second: 38,400
Data bits: 8
Ì
Parity: N (none)
Ì
Ì Stop bits: 1
Access via the serial console is activated by default on ttyS1. The connections of
the appliances and the respective functionality are listed in chapter "Operating
Elements and Connections."
